Interesting Face the Nation about Deep Throat

[question everything]

With Bradlee, John Dean and an author Jim Mann (not sure) who fingered Felt some years back.

They all concluded that Felt needed helpers: to observe the flower pot on Woodard's balcony and to circle page 20 of his NYT.

But they probably were young "grunts" who just did what were told and never realized that they were part of Watergate. And perhaps never read "All the President's Men" to make the connection.

Also, Dean said that Felt left in the summer of 1973 (I did not know that, did he leave the FBI?) and yet some crucial information was published in October 1973.

Again, I disagree with him that the ones working with Felt knew that they worked with Deep Throat. They could have been just young newly recruit who were the runners.

In the CBS program he repeated the example that Baker did not meet with him but someone - could have been Schieffer said that, no doubt, Baker was talking to the White House.
