While many MSM'ers (sorry, most) are lionizing this guy as "a hero," someone who "did what he had to do," something big is being missed.
Our side has pointed out that he authorized/engineered illegal breakins himself...
And that he turned on the Whitehouse because he didn't get the top FBI job. Now think about that....
Felt became a snitch because he didn't get something he wanted! He was an opportunist, plain and simple (and it runs in the family, apparently, as they shamelessly say they urged the old man to do it so they could all get some money). Yeah, a real hero.
But here's what I haven't seen....
If they had made him the head of the FBI, he WOULD NOT have turned on the Whitehouse.
In fact, as head of the FBI....
HE WOULD HAVE HELPED THEM BURY WATERGATE!
I say he's a spook.
Well, not we know this was all precisely timed. Down to W&B denying the truth on Tues.......just like it was a big suprise to them....then suddenly they are all over tv.
Wonder how long the networks knew?
Isn't this the damnedest thing? AFter all these years, we're finally doing research on Watergate!
"Isn't this the damnedest thing? AFter all these years, we're finally doing research on Watergate!"
We were the dupes :(
This thing is really beginning to REEK, isn't it?
Bobby Baker scandal
During her tenure as Senator Smathers' secretary, Mary Jo(of the Teddy Kennedy fame!) shared an apartment flat with Nancy Carole Tyler, secretary to Bobby Baker, an aide to Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson. An emerging scandal involving Baker's corrupt activities prompted President John F. Kennedy to privately offer Senator Smathers the second spot on the 1964 presidential ticket with plans to drop Johnson as his running mate. The roommates, Kopechne and Tyler, allegedly leaked the President's plans to the press. Some researchers have claimed a link between the Bobby Baker scandal and the 1963 JFK assassination. Tyler died mysteriously in a plane crash in May 1965. Kopechne went on to become secretary to Senator Robert F. Kennedy, until he was assassinated in June 1968 during his run for the Presidency.
I bet old Joanie is REALLY hacked off about this! :-)
to high heaven.
Just remember Watergate Self-Help books are out selling the Watergate Diet books
FGS, and they both ended up dead?
And there I was thinking 'broken glass' Republican was a badge of honor, but you gone done and upped the ante...
We were the dupes :(
Yep, but we were at the mercy of the MSM, not anymore and we will never forget who the dupers were.
OMG
I know I'm gonna have nightmares.
I may have an answer for that . . .
James McCord of the Watergate burglars and CREEP (Committee for the Reelection of the President) testified before the Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities on May 18, 1973 and was asked by Senator Daniel Inouye (D-HI) why the break-in was conducted. McCord replied, "Democratic national headquarters staff members" were "working closely with violence groups"… "which involved violence and demonstrations against our committee". When Senators Inouye, Lowell Weicker (R-CT), Ed Gurney (R-FL), and Howard Baker (R-TN) asked for more detail, in each case McCord repeated the "violence" reference but specifically – and only -- named the "Vietnam Veterans Against the War", accusing them as "a violence-oriented group" (Hearing pages 180, 200, 201, 223-24 and elsewhere, May 18 and 22 testimony).
Just imagine the flowchart from this story.
bttt
Do you believe that? (BTW, I'd love to because this could make it all John Kerry's fault.......LOL)
Wow!
I said in an earlier post that I needed a flowchart to keep the players sorted out.
Hey there. You just getting up or haven't gone to bed yet?
