"Deep Throat" has identity

Mystery revealed from Watergate Scandal! Recently, and with much due media excitement the ambiguous informant known as Deep Throat was reveled. His identity is that of W. Mark Felt, the former FBI official
Much of the allure of the Nixon Herrings was due to on unsolved character infamously named “Deep Throat.” He met with two reporters and informed them of what was happening. These articles attracted the attention of the nation and perpetuated the scandal that went all the way the White House.
Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, two reporters for The Washington Post, pursued the story immediately after a break-in to steal and sabotage Democratic Party secrets during the presidential race. The two reporters filed groundbreaking stories on Watergate and were aided by a source known as "Deep Throat". The reporters' work eventually won the Post the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service and ensured their place in journalism history.
The scandal began during the run-up to that year's presidential election, when Democratic Sen. George McGovern was running against Nixon. Five men were arrested at DNC's headquarters at the Watergate office-hotel-apartment complex in Washington.The men were at DNC headquarters to photograph key documents and replace eavesdropping equipment installed during a previous break-in.
A Watergate security guard, Frank Wills, discovered them and called the police, who arrested the five men at gunpoint in the DNC offices.The burglars were found to be part of the "plumbers," a White House unit set up to investigate information leaks in the presidency of sensitive information because of Nixon’s strong paranoia from the release of the Pentagon Papers.
One of the burglars, retired CIA employee James McCord, was employed by the Committee to Re-elect the President as a security consultant.As the scandal progressed, many Nixon administration officials linked to the break-in and cover-up were convicted of charges relating to Watergate.The list included John Mitchell, Nixon's onetime campaign chairman and former attorney general; former White House chief of staff H.R. Haldeman; John Dean, Nixon's White House counsel; and John Ehrlichman, Nixon's domestic policy adviser.
Then on July 13, 1973, a White House aide named Alexander Butterfield told the Senate committee's staff members about the taping system that recorded Nixon's Oval Office conversations. Three days later, the revelation became public in a televised hearing.
The ensuing uproar only increased demands in Congress that Nixon be impeached. Nixon replaced Cox with Texas attorney Leon Jaworski and agreed to release some of the subpoenaed tapes.
But on July 24, 1974 -- 25 months after the break-in -- the Supreme Court unanimously ruled the White House must turn over more audiotapes. Three days later, the House Judiciary Committee passed the first of three articles of impeachment.
Nixon then released the tapes six days later. On one tape was the so-called "smoking gun," showing that six days after the break-in Nixon had tried to use the CIA to block the FBI investigation of the burglary.The tape connected Nixon directly to the burglary, a fact he had long denied, including his famous quote, "I am not a crook." The minimal support Nixon had in Congress disappeared.
On August 8, he announced his resignation, effective at noon the next day, without admitting any guilt.
"Always remember, others may hate you, but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them, and then you destroy yourself," he said in his farewell address to the White House staff on August 9.
