Conservative radio talk show host G. Gordon Liddy, who was sent to jail for his role in the Watergate scandal, said former FBI Deputy Director F. Mark Felt is a "flawed individual" who was pressured to confess his identity as the confidential source known as "Deep Throat" because his family wanted money.
Liddy told the Fox News Channel's John Gibson Wednesday that as a law enforcement officer if Felt had evidence of a crime and the participants of that crime, "he was duty bound to take that to the grand jury."
"That's what he should have done rather than leak it selectively to a single news source," said Liddy. "What he did was wrong, and he knew it was wrong. That's why he did not want to go public," added Liddy.
When asked whether Felt was hypocritical because he was later convicted on an unrelated wiretapping charge after the Watergate scandal, Liddy said it makes Felt "a flawed individual."
"It certainly does not make him a hero. Right now, he's a pitiful, pathetic old man who can hardly stand and whose mind is there sometimes and is not at other times," added Liddy.
Agnew was the first Republican County Executive of Baltimore County. He was just following his Democrat predecessors in accepting graft. Unfortunately, he was too stupid to keep it undercover as the previous Democrats had.
I know. My former father-in-law was a long-time friend of Agnew's predecessor. He knew where the bodies were buried.
I like Swirsky's wrods.
They got Nixon, took pot shots at GHW Bush and President Reagan too. Then along came Dan Rather...
It wasn't for a list of hookers! (Altho I'm sure he wouldn't have refiled it.) Contributors' lists, evidence of unrecorded cash, Kennedy misdoings.
Re-read the section called "Golden Boy", the story of John Dean's involvement - and his girlfriend's.
Most of the Nixon higher-ups were Christian Science; but there were a few Mormons, several Episcopalians, Catholics, Jews. And Nixon's law firm Malcolm Mitchell Garment Nixon (I think) was also "diverse."
All should read Lincoln's speech:
The Perpetuation of Our Political Institutions:

Felt was a criminal, end of story.
Your comments are so great, that I thought they needed reposting........with emphasis!
Thanks, libloather. You've got a "twin" here! I despise this current crop of liberal Democrats. They are all empty suits (or empty pantsuits!), and I truly hope that they ARE on their last gasp!
Char :)

RATS should never see or get their hands on top secret material. Just ax Harry Reid...
You were there? Just how cool is that? It maybe time to get your own radio show!
I'm wondering if the statute of limitations can be changed for crimes like this. This perp should do time...
But antonia was saying that the left is being inconsisent in calling Felt a hero, but Tripp a villain.
I told Mrs Felis the woman behind him looked like a handler at a dog show.
I have not seen so much as one caption of this guy without this woman being in the picture. You don't suppose she's going to be writing a book or something do ya? or that maybe "she" is in need of a cash infusion? How much cash can this old fart really need?
"Deep throat" my eye. That picture looks like Aliens V. YIKES!!!!!
In his job as basically running the FBI at that time, he met behind closed doors with various members of Congress up on Capitol Hill on at least a weekly basis.
At the time, the entire Hill was controlled by Democrats.
Why didn't he tell some of THEM. For instance, Sam Irwin?
According to Will.
Prolly peed his pants.

In his job of running the FBI, he was privvy to tons of scandalous information. He was also duty bound to have all that info dealt with through proper channels, not through the press. This guy was a prelude to the current RAT party antics. Felt was/is a traitor and should be prosecuted. By the looks of things, any sentence over 30 days will be a death sentence.
LOL!
