Exactly.
“Felt may have acted independently for his own selfishly vindictive reasons”
A conspiracy requires more than one person. So once again:
“We didn’t have top DOJ and FBI officials conspiring to subvert a President ...”
Moreover Felt didn’t invent a fake story to bring down Nixon. The Watergate breakin actually happened. What Felt did is tell Woodward and Bernstein where to look for evidence that would create trouble for Nixon.
If you want to point to the guy who was responsible for the coup against Nixon try John Dean. The convincing case implicating Dean is made in Colodny and Gettlin’s 1992 book “Silent Coup”. The “Deep State” that caused Watergate was a sleazy White House lawyer and his hooker wife.
Reported by MSN. So likely horse hockey. 😏
Yes, my sign up date more or less coincides with my excitement for Trump running for president. Trump is the first president I voted FOR as opposed to picking the lesser of two evils. Trump is the first president that got me interested to really learn how this country and government is *supposed* to learn.
Pray for him!
I believe more complete disclosure on this topic is timely, thus, the following:
MJ-12 originally included Secretary of the Navy, then Secretary of Defense James Forrestal, who was on record as wanting full disclosure of all things UFO to the public. Forrestal had been a mentor to Navy man and Senator JFK. Committee Chair, MJ-1 AWD, was adamantly against Forrestal's viewpoint. Not long after, the 57-year old Forrestal entered psychiatric treatment for "depression" at Bethesda Naval Hospital (BNH, now Walter Reed) in 1949 after notably having been "hectored [] with innuendos and false [media] accusations." He was said to have "leapt" to his death from the 16th floor of the National Naval Medical Center (BNH).
JFK's memo upper left to John A. McCone, JFK's conservative Republican choice to head the CIA after AWD departed, concerns UFO-related national security intel. "I have initiated .. and have instructed James Webb to develop a program with Soviet Union in joint, space and lunar exploration.".."I would like you to arrange a program of data sharingwith NASA...no later than February 1, 1964."
AWD's response (upper right): "LANCER [USSS codename for JFK--think Camelot] has made some inquiries regarding our [MJ-12] activities which we cannot allow. .. Your action to this matter is critical to the continuance of the group" [MJ-12].
At lower right, a MJ-12 memo reads, "When conditions become nonproductive for growth in our environment and Washington cannot be influenced any further, the weather is lacking any precipitation...it should be wet." (emphasis mine).
The only reasonable understanding, IMHO, is that the "long gone," as you say (retired 11/29/61 from Director of Central Intelligence), AWD as MJ-1, took it upon himself use his enduring influence to task part of the Agency to the wetwork of JFK's assassination.
One suggestion for you: Occam’s Razor.
Yes, and what's the simplest and most likely reason the CIA put out that memo in 1967 to have their folks use "conspiracy theorist" as a cudgel against WE THE PEOPLE?
Because it would provide cover for what the gubmint types conspire to do ALL THE TIME!
It's never a nutcase, lone gunman like LHO.
Consider the Bobby Kennedy autopsy.

The idea that conspiracy theory was an unknown quantity until 1967 is itself conspiracy nuttism. It’s been a known feature of paranoids since they were burning witches.
Savvy readers will realize that I did not make the claim you’re trying to shoot down.
Criminal conspiracies have indeed been against the law for well over a hundred years.
However, in response to the uncomfotable traction that critics were garnering toward Intel agency involvement in the years following the JFK assassination, the CIA redefined conspiracy theory as if, ipso facto, claimers of a conspiracy were themselves nutty.
As ever, however, criminal conspiracies are still against the law, despite the CIA’s attempt to redefine the term.
