But that flies in the face of the WP and "informants" agreement. It was the daughter that leaked the info but why now? The agreement was for after he's dead, which looks like soon, but he's still alive.
Could it be that this issue resurrected to nullify the stupid book coming out on Clinton to take the spot light off of Hillary.....
What generation are you Boomer, X or Y?
Anything is possible .. though I don't really think so
I think he was a turncoat and wonder how much he leak to our enemies??????
lets look closer was this guy a double agent?
You're welcome, Tom.
Some hero. The Deputy Director of the FBI who lacked the courage or the principles to report the alleged crimes to the authorities using the appropriate channels. Instead, he leaked the info anonomously to the press while remaining in his position of trust. He didn't resign and he didn't testify before Congress. Felt should be prosecuted for his criminal conduct.
It is ironic that Felt was pardoned by Reagan after being convicted by a jury for condoning his own Watergate type "break-in" without a warrant.
Thanks for that link
So, the great hero of the left turns out to be nothing more than an ingrate bureacrat who was upset because he was passed up for a promotion. There's some altruism.
Hoover refused to go along, citing the illegality of elements of the plan. This was the genesis on the “Plumbers” and the beginning of a series of illegal break-ins, wiretaps, and ‘black bag’ jobs that would bring down the government.
Hoover was worried about the illegality??
This coming from a man who had investigations and wiretaps on many top political figures??
And MF is a democrat. Now that figures too, doesn't it?
Democrats love payback and always feel slighted and jealous over promotions or good fortunes of others.
This revealing about John Dean.....
John Dean tells us in "Lost Honor", of a conversation he had with John Ehrlichman about wiretap records that was passed on to Ehrilichman to prevent Hoover’s using them for blackmail. Ehrlichman responds, “Deny it! It sounds like your friend over at the FBI, Mark Felt, has been talking again” (67). Dean goes on further to say that the only people who knew the names of the individuals whose phones had been tapped at the time “…the information was given to Woodward were Richard Nixon, Henry Kissinger, John Ehrlichman, John Mitchell, Bob Mardian and…in the FBI, Mark Felt” (347).

That's what I had heard too long ago.
Nixon was right to be wary of him.
Shoulda turned Liddy loose on him...lol
Exactly. From what I have gathered here today, Liddy is pissed, and rightly so.
I've always detested John Dean. Such a weasel.
TODAY'S QUOTES!
"If he were interested in performing his duty, he would have gone to the grand jury with his information." - G. Gordon Liddy, a former Nixon operative who helped direct the break-in, in a CNN interview.
"There's a certain mythology about Deep Throat and his being omnipotent and knowing all and seeing all. (But) he missed a lot of information or had it wrong." - John Dean, Nixon's former White House counsel, on MSNBC.

When Haig was toying with running for President the reporters would often comment on his chain smoking. He later had heart bypass surgery and reportedly quit smoking then.
An asshole, scumbag, puke, traitor.
