It seems like Deep Throat all over again. Mark Felt was upset that Patrick Gray became Acting Director of the FBI. As a result, Mark Felt became Deep Throat. “Turned me down for a job? You’ll be sorry!”
It amazes me that so many were willing accomplices.
And people do that!
Even in normal everyday commercial/business/personal life people are petty & egotistical, more so at the highest levels of commerce, military & government life!
Why should anyone be surprised?
We should be surprised when they’re not!
