Ghost2520 Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 Went fairly in depth into the Watergate scandal back in government politics class and I saw this on a news headline this morning! Don't know if there are many people on this site though that would remember back into these days. Anyways the source was 2nd in command of the FBI!

MasterRex862 Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 WTF!?!? All I read was "Deep Throat Confirmed". That gave me a good laugh. I didnt know that; it seems interesting now though. I wonder how this guy is going to die now that he is a publicly known name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioActivated Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 Is this guy trying to be like one of the unknown caracters in MGS or what ? Can someone elaborate the story ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost2520 Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 In a nutshell, Nixon made a team of people called the Plumbers to break into a building and lay down some wire taps and steal some crap. The entire team got caught and Nixon was exposed, this was back in the seventies. There was someone on the inside who was called Deep Throat who was never caught and whos identity remained a mystery until now, 30 years later.

RadioActivated Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 He's pretty amazing though, to have never gotten caught in 30 years. Did he say how he even did it ? And is that him in the blue shirt ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost2520 Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 Yup that would be him in the blue shirt. Pretty amazing, and to think his own family didn't even know. What would you feel like if your grandpa all of a sudden came out of the closet and said he was "the man"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTSticky Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 Until Woodward and Bernstein agree that this *was* the guy, it's just some guy squawking as far as I'm concerned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost2520 Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 Why would someone who was 2nd in command at the FBI lie about something that could potentially get him in a wee bit of trouble? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioActivated Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 What was the building they where trying to tap ? And why were they doing that in the first place ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AYoKoNA Posted June 5, 2005 Posted June 5, 2005 What was the building they where trying to tap ? And why were they doing that in the first place ? 485138[/snapback] Nixon's Republican campaign officials went into the "Watergate Hotel" in an attempt to bug the room where Democrats were staying to steal campaign info. It was all to win an election. Nixon truly gave Republican's a bad name, and Republicans generally don't like talking about him. I guess you can say Nixon is the "Jimmy Carter" of Republicans. If you are really interested in the story look up the watergate scandal. And I am sure you have all read that Woodward has confirmed the identity.
