When it came out that deputy chief of the FBI Mark Felt was Deep Throat, I remember his daughter and grandson on tv braying that they were owed money for their father’s betrayal, which he had done for the reason he was angry about being passed over for FBI Chief. Thirty pieces of silver would have done just fine - Watergate resulted in the abandonment of South Vietnam, the deaths of hundreds of thousands at the hands of the communists, and the election of a veto proof Congress that did damage we still sustain today.
Yes, precisely, and all done by the Media and unelected bureaucrats.
