She did say it took time to persuade her father that he hadn't betrayed the Bureau and that enough time had passed for people to understand that what he did was right.

So she waited until he was mentally unable to resist.

That or he was a sad sack, old and haggard enough that he would look bad to indict. Which is what just happened, the FBI said it had better things to do (read, didn't want to suffer the $#!#storm that the left would have plastered them with for indicting their hero, the power-hungry jerk).

[muawiyah]

Hey, if I felt Felt was anything other than a stone-cold killer in the same pattern as Pol Pot, Mao Ze Dung, Hitler, Stalin, and a host of others, I might give a doggone that his equally sociopathic daughter might be taking advantage of him.

This man is responsible for setting forces in motion that resulted in the Cambodian Holocaust and the death of half a million people in the South China Sea.

He is not anyone any of us should even think of pitying.

[bonfire]

If he's so mentally "with-it" how come we haven't heard a peep from him?

[RoseofTexas]

WELL, loooky here....

"New Jersey Police arrest 80 year old woman in prostitution case"

OH HELL don't give me that sh**!! Age should not deter from arresting the old fart!! If this 80 year old can be read her rights in handcuffs, surely Felt the traitor, should also be behind bars!!!

[lunarbicep]

She did say it took time to persuade her father that he hadn't betrayed the Bureau and that enough time had passed for people to understand that what he did was right. "We had to help him see that most of the world now considers what he did heroic.

consider me among the minority then

[bonfire]

Like father, like daughter.

[Viking2002]

So she waited until he was mentally unable to resist.

Yup. She waited until the old fart reached that event horizon between lucidity and senility to work him over. She has no husband to foot her bills, so she saw a fat paycheck coming from Daddy's illicit deeds.

[Navy Patriot]

Well, Joan Felt's ethics, morals and parenting are beyond reproach. Felon father, hippie daughter, bastard grandkids needing money to make LAWYERS out of 'em. We are so blessed.

"I am willing to stake my loyalty and dedication to my country against that of anyone," he wrote in his memoir, penned in 1979.

Which country would that be, exactly, Mr. Felt?

[xJones]

In 1990, at age 77, the former FBI man severed the last of his Washington ties and moved to Santa Rosa. He rented an apartment for a time, and in 1992 purchased a split-level, five-bedroom home on Redford Place for about $200,000. The lower part of the split-level was remodeled into an apartment for him, with a bedroom-living room, kitchenette and bathroom.

The 'lower part' is the basement, from other reports. What an end for Deep Throat; he's demented, kept in the basement, and his old anti-establishment daughter is trying to make money off daddy before the 91 year-old coot dies. Some glory, some glamor...

[M-cubed]

She gave birth to three children after embracing a counterculture lifestyle that did not include marriage. <<

Seems like the leftist counterculture she embraced failed ( like all leftist Utopian poppycock)...so as a leftist, she fine tuned it and went from whore to pimp...

[xJones]

If he's so mentally "with-it" how come we haven't heard a peep from him?

He's in the basement of the $200,000 home he bought in 1977. The daughter and her kids live upstairs.

[M-cubed]

Good analysis!...pretty well sums it up....

[CaptainK]

What a mess of a family. But the good news is that she has put a crimp in the pockets of Woodward and Bernstein.

[Che Chihuahua]

"Deep Throat" Felt belongs in a jail cell for violating his sworn duty as a law enforcement officer by leaking details about an ongoing investigation to the press (aka obstruction of justice). There is nothing worse than a law breaking law enforcement officer. Yes, it seems cruel, but aren't we, as that old windbag Watergate Committee Chair Sam Ervin said, "a government of laws and not of men"?

[John Robertson]

This is SO California.

When I was living in LA and the Menendez brothers shotgunned their parents to death, their skag-botoxed woman neighbor sold her "story" to the National Enquirer for $25K. When a TV reporter shoved a mike in her face and asked her why she did it, this was her response: "This is a tragedy, but I'm going to get through it. I'm a survivor."

The neighbors get turned into cordite burgers, but it was all about her!

And, uh, Joan Felt, a 61-year-old "single mom"? We used to call them divorcees or grandmothers, sometimes both.

A perfect picture of liberal ideology in action...
