@countZZero dunno' it was an interesting take. By 1972 lone gunmen had become passe'. If if undermining relationships with the USSR and China were the goal was it really achieved? McCord was supposedly expert in electronic surveillance. I forgot, who was the genius who taped then re-taped the door security found twice and reported?
@CanisPundit @countZZero lol. McCord.
But I doubt Angleton was behind it. The fallout seriously damaged the CIA
It isn’t James Angleton you should be thinking about here. He was bitter, paranoid, and alcoholic; a shambling figure in a threadbare jacket and thick glasses. People at CIA were afraid of him, not because of his power, they feared him because he was fucking crazy. And he knew (quite literally) where the bodies were buried. By the time Watergate rolled around he was merely an anachronism, gaunt and ghostly, feared by some, but basically marginalized.
