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 !!!

I was just following along the initial line of thought and found something which should have been obvious:

The investigation of the VVAW by the FBI began in 1964 (under Johnson) - several names are listed in the "distribution" of these investigative documents. In hindsight, the name Felt glares out.

He was intimately familiar with the investigations of the VVAW from 1967 onward. His division (DID Domestic Intelligence) was responsible for the entire investigation.

The VVAW, with all of it's connections to the Weatherman, SDS, CP, the North Vietnamese - AND -

In 1972, just after the famous November 1971 meetings in Kansas City, dramatically escalated protest actions almost everywhere (including "occupying" the UN), and credible reports that the VVAW was arming itself -

Which quasi-former national leader of the VVAW, with strong ties to the upper echelons of the DNC, should announce his candidacy for the House of Represenatives?

Is it possible that McCord was telling the truth? That there was genuine "concern" that the DNC & the VVAW (& Co.) were working hand in hand? That a Senior FBI Official, disgruntled that he was passed over for a position he "felt" rightfully belonged to him and, possessing FULL knowledge of the scope of the domestic counterintelligence effort and the "current" administrations involvement in those investigations, decided to "tell all" to a well placed, sympathetic reporter he had recruited years earlier?

What OTHER information did Felt reveal about these investigations - information which ultimately led to the draconian impairment of the intelligence agencies?

Digging deeper . . .

Which political family would have topped RMN's "hate list"?
Which political family began a political association with a future leader of the VVAW as early as 1962?
Which political family received DIRECT support from the VVAW in 1968 (i.e. it's leaders left to work for the campaign)?
Which political family received DIRECT support from a future national leader of the VVAW in October 1969 (i.e. the future leader flew thier speach writer to anti-war protests - WHILE STILL AN ACTIVE COMMISSIONED OFFICER IN THE US NAVY?
