the legality of Felt's leaking classified NSA info to Woodward should be explored, shouldn't it?

Oh, heavens, how in the world could they indict Felt OR Woodward 30-something years later? The Nixon tapes show that Nixon knew it was Felt, and did nothing.

Besides which, the Watergate break-in was a horrible crime and abuse of power. If Nixon had been impeached, he would have been thrown out of office, which is why he resigned. He was a very intelligent man, he knew he didn't have the votes in Congress to ride it out.

The people who committed the break-in and the cover-up were prosecuted, and now we should prosecute the leakers? That is just ridiculous.
