King had a couple of advisors who had belonged to the CPUSA, which is what got the attention of JFK and his brother Robert. Hunter Pitts Odell was one, I don't recall the other name. The Kennedys were worried that the CPUSA was going to subvert King's movement, something that likely worried Johnson later when King spoke against the Vietnam war.

Their de facto treasurer (and conduit from the Soviets), Morris Childs, wasn't an FBI informant, he was an FBI mole. President Reagan awarded him the Medal of Freedom for his work.
The point the media is missing is the possibility that Watergate was nothing more than J. Edgar Hoover's posthumous revenge.
