I think this was Hunt's cover story.

The tramps' arrest records and interviews were obtained by Mary La Fontaine, who is not a supporter of the Warren Commission (see her book Oswald Talked: The New Evidence in the JFK Assassination); I don't see why she would help build a cover story for Hunt. I find it more likely that Hunt's original accusers fingered him because the left regarded him as a villain after Watergate. There are other people I think are better suspects than Hunt.

BTW while I was typing this, the disc I ordered with Kerry's files just arrived in the mail :-)

I just noticed you were responding to #83; when I typed my reply I was assuming you were replying to #95, so I may have misread you. You're suggesting that what Hunt is quoted as saying in #83 was his cover story? That's possible. I'd really need to review more of the case from the transcripts and testimony to decide on that--would want to see what the other burglars testifed about it and what the White House discussed about it.
