"Thompson was a mole for the [Nixon] White House,"
WASHINGTON -- The day before Senate Watergate Committee minority counsel Fred Thompson made the inquiry that launched him into the national spotlight -- asking an aide to President Nixon whether there was a White House taping system -- he telephoned Nixon's lawyer.
... "Thompson was a mole for the White House," Armstrong said in an interview. "Fred was working hammer and tong to defeat the investigation of finding out what happened to authorize Watergate and find out what the role of the president was." - Boston Globe
A snitch ... a mole - a person who would leak information to those he's investigating is a fairly low form of life.
Man, Fred Thompson has some serious ethical issues to answer to.
When's he going to get around to declaring so he can start explaining?
Just one more sleazy Republican running for the White House ...
Damn ... a mole, huh? I think he looks more like a basset hound ...
