JFK abandoned the CIA and a whole lot of Cuban exiles at The Bay of Pigs. They had a score to settle.
“JFK abandoned the CIA and a whole lot of Cuban exiles at The Bay of Pigs. They had a score to settle.”
I’ve always wondered about Nixon’s comment right before the 7+ minute gap in the Watergate Tapes. Talking about covering things or “it could bring up the whole Cuban thing”, and wondered if that was about the assassination.
Cubans used in the Watergate break in had been associated with the Bay of Pigs. And with Hunt involved (and IIRC was rummured to be one of the “tramps” in Dallas.)
And not that Nixon had anything to do with JFK’s assassination, but just protecting the “powers that be” and keeping things secret. Just like Nixon’s attempts at keeping “The Pentagon Papers” a secret. Those were done under Johnson, and if anything Nixon could have used them to show how inept Johnson had been.
I still believe that it was LBJ and J. Edgar Hoover....at the top.
