The media ALL knew Felt was breaking the law...They're not stupid. I'll bet somewhere there is an old signed agreement between Felt and Woodward and assoc. for 30 years of silence. There certainly wasn't any hesitation on the part of the media in validating Felt.
I have news for you. I have never belonged to DU so there is no place to lose.
I am just trying to understand your point of view and why Felt telling Woodward is a bad thing. That is how a person becomes educated, by understanding both sides of every issue.
If you are going to paraphrase a source, please state the source of your recitation. Thanks!
That is because he couldn't trust those that he would normally tell it to. If those who are above you are potentially involved then how do you get it investigated?
He actually saved the FBIs integrity in an odd way because his boss was getting pressure from the Nixon White House to not investigate and as head of the FBI he was actually destroying documents. So obviously he couldn't be trusted.
Not one soul here has defended Tricky's actions, mister.
Those votes were going to come from Republicans also. So why are they attacking Felt now? Because they would have been forced to do the honest thing?
Clinton was a rapist. Plain and simple. The MSM gave him a pass, when ostensibly it was their responsibility to out him.
He was the most investigated because he generated the most evidence of illegal activity of any elected official since Tammany Hall.
Ah, what an honorable man. Methinks Felt should have stayed in the shadows. The light of truth isn't doing his legacy much good.
But, on the plus side...Woodward is proving himself to be one heck of a stenographer.
I don't think Congress convicted Clinton of anything.
Do you have a problem with people challenging your point of view? Is it that fragile that it can't stand a challenge that you have to start calling people names?
You should re-read your post #35 to get back to the point. You asked why Nixon resigned, not why Republicans might have been ready to vote for impeachment.
That is nice. Pick on a typo because you can't defend your argument.
And I repeat -- Clinton's philandering created a hole in national security that spies could drive an armored division through. That is the issue nobody left or right seems to get.
"Not one soul here has defended Tricky's actions, mister."
But it was implied.
But it was implied.
Make that inferred...
I'll call you whatever I feel like it. You got a problem with that, DH?
Iritated liberal disruptor alert! Let's give him a wonderful Free Republic welcome.

"Make that inferred..."
Thank you for the correction.
What do you think of this and should it have resulted in Kerry not being eligible for the Presidency?
The Many Faces of John Kerry (Part 2)
excerpt:
On Sept. 18, 1972, the evening before the primary election during his second attempt for Congress, Kerry's brother Cameron and one Thomas Vallely, both part of his current campaign team, were arrested by Lowell police at 1:40 a.m. and charged with breaking and entering with the intent to commit larceny. The two were apprehended in the basement of a building whose door had been forced open, police said. It housed the headquarters of candidate DiFruscia. The Watergate scandal was making headlines at this time, and it was called the Lowell Watergate.
"They wanted to sever my telephone lines," DiFruscia said recently. Had those lines been cut, Kerry's opponent would not have been able to telephone supporters on Election Day to get out the vote and coordinate poll watchers, vital roles in a close election. "I do not know if they wanted to break into my office," says DiFruscia today. At the time he said, "All my IBM cards and the list of my voter identification in the greater Lowell area are in my headquarters."
Cameron and Vallely, along with David Thorne, who was Kerry's campaign manager at the time and has been close to him since they attended Yale together, did not deny the two entered the building in which they were captured. They said at the time they were in the cellar of the building to check their own telephone lines because they had received an anonymous call warning they would be cut.
This reporter heard an allegation that another congressional candidate placed the alleged anonymous call, which was denied. But if the Kerry campaign was concerned about someone breaking and entering to cut off its telephone service, why didn't they just call the police? Why break the law? And what does any of this say about Kerry's mind-set? Kerry campaign officials did not answer important Lowellgate questions.
