Lol, listen to yourself... You are standing up for a President and his administration who, quite factually, attempted to manipulate the FBI /  Dept. of Justice to cover up their involvement in Watergate. We're talking about criminal obstruction of justice and a total abuse of power that was caught on tape, and you're totally cool with that.  Stuff that would never have seen the light of day had Mark Felt, and other sources (Felt wasn't the only one leaking information) not helped to reveal it. That no-good, POS leaker, Felt was revealing information to B&W, and other press agencies, because the acting director of the FBI at the time, a fellow placed there by Nixon, was deliberately suppressing and destroying evidence to protect the Nixon administration. What an unpatriotic bastard, amirite?
