"He was an opportunist, plain and simple"
And being an opportunist, Felt would have come out of the box long ago to capitalize on the story had HE BELIEVED that he was a hero that was intent only on saving the Republic. The fact that this has come out now and primarly from the coaxing of his family in order to profit is testimony that MF KNOWS his actions were criminal, cowardly, and as corrupt as the corruption he was exposing which did grave damage to the country.
No disagreement. An opportunist chooses the best opportunity for himself in the moment. This best op for him was staying quiet, for 30 years. Now the best op is to come forward, cash in.
The interesting thing would be to find out how many MSM news directors were tickled in advance as to their interest in frothing up an American hero story.
