Ирония судьбы Марка Фелта

[borislvin]

"The family believes that my grandfather, Mark Felt Sr., is a great American hero who went well above and beyond the call of duty at much risk to himself to save his country from a horrible injustice," Felt's grandson, Nick Jones, said, reading a family statement.
<...>
The scandal that brought Nixon's resignation began with a burglary and attempted tapping of phones in Democratic Party offices at the Watergate office building in Washington during Nixon's 1972 re-election campaign.
<...>
Felt was convicted in 1980 for authorizing illegal break-ins in the 1970s at homes of people associated with the radical Weather Underground. He was pardoned by President Reagan in 1981.

Sweet!!! I had no idea it was him who f-d up the Weather Underground case. Largely due to the FBI's illegal break-ins, most of them walked instead of doing time :)

Well, he was a professional, was setting flower pots in windows (was it before or after Shtirlitz, BTW ?) and all that stuff.

Some believe Felt is a hero. Others a villain. What do you think?

Трудно сказать.

Вроде как одним из главных подозреваемых был Буш старший, так что, возможно, сын как-то постарался.

Если он так горд, то что ему мешало раскрыться после выхода не пенсию и пожинать славу?

У Новака большая злобная статья в WashPost на эту тему

По передергиваниям Новак приближается к российским деятелям/
