Deep Throat
 

Anyone want to talk about this? Interesting article in the Post:

Obviously he was pissed at Nixon for not promoting him.

The SOB should be put in a geriatrics jail cell. Not only did he violate his oath of office and broke the damn law, he is a moral coward. He should have either taken it to the Attorney General and if that failed then he should have resigned from the FBI and then gone to the papers.

Jack Moroney-wondering if this guy and Hoover played dress up together

That is one of the funniest things I have had the fortune to read in a long time. The visual it evokes makes it even funnier.

i'm sorry, but rubberneck responding to the Deep Throat thread has me hurting... :D

And I thought this thread was about a movie.

:rolleyes:



:D

How did he violate anything? He didn't actually give them any info, just confirmed whatever they had found.

When the leader of a nation (any nation, I'm not refeering specificly to USA here) breaks the law(s), it needs to be exposed.

:D

Correct Huey, and when a Law Enforcement Officer (especially one in his position) has knowledge - however slight - of such illegal activity, it is his sworn duty to uphold his oath and conduct forthwith an investigation into said activity.

Not sneak around in a dark garage like a little f..... maryjane, leaking information to the press to further your own agenda, and payback for perceived slights.

I'm with the Col. on this one. Mr X-FBI dude has long ago lost the right stand on his porch and smile like he's really done something. Have the courage of your convictions up front not decades later when the "media - all clear" is sounded.

I remember seeing a reason why he didn't go public with the info...let me see if I can find it.

Me too. There's channels for that sort of thing. Telling the press isn't, and shouldn't, be one of them.

Besides, I doubt he was in it for the moral good of the country, what with the whole resenting Nixon for not making him head FBI honcho...

I agree with this statement 100% What a wimp! :rolleyes:

:munchin

Geeze, how about the fact that both the Attorney General and the White House Chief of Staff were helping Nixon break the law?

You do know that Reagan also pardoned Felt as well, don't you?

Felt's pardon only granted clemency to his authorizing the break in's and wire tappings of anti-war organizers offices without warrants. Any other illegal activity not covered by that pardon is fair game.

I've read that Felt and Woodward knew each other on a personal level before Watergate and that Felt was an "anonymous source" more than a couple times before and after Watergate.
