Felt's name comes up twice on tapes from Nixon's Oval Office, first on Oct. 19, 1972, and again on Feb. 28, 1973. On the first tape, Chief of Staff H.R. "Bob" Haldeman tells his boss, "...we know who leaked it."
"Somebody in the FBI?" the president asks.
"Yes, sir. Mark Felt," Haldeman says.
On the second tape, Nixon and Dean talk about Felt, and how people would view an FBI agent who snitched on his president.
"The informer is not wanted in our society," Nixon said. "That's the one thing people do sort of line up against.... They say, 'Well, that son-of-a-bitch informed. I don't want him around.' We wouldn't want him around, would we?"
Felt left the FBI in June 1973.
Thanks for that interesting link.
Thanks for that link
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??
That's what I had heard too long ago.
Nixon was right to be wary of him.
Shoulda turned Liddy loose on him...lol
