The Smoking Gun Tape June 23, 1972:::::

NIXON: When you get these people in, say: "Look, the problem is that this will open the whole, the whole Bay of Pigs thing, and the President just feels that" ah, without going into the details... don't, don't lie to them to the extent to say there is no involvement, but just say this is sort of a comedy of errors, bizarre, without getting into it, "the President believes that it is going to open the whole Bay of Pigs thing up again." ---

That's when Nixon tried to blackmail the CIA. It was interesting as to what he was trying to blackmail them with as some think the "Bay of Pigs" reference was to a planned assassination of Castro that "backfired" and resulted in the assassination of JFK.
