he was the "anonymous source" that brought down the Nixon presidency, with the whole Watergate Scandal

As the bureau's second- and third-ranking official during a period when the FBI was battling for its independence against the administration of President Richard M. Nixon, Felt had the means and the motive to help uncover the web of internal spies, secret surveillance, dirty tricks and coverups that led to Nixon's unprecedented resignation on Aug. 9, 1974, and to prison sentences for some of Nixon's highest-ranking aides.

Woodward's source became such a key part of the discussions among the Post brass that then-Managing Editor Howard Simons decided he needed a nickname. "Deep Throat" was a blend of the rules of engagement Felt had with Woodward -- "deep background" -- and the title of a notorious pornographic movie.

Interesting. He was confused whether what he did was right because he helped expose Nixon's notorious activities, or wrong because he betrayed his President and leaked info which is no-no for agents like him. Talk about being loyal!
