Is Deep Throat really John Dean?

Sunday, September 9, 2018

Everybody these days appears to be trying to make connections between Watergate and the alleged Russian conclusion case Democrats are trying to pin Trump with.

some of the key elements in this election do match up with Watergate but not in the way Democrats would want them – especially in the myth making mode that would reshape ethically challenged Mueller and Comey into American saints.

Democrats desperately need Mueller and Comey to make their case against Trump. So, Democrats have gone off the deep end defending the FBI to sidestep questions as to whether Obama-appointed members of the intelligence community have taken an active role in trying to overthrow a legitimately elected president, in order to help Democrats, regain power.

Democrats have gone so far over the top as to make the FBI seems saintly and divorced from political things when in fact the FBI then and now was totally corrupted by the politics of the time.

There are distinct similarities between Watergate and Russian-gate (for a better name). During both times, there was a leadership change in the FBI.

Nixon, however, didn't have to fire the FBI director the way Trump was forced to do with Comey. J Edgar Hoover conveniently died in time for Nixon to appoint replacement.

But then as now, politics played a significant role in the transition, and in the plot to unseat the president.

Watergate investigators Woodward and Bernstein would not have gotten nearly as far had not the deputy director been bitter at Nixon's choice to replace Hoover and began a campaign to get even with Nixon for the slight by supplying Woodward with clues on how to bring down the Nixon Administration.

At the same time, Dean was feeding Watergate information to Gray, the man Nixon had nominated to replace Hoover – information that detailed the coverup Dean allegedly orchestrated but was already coming to pieces around him. Under increasing attacks by Democrats – orchestrated some believe by Ted Kennedy, Nixon was forced to withdraw Gray’s name. At some point, Dean and Gray burned some evidence of the Watergate coverup in Gray’s fire place. Dean meanwhile prepared his own parachute, hiring legal counsel who had connections to those attorneys representing the legislative committee investigating Watergate. Dean clearly had already made plans to jump ship and save himself by throwing Nixon to the sharks.

Dean’s ability to broken information inside the FBI raises some serious questions as to who really fed information to Woodward – and whether or not Woodward and Dean appearing in public against Trump this month is something more than just a coincidence.

While it makes perfect sense that an imbittered deputy FBI director passed over for promotion would conspire to bring down Nixon out of revenge by feeding Woodward information, it is also possible that someone – such as Dean -- might have also given this deputy director inside information as well.

Was Dean the real voice behind deepthroat what kind of chain letter in which Dean was able to use The Washington Post against Nixon the way Steven Bannon fed leaks to the Post against his rivals in the Trump White House?

This purely speculation and depends a lot on what point in time Dean decided in his heart of hearts to betray Nixon. If he planned to jump to the other side early enough, ingratiating himself with the Washington Post would have been very helpful – although this would mean that Woodward would have to have known Dean was the source, and would also mean that perhaps the deputy director was a smoke screen for Dean the whole time.

Just a thought.

Yet, the behind the scenes manipulation of the FBI in the early 1970s, reflects too much the antics that we see today with an ethically-challenged special prosecutor – Mueller – and his close association even friendship with Comey, the FBI director Trump was forced to fire.

Clear conflicts of interest in Mueller's investigation clearly show a bias against Trump and a willingness to abuse the powers of the FBI just the way Democrats and media did during the Watergate investigation against Nixon.

The recent use of unnamed sources to imply that there's a radical resistance inside the Trump Administration tends to echo the suspicion that there are Dean like characters leaking information the way Dean might have through deepthroat to Woodward and that there are now Dean like characters in The White House scheming the way Dean did too provide a soft landing for themselves if and when the Democrats finally managed to bring down Trump.

Many of these people are likely holdovers from the Obama Administration which stacked the state department with loads of biased Democratic loyalists who become a kind of perverted resistance movement inside the government.

Unlike the lazy Washington Post that relied on Steve Bannon for most of its unnamed sources in the past, the equally biased New York Times seems to have tapped into this resistance movement but with the same purpose of undermining Trump or at least influence the hearings on the supreme court nominee underway or even the outcome of the 2018 mid-term elections on the behalf of the Democrats.
