Deep Throat relevation just 'Felt' right

Mark Felt never tried to become famous.
He never tried to host his own radio talk show (right Mr. Liddy?), or TV show on FOX, CNN or CBS (right, Col. North?) or ran for political office.
He did write a book about his memories of the FBI but denied being Deep Throat. He never cashed in on what could have been the biggest payday in American publishing history.
He tried to do the right thing and people like G. Gordon Liddy, who actively participated in a criminal act and subsequent coverup, have no standing to criticize him for 30-plus years of silence.
In failing health, it was sweet to see that it was Felt's family who wanted their father and patriarch to earn the proper credit for uncovering a conspiracy to circumvent the Constitution by a paranoid White House and staffers who mistook blind allegiance for loyalty.
Those born before 1970 might not have the full appreciation for how the country was divided. Literally, people thought the election was stolen (although Nixon had no chance of losing). But when all the facts became known, with the dirty tricks, Presidential disclosures of investigative interference and illegal money laundering to pay for the entire mess, the nation and its politics changed forever.
Gosh, everything that is scandalous ends in the word, "gate." Where do people think that came from?
Mark Felt was, and is, a hero. And he did it by keeping his mouth shut. Perhaps that was the bravest thing of all.
One final thought: Why does the current President of the U.S., when questioned today about Mr. Felt, says he has to "study" the situation before comment? Is every opinion today a result of staff study or can't a person with a small sense of history actually answer a question honestly? You'd think the President would know a little more about history than he lets on.
