LIDDY JUST TOLD MATTHEWS THAT IT WAS JOHN DEAN WHO ORDERED THE WATERGATE BREAK-IN.
So John Dean goes down as a hero to democrats for speaking out....and he was the on who gave the green light....
Now they have Felt......WHO VIOLATED FEDERAL LAW SEVERAL TIMES.
Convicted of illegal break-ins....and now....according to his relatives.....has admitted to leaking classified fed investigation info.
A couple of liberal journalists attempting to harmonize all of the various accounts of Watergate came to the conclusion that John Dean was the originator of the Watergate burglarly. They wrote it up in their book Silent Coup. Liddy found their reasoning persuasive enough to convince him, and he routinely accuses Dean of having thought up the breakin, and of having managed to pin the blame on Nixon in order to protect his own hide.
One nugget you learn from this book is that Bob Woodward, before becoming a writer for the Washington Post, had been a Naval officer, and one with an interesting job. He was a military attache to the White House, and one of the men he worked with was an Army officer of the name Al Haig. I suspect there is more to "Deep Throat" than just Mark Felt.
That's how it works in DC. Democrats good. Republicans bad.
