I always wondered why the CIA would be involved in the DNC Berglary at the Watergate Headquarters.I may have an answer for that . . .
James McCord of the Watergate burglars and CREEP (Committee for the Reelection of the President) testified before the Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities on May 18, 1973 and was asked by Senator Daniel Inouye (D-HI) why the break-in was conducted. McCord replied, "Democratic national headquarters staff members" were "working closely with violence groups"… "which involved violence and demonstrations against our committee". When Senators Inouye, Lowell Weicker (R-CT), Ed Gurney (R-FL), and Howard Baker (R-TN) asked for more detail, in each case McCord repeated the "violence" reference but specifically – and only -- named the "Vietnam Veterans Against the War", accusing them as "a violence-oriented group" (Hearing pages 180, 200, 201, 223-24 and elsewhere, May 18 and 22 testimony).

Violence.
And not the smash-a-chair-through-the-Starbuck's-window violence.
The machine-gun-nests-at-every-building-on-the-Capitol-Mall kind of violence.

Doesn't it seem odd that Felt was convicted of bugging the offices and homes of Anti-war activists, and James McCord testified under oath that burglarized and bugged the DNC Headquarters at the Watergate Hotel because some of the staffers at the DNC had connections to members of VVAW
This leaves me wondering if Felt was involved in planning the break in !!!

Were the tapes from the wiretap that Felt did, ever released???
And if not .. are they still available?
