How Mark Felt and Leon Jaworski Helped the Commies

I don't believe FBI Associate Director Mark Felt  and  Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski  deliberately set out to give "aid and comfort" to America's communist enemies, but they couldn't have done more to help the Soviet bloc countries if they had been leaders of American communists.   Their misuse of their  positions to undermine President Richard Nixon weakened the presidency and thus the ability of the United States to compete with the Soviet Bloc.

They took advantage of a botched CIA "black bag" operation to destroy Richard Nixon in spite of the fact that the United States was leading democratic nations in a long term conflict with an alliance of communist dictatorships.   The burglary fit a pattern of CIA/FBI operations later investigated by  Frank Church's Senate Committee.  Len Colodny and Robert Gettlin in their book Silent Coup state that someone convinced  White House Counsel John Dean he should have CIA personnel investigate a claim about an acquaintance of his by breaking into the Democratic party headuarters.  

The details about Watergate are not important.  What is important is that it was oneof many operations carried out by government agecies that included the bugging of Dr Martin Luther King .    The misuse of the incident to force Nixon out of office was a disaster for the United States that created opportunities for the Soviet Union and its allies   The Democratic Republic of Vietnam took advantage of the weakened United States  presidency to launch an invasion of South Vietnam that one or two B-52 raids could have ended.   The weakness of the United States  allowed Iranian students to take over the American embassy and the Soviet Union to invade Afghanistan.

The strength of the United States depends upon the strength of its president.    Leon Jaworski's over throw of Nixon was a disaster for the United States in domestic policy as well as in foreign policy. The country had economic troubles for a decade after the overthrow of  the Nixon administration.

Is Robert Mueller Doing What President Putin Wants Done?

Is Robert Mueller Doing What President Putin Wants Done?

I've never given any serious consideration to the ridiculous claim that Russian President Vladimir Putin coordinated actions with Donald Trump's organization to help Trump win the election.    The scenario that proponents of this fantasy describe sounds too much like a possible plot for a Leslie Nielsen or Don Adams comedy spy movie.

Putin was with the KGB.   There is no way he would have conducted such an amateurish operation if he had wanted to help Donald Trump win.  He would not have had anyone who could have been   identified as being associated with the Russian government contact  the Trump campaign to coordinate activities.

I doubt that Putin would  have wanted a strong willed leader like Trump running the United State.     However, Putin might have had Russians contact members of Trump's organization in the hopes stupid Americans would misinterpret the actions as involving Russian assistance to Trump and then possibly try to oust Trump.    

Putin is likely aware of how much the assault on President Richard Nixon benefited the old Soviet Union.  The removal of Nixon weakened the United States and created opportunities for the Soviet Union and its allies.   North Vietnam invaded South Vietnam and the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan.    Iraniian students overthrew the U.S. backed Shah of Iran and invaded the American embassy  The Soviet Union then was able to develop a relationship with the former U. S. ally.  

If what Putin would likely call the "American secret police"   overthrows Trump,  Putin could claim the action means the United States presidential elections are a farce   He would say if Americans don't vote or someone the secret police approve of the secret police will remove him."
