W. Mark Felt illegally disclosed confidential information to the MSM pertaining to a federal investigation simply to try the Nixon administration in the court of public opinion. Felt was nothing more than an over zealous and disgruntled G-man with an axe to grind. The guy was passed over for the coveted position of FBI Director General and committed a criminal offense in order to exact his revenge.
What I find more disturbing is the fact that the MSM has literally been in a tizzy of perpetual orgasm today over the outing of what they perceive to be as one of their greatest heroes (next in prominence to Yasser Arafat and Fidel Castro, of course). This is very well perhaps one of the greatest examples of liberal MSM hypocrisy so far. Here is a guy that broke the law to bring down a Republican administration, betrayed the honor of the highest jurisdiction in American law enforcement and successfully avoided prosecution for his actions due to some ridiculous statute of limitation. No wonder the loony left is in love with this looser.
But have we forgotten how these same nincompoops in the MSM so loudly echoed the outrage from the Clinton administration on the leaking of Slick Willy?s sealed testimony in the Paula Jones lawsuit to the Washington Post back in 1998? The MSM went on the warpath! For days, even months after the leak, all we heard about was how it had to either come from the office of Independent Counsel Ken Starr or the Paula Jones legal team. ?How could anyone do such an evil thing to such an admired and esteemed individual as our sitting U.S. President?? ?Why, it?s criminal! It?s reprehensible! It?s enigmatic!? ?The sex crazed Council Ken Starr must pay!? ?Boil him in oil!? ?Feed him to the lions!? ?Sue him!? Yet, for the past 30+ years, the MSM has lauded the ?heroic? actions of an individual whom Woodward and Bernstein nicknamed ?Deep Throat,? a man who ?risked everything to let this horror story of Republican corruption be told.?
IMO, Nixon was an idiot for trying to cover up for the misdeeds of those who served in his administration. Just like BJ Clinton, Nixon?s failure to be straightforward with the American people cost him his public credibility. With that said, Richard M. Nixon never committed nor was indicted for any crime and never had to suffer the humiliation of congressional impeachment - unlike another president who was cold busted for committing perjury during his sworn testimony before a federal grand jury.
