"There's a report," Hunt broke in, "that Castro's been getting money to the Democrats. The idea is to photograph the list of contributors the Democrats are required to keep. Once we have those lists, we can have them checked to determine whether the contributors are bona fide or merely fronts for Castro or Hanoi money". . .Robert Maheu, who had been the CIA's go-between for [LA mob boss Johnny] Rosselli and [Florida mob boss Santos] Trafficante [contracted by the CIA to kill Castro but later suspected of being a double-agent for Castro], was a close friend of Democratic National Committee chairman Lawrence O'Brian [a Kennedy associate]. The Cuban security service must have good evidence of attempts against their leader's life, and Castro himself would probably do all he could to help the progressive McGovern, including pass evidence of anti-Castro plots undertaken on Nixon's watch. . .As burglar Frank Sturgis later explained, "One of the things we were looking for in the Democratic National Committee's files, and in some other Washington file cabinets, too, was a thick secret memorandum from the Castro government addressed confidentially to the Democrats' platform committee. The Cubans were providing an itemized list of all the [CIA] abuses. The complaints were especially bitter about various attempts to assassinate the Castro brothers.
I have never seen this information before. I have been reading the FBI reports on VVAW and they were getting money from a communist party of a country in Europe, the Communist Party of America, and from dealing drugs. Also VVAW was getting directions from the NV Government.
I think this was Hunt's cover story.
