Bradlee bumped into James Angleton in Meyer’s house looking for the diary and let him graciously have it.
Yes, and Mr. Bradlee said nothing about the diary to authorities, even under oath, which tells you about what kind of a guy he was. The light of Watergate had no morals or ethics when it came to protecting the reputation of JFK while a poor homeless black man stood trial and the possibility of a death sentence for a crime he didn’t commit. Look at his “newspaper” today - has much really changed?? I’m always suspicious of murders in an espionage capital like Washington when nothing is taken of value from the victim; otherwise, what was the purpose of the murder?
