Just finished watching Ben Veniste, Charles Colson, and john Dean on with Wolf Blitzed. Beniste and Dean won't say much about Felt, except that his decision to do what he did was "too nuanced" to judge. But Veniste does indeed mention Felt's desire to head the FBI was a factor.
Thank goodness Charles Colson took the chance to respond to one of Veniste's "nuanced" insults. (Veniste spoke of these "felon revisionist" Nixon defenders)
John Dean says for certain Felt was not acting alone. Just look at the facts, he says, and he says it's someone who was inside the White House, maybe the FBI White House liason officer.
Colson wants to know if Veniste thinks "the ends justifies the means". Veniste dodges, refuses to respond. Colson intimates if so, then that speaks volumes about how the hearings were conducted.
I saw most of that segment, too. Colson sets a fine example of how a man can redeem himself and he is able to lay out right vs. wrong plainly, IMO.
Ben Veniste always oozes smarm.
In his talk show round-up segment Wolf played a clip of Ben Bradlee from this morning saying flat out it's now clear Felt's motive was because his dreams of heading up the FBI were squashed. He then says he can't think of any nobler reason for Felt to act as he then did! You could hear audible snickers from whoever else was on the show over this revisionist reasoning.
