Robert A. George, who perhaps in this context especially I should identify as being from the ‘saving remnant’ wing of the Republican party, has a post this morning in the Huffington Post about Mark Felt, Deep Throat and, of all people, Ken Duberstein. Take a look.
Among other things, he has a quote from Duberstein which puts the whole ‘Felt should have told the president’ nonsense in some proper context: “He couldn’t go to the White House Chief of Staff (Haldeman or Ehrlichman); he couldn’t go to the Justice Department (John Mitchell); he couldn’t go to the White House Counsel (John Dean). He did something responsible. The congressional committees hadn’t been formed yet. What do you do? Felt put America first.”
