You have to be kidding. Nixon and his fellow conspirators committed crimes, and are criminals. Felt exposed them, and I don't see what's wrong with lawfully pursuing justice. Any results of the scandal are entirely Nixon's responsibility; Felt's not the one who directed burglary and obstructed justice.

A president never has the right to abuse the power granted to him by the people of the United States. If it was so important for Nixon to remain in office to deal with Viet Nam and Cambodia, perhaps he shouldn't have displayed complete contempt for democracy and inexcusably broken the law. If any American is responsible for those 2,500,00 deaths you mention, it is Nixon.

"Nixon and his fellow conspirators committed crimes, and are criminals."

Details please on the crimes Nixon committed.

Perhaps you are unaware that Felt was convicted of the exact same type of operations as the Watergate bunglers and was later pardoned by the newly elected President Reagan.

He was Hoover's johnny boy and did not have clean hands.

Nixon was not the instigator of nor did he approve of the illegal acts done in his name, although he did try to assist his underlings in the resulting cover-up.

Hmmm. Looks as though you came over here to gloat about your hero, Deep Throat. Must be rattling to you that Felt is a crook -- much more so than Nixon. No wonder you are upset.
