Deep Throat had a Deep History...



On
Jan. 20, 1958, Salt Lake Bureau Chief, Mark Felt posed for an FBI publicity
shot.



W. Mark Felt was one of the architects of
the bureau's notorious COINTELPRO domestic spying-and-burglary campaign.


He was convicted in
1980 of authorizing nine illegal entries in New Jersey in 1972 and 1973 -- the
very period during which he was famously meeting Bob Woodward in a parking
garage. Only a pardon, courtesy of Ronald Reagan, kept him out of jail for a
long term.




Sounds like he did the same thing the Watergate Plumbers went to jail
for!!
