I could never trust a man who goes by the initial of his first name, middle name and then last name.
G. Gordon Liddy?
J Jonah Jameson?
J. Edgar Hoover
Kennedy assassination buffs felt the same way. Hunt was always a villain in their fantasies.
We don't know that. Did the DNC open it's books so people could investigate the allegation? No. We just have the DNC's word for it. And they are proven liars.
RIP Howard
"the Watergate break-in that led to the greatest scandal in American political history"
Stealing classified documents that possiblty show a CinC's malfeasance that lead to the deaths of thousands is hardly a scandal, I guess. Looking at Dems campaign strategies, now, WHOOO, that's a scandal.
at least the most penalized political scandal....
R. Lee Irmey?
you will probably be able to count the days before revelations about Hunt in Dallas start to come out....this cat was involved in the JFK hit
"J Jonah Jameson?"
lol, i never trust someone who has the same three initials. :)
I don't know if that's true, but Nixon was killing McGovern. There was no reason to resort to desperate measures.
BTW, weird, stupid, evil stuff always seems to have some link to Miami.
he was the main tattle-tell on G Gordon Liddy. He turned into a witness for the prosecution. Him, the FBI technical expert, and the 5 cubans. Only Liddy held his tongue on what happened - that is, until he was released and he wrote a tell-all book about it and made lots of money.
Ernest P. Worrell?
....wait, that don't fit the pattern, don't it, Vern?
HUNT BLAMES JFK HIT ON LBJ
January 14, 2007 -- E. HOWARD Hunt - the shadowy former CIA man who organized the Watergate break-in and was once eyed in the assassination of President Kennedy - bizarrely says that Lyndon Johnson could be seen as a prime suspect in the rubout.
Only the most far-out conspiracy theorists believe in scenarios like Hunt's. But in a new memoir, "American Spy: My Secret History in the CIA, Watergate & Beyond," due out in April, Hunt, 88, writes: "Having Kennedy liquidated, thus elevating himself to the presidency without having to work for it himself, could have been a very tempting and logical move on Johnson's part.
"LBJ had the money and the connections to manipulate the scenario in Dallas and is on record as having convinced JFK to make the appearance in the first place. He further tried unsuccessfully to engineer the passengers of each vehicle, trying to get his good buddy, Gov. [John] Connolly, to ride with him instead of in JFK's car - where . . . he would have been out of danger."
Hunt says Johnson also had easy access to CIA man William Harvey, who'd been demoted when he tried to have Fidel Castro poisoned in defiance of orders to drop covert operations against Cuba. Harvey was "a ruthless man who was not satisfied with his position in the CIA and its government salary," Hunt writes.
"He definitely had dreams of becoming [CIA director] and LBJ could do that for him if he were president . . . [LBJ] would have used Harvey because he was available and corrupt." Hunt denies any hand in the assassination, insisting he wasn't one of three mysterious hobos who were photographed at the scene.
On Watergate, Hunt says he saved G. Gordon Liddy from gagging on urine-tainted booze as they got ready to break into Democratic National Committee headquarters, telling him, "I know you like your scotch, but don't order it . . . Last night when we were hiding in the closet, I had to take a leak in the worst way, and when I couldn't bear it any longer, I found a fairly empty bottle of Johnnie Walker Red - and now let's just say it's quite full."
