Deep Throat: Hero or Traitor?

[a6m5]

And you believe it ? Figures ... 💡 The guy is as old as the hills and wanted to get the story out before he dies...no book deal ...just bull deal.

It's true, I haven't heard it from any other sources, but you don't think it's accurate? I don't know why they'd make something like that up.

Phew... I thought this thread was about something else...

Felt's daughter Joan has admitted the family wanted her father to get recognition for his role in the Watergate saga and to provide income for the college educations of children in the family.

PublicAffairs and Universal Pictures reportedly have a $1 million agreement for the book and a movie.

Dude thats the family trying to cash in on what he did. Do you not see the difference ? He's an old dude on his last legs. You said : "that Mark Felt is now a millionare. He signed a book contract, and there's also a ongoing talk of Tom Hanks produced movie ..."
So now you tell me how MARK FELT and his family members become the same person.
Again Its all bullchips ...he was an historical figure now the family wants to cash in on his percieved fame ...He kept out of the media for what 40 years ? he could have been rich and actually enjoyed the money when he was younger..that may actually have ment something...but now ? Whats the point !

I don't think it was 100% about the money, and I also agree that he could've come out long time ago. I'm just saying, that he was going to get paid by coming out, and Felt and his family were counting on it. Felt was pressured by his family IMO, but ultimately, I believe it was his decision.

...and all of that still doesn't make him a hero.

For what he did, he was a hero. I bet if he came clean flat out to the public back then, he would have been asssasinated by CREEP

I don't like snitches nor the people who rally behind them.

In that case I'll be ralling behind them because it's these kind of people that keep this world decent and honest, especially these days.

I don't know where I stand on this, I just think it's HiLARIOUS that this was the chosen name...
