He wasn't a leaker, He was a whistleblower.

...was a whistleblower...

Wasn't that Monica's codename?

Felt said he was upset by the slow pace of the FBI investigation into the Watergate break-in and believed the press could apply some much-needed pressure on the administration to cooperate.

Or a senile old coot who Woodward has duped into believing that he was "Deep-throat". I still believe that there was no deep throat.

Whistleblower? He undermined the DOJ investigation that was going on at the time. From what I remember, DOJ people
resigned, rather than knuckle under to the Nixon Administration attempts to whitewash it.

Look at the DOJ now. Whitewaters, um, whitewashes everything: illegal aliens, theft from the National Archives, missing FBI files, ...

Coincidence? I think not.

Thank you, Mark Felt.
