Woodward lied. He said he would not confirm it until DT's death. Even in recent days he has said this.
And Felt was prosecuted for break-ins himself.
THESE are the people being held up as heroes?
I just saw a rerun of Chris Matthews. Ed Bradlee is still a bitter old leftist. He was complaining about "those people"(I'm assuming) like J. Gordon Liddy, Buchanan, etc. on television giving their side of the story. How unbiased of him. /sarcasm
And Felt was prosecuted for break-ins himself.
Felt was CONVICTED of charges relating to FBI *black bag* jobs of family members of those involved with the Weathermen. He was not pardoned until Ronald Reagan took office.
FYI, it's long been suspected that the *high White House source* was really a wiretap of the White House switchboard and that *Deep Throat* was an FBI [or other agency] spook with access to the Bureau's ElSur [ELectronic SURveillance] or COINTELPRO files.
