Deep Throat Find Deep Throat!

With a well-earned scoop, The Nation has unearthed a series of confidential documents showing that at the height of Watergate the FBI entrusted the search for Deep Throat to none other than W. Mark Felt. As David Corn and Jeff Goldberg write, “In a twist worthy of le Carré, Deep Throat was assigned the mission of unearthing–and stopping–Deep Throat.”

“He was essentially in charge of investigating himself. From this vantage point Felt, who had developed espionage skills running FBI counterintelligence operations against German spies in World War II, was able to watch his own back and protect his ability to guide the two reporters whose exposés would help topple the President he served,” they continue.
 
Good heavens. The fox in the henhouse story coming true. Unbelievable. This certainly demonstrates this man had ZERO ethics or morals. He should have come clean (although it may have been near impossible) at the time.

Him and Michael Moore. :whacky:
 
In the Watergate myth, two intrepid young reporters – guided by a conscientious whistleblower sickened at the scent of fascism he has found at the center of power, and backed up by a courageous and crusty editor – bring down the most dangerous tyrant in U.S. history.

It is the Great Myth of American journalism.

Now, thanks to Mark Felt’s family wanting to get the old boy some publicity and themselves some of Woodward’s stash, the Great Myth has been demolished.

Geez and I fell for it hook, line and sinker. I am glad the truth has come out. Poor old Nixon might be seen in a new light.

Deep Throat has a book deal and a movie deal, and he could end up being played by Tom Hanks.
The family of 91-year-old W. Mark Felt, who revealed his role as The Washington Post’s key Watergate source two weeks ago, has chosen PublicAffairs Books to publish a combination of autobiography and biography, publisher and CEO Peter Osnos said last night. Osnos said that Universal Pictures has optioned Felt’s life story and the book for a movie to be developed by Hanks’s production company, Playtone.

He said the book will blend Felt’s own writing about his life, including his out-of-print 1979 memoir, “The FBI Pyramid: From the Inside,” and some unpublished material, with contributions from Felt’s family and from lawyer John D. O’Connor, who has been advising the Felts. O’Connor wrote the Vanity Fair article that named Felt as Deep Throat after the secret had been kept for 33 years.

The additional material from Felt, Osnos said, includes discussion of how he decided to provide guidance to Post reporter Bob Woodward, and why.

The book is to be published next spring. Its working title is "A G-Man’s Life: The FBI, Being ‘Deep Throat’ and the Struggle for Honor in Washington…

I’m waiting for Felt’s ties to Jack Ruby to come out.

He’s creepy enough to have been involved. All his actions did help the New Left (as JFK’s and RFK’s assassinations did).
