Just had to comment. Just seeing the name of that book “Silent Coup” gives me a chill up my spine to think of the evil, back stabbing, conspiracy against Nixon - and our Nation at that time. A great book. Not only a very interesting and gripping tale - but ALL of it is very highly documented as well.

Their was an Admiral Moorer in the book. He was on the same ship as Woodward I believe - even though they both deny it. And Moorer was involved in some shady dealings with trying to hurt someone's influence (Kissinger or someone?) I forget exactly, but I recall a quote of his from that era (mid 70’s) when he was accused of doing something wrong he said something like “It is inconceivable...preposterous that I would be involved.....”

I use a clipping from a magazine article from the 90’s (or so I think) where Moorer was accused of dealing in illegal arms deals. Aircraft or tanks or something, under the guise of museum pieces. When accused, he stated in the magazine article the the exact same words quoted in the book! (”It is inconceivable...preposterous that I would be involved.....”)
