You were right yesterday in suggesting we wait a day on forming our opinions. Liberal family members may be looking to cash in, and MF not in great mental condition but what he did holds up for me as bringing to justice a band of law breakers and coveruppers in the WH who used govt agencies for their own benefit thus having them lose their independence. mike

I agree with you that there are protocols to follow for this sort of thing--under normal circumstances, but if every avenue called for by the protocol is in on it, well, that calls for independent thinking. You focused on the second 1/2 of my original answer. Felt had options. "He could have gone to any one of a number of congressional committees. And, of course, he was obligated to go to his boss, the head of the FBI, which apparently he did not do." If Felt believed his chain of command would be ineffective due to involvement or any other reason, he had the first option, listed above. Yet another option was available. FBI agents have ready access to federal judges. Felt knew the system and the protections it afforded. It was his choice to become subversive and seditious. I believe this is a clear case and should be referred to a federal grand jury without delay. That may be happening.
