Mark Felt -- the man who was The Washington Post's secret source during the Watergate scandal -- has died at age 95. Lest we forget ...
Felt, who retired from the FBI in 1973, had his own legal problems. He was convicted in 1980 on conspiracy charges for authorizing government agents to break into homes without search warrants in a hunt for bombing suspects in 1972 and 1973.
Guess who testified on Felt's behalf when he went to court? More here from the NYT.
Hat Tip: Many thanks, JUNGLE JIM and Keith G in PV!
