Yet he backstabbed a great man.
Nailed it.
Bravo. Would just add that Mr. Felt violated his oath of office and the Constitution and committed felonies by disclosing the information that he disclosed to Woodward and Bernstein.
So what?
I still think Al was involved.
Nixon was dishonest, but that does not justify Mark Felt’s completely illegal leaking of FBI information. Felt hoped to be FBI Director after J. Edgar Hoover. Nixon, correctly, wanted an outsider. Felt’s motives against Nixon were entirely personal.

Ah, one of those "real Christians" who betrays his vows and seeks to destroy another human due to a fit of pique.
>>Real Christian? I know it was a long time ago, but back in Sunday school I remember something about the Ten Commandments and “Thou shalt not covet”. <<
Felt, with no sense of loyalty and stabbed Nixon in the back, was a professed Christian? Who would have guessed?
I don’t believe he was DT. It was really a combination of people.

It’s hard to summon the generation gap intensity of the Vietnam War protests of the 1970s. It was in that context — and this is not an excuse for their actions — that Felt and another former top FBI official, Edward S. Miller, authorized warrantless searches at the homes of friends and relatives of Weather Underground members in a desperate, and illegal, hunt for the whereabouts of the protesters they considered terrorists. Indeed, Bill Ayers may have Mark Felt to thank for avoiding prison.
As former President Richard M. Nixon testified at the trial of Felt and Miller, “It was quite different than what it is today,” a “wartime,” when the Weathermen intended “to overthrow the government.”
Felt and Miller were convicted in 1980, but President Ronald Reagan, in words that resonate today with the current debate, pardoned them less than a year later. Citing President Jimmy Carter’s blanket pardon for Vietnam draft evaders, Reagan said in his statement, “We can be no less generous to two men who acted on high principle to bring an end to the terrorism that was threatening our nation.”
By your works you shall be known. Name fits him just fine.
That’s the least of the things he should have been ashamed about, but that’s deep-staters for ya.
Real Christians don’t stab a country in the back and then hide for years.
