This is a older article, but it is amazing that the fact that Watergate was largely a coup d'etat staged in the upper levels of the FBI so that agency could remain answerable to no one has not been discussed in the media more than it has.

This de facto coup seems to me to be one of the biggest political stories of the 20th century, but no one seems to care about it.

Watergate looks like a laughably small matter

compared to what Obama and his evil minions are now doing.

Bribing Senators

Suing states

No budget

No SS budget report

DOJ will not bring suits against certain groups ...

Need I go on?

It should always be mentioned that it was John Dean who ordered the break-in to retrieve the “Black Book” that listed the hookers used by the DNC. That book included Dean’s then girlfriend and later wife.

Journalistic ethics???????????????????????????????

An oxymoron of the first order.

Neither of these two men have a shred of integrity and now as in the past use their agenda for an excuse to print their version of ‘facts’.

Silent Coup

I read this book years ago. Another story suppressed by the MSM.

Today the upper levels of the FBI, CIA and MSM are all bought and paid for by the Democrat party. And even if a Democrat is impeached (like Bill Clinton was), they would never do the honorable thing and step down.

I still have doubts that Felt was the sole source of the deep throat revelations...

It was nothing more than a second rate break in of the democrat headquarters in the Watergate hotel...they were looking for stuff about a prostitution ring some democrats were in charge of at the Watergate....Nixon found out after the fact...big fuccccken deal. The democrats ran Agnew out as vice president then the went after Nixon...so he resigned. When Nixon named Ford as Vice President a bunch of democrats in congress tried to block him being accepted, they wanted Nixon to name a democrat, because they figured they had enough on Nixon to impeach him....that was the Coup d etat they were hoping for and Dean was a tratior to the admin...The press hated Nixon since he was Eisenhower's Vp..

The black caucus was the leaders of the get Nixon crowd. Baker was also one of the Republican Senators that went to Nixon and told him that he would be removed from office as the democrats with some republicans would vote for removal. So he resigned instead of being removed...

The hero of the whole mess was G. Gorden Liddy, he didn't squeal on Nixon and went to prison...his store in prison is an intresting book....

While I’m all for uncovering government wrondoing, Felt isn’t an innocent. It was his breaking the law as an FBI agent that got Bill Ayers off the hook during the Weather Underground investigation. Without Bill Ayers, we would have no President Obama.

Journalism died when they became no more than democrat cheerleaders (Sometime in the 60’s apparently). Most “journalists” are communist traitors and should be shot.

Nixon’s admin was FULL of such plants. Even after he went, he STILL had terrible advice, such as to go on that British interview

Should be subtitled: “Why You Can’t Trust the Washington Post”. Ben Bradlee knew damn well what the FBI was up to, and he went along with it.

Excellent article with another dimension to the story. Provides obvious corollaries to the “follow the money” dictum when seeking truth.

Woodward and Bernstein’s exposé of Watergate has been seen as a high point of journalism

It was a major turning point, not high point. From then on journalism became a career that attracts narcissists looking for fame. That is why post-Watergate most news stories carry a byline below the title.

People possessing more or bigger things than a narcissist is in conflict with their vain view of self, so they develop into left-wing extremists. Narcissists harm those around them, and in one generation have destroyed the newspaper industry.
