'Deep throat': Whistleblower lawyer says client's identity could remain unknown for decades
Washington Examiner ^ | Nov. 6, 2019

Posted on 11/06/2019 1:31:08 PM PST by deplorableindc

Attorneys for the whistleblower who triggered impeachment proceedings against President Trump see the three-decade "Deep Throat" mystery as a model for keeping his identity secret.

The secret of "Deep Throat" was kept from the early '70s until 2005, when former FBI associate director Mark Felt came forward at 91 years old. He died two years later.

Whistleblower attorney Mark Zaid, an aficionado of Watergate history, said leaving his client's identity unresolved indefinitely would encourage future whistleblowers. “Our ideal ending is that the identity of the whistleblower is never known and the individual continues on with their personal and professional life as if nothing ever happened," he told the Washington Examiner. "That is the best outcome for most whistleblowers, who simply fulfilled their constitutional duty by reporting a reasonable belief of wrongdoing," he said.

Felt was a prime suspect from the beginning. Eight days before President Richard Nixon resigned in 1974, Washingtonian magazine named him as the probable leaker, though Felt denied it.

Declassified FBI report exposes Communist seedbed for Obama Associates — Part I
The Post & Mail ^ | September 26, 2009 | John Charlton
Posted on 9/28/2009, 2:29:47 AM by Red Steel
The Post & Email has received tonight a decclassified FBI report admitted in evidence in the case brought against W. Mark Felt and Edward S. Miller by President Jimmy Carter’s U.S. Attorney General, Mr. Griffin B. Bell. This document was obtained by an American citizen, who wished to remain anonymous, via a FOIA request.

Mr. W. Mark Felt is none other than the informant who spoke with reporters from the Washington Post, exposing the Watergate Scandal: who went by the name “Deep Throat” a fact that points to his political neutrality in American politics.
What is not know about Mr. Felt is that he was prosecuted by the Carter Administration for civil rights violations against members of the Weather Underground, the radical marxist terrorist organization founded by Bill Ayers and company. Mr. Felt had authorized break-ins without a warrent, an act declared a violation of 4th Amendment rights by the Supreme Court in United States v. U.S. District Court, 407 U.S. 297 (1972). Many agents, consequently, were subsequently prosecuted.

I don’t think “this is not way jOkeass would have done it” is whistle blowing.

This must have been written for the masses who only watch CNN. How else would the author think the blower’s ID is unknown? Right. The whistleblower law was passed to protect people from being fired, NOT from having their identity made known. And the Liberal Supremacists know that, but if they think if you keep repeating it, they will BELIEVE!! And they do.

Anonymity is nonsensical in this situation. We can’t accept unknown accusers making claims that are false. We need to keep hitting back when they do shhhhuger like this. We need to play by their rules, and do it better. As possible candidate, Michelle Obama says, “When they go low, we go lower.” Or something like that. It’s time to fight back.

They want so bad to relive the media glory days of Watergate. They want it so much that every scandal since has ended in “gate”.

It isn’t going to happen this time.

well, since there’s no evidence of any wrongdoing
and since an anonymous allegation with no name nor witness to back it up.. cannot result in anything

if the lawyer wants to risk trying to keep his name secret, so be it

he’s irrelevant and so is any secret client he may be hiding

100 PERCENT ACCURATE!!!

I met her in a club down in old CIA
Where you drink swamp-water and it tastes just like
CIAra Mella
C-I-A-R-A Mella
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said, "C-I-A-r-a"
C-I-A-r-a Mella, Cia Cia Cia Cia Mella

No it won’t. We will all know it when the guy is indicted for attempting a coup. Seriously, I think he will spend time in prison.
