John D. O’Connor was the attorney who revealed FBI Deputy Associate Director Mark Felt’s identity as Watergate’s Deep Throat, the source for the Woodward and Bernstein investigations that blew its lid off. Today O’Connor writes in The Daily Caller describing how James Comey, as FBI Director, avoided making the Watergate mistakes as he led a politically motivated investigation into the Trump presidential campaign.
Along the way, O’Connor makes the point that Watergate’s Mark Felt was the FBI straight arrow that Comey should have been, but wasn’t. Comey staffed the upper reaches of the FBI with Democrat partisans (McCabe, Strzok, Page, Ohr, etc.) who went along with his attempt to smear candidate Trump with manufactured evidence of Russian collusion.
As Mark Tapscott, guest blogging at Instapundit, observes, “If you read nothing else today, this is the one with which to sit down and spend some quality time.” COTTonLINE wholeheartedly agrees.
