Ep. 25: Mullen and Company’s Covered Up Cover Contract

All five burglars were involved in the ill-fated CIA-planned
fiasco, the Bay of Pigs, and one supervisor, Howard Hunt, was a
leader in that abortive Cuban invasion.  Since at the time
of Watergate, he worked not only part-time at the White House but
also full-time at Mullen and Company, a D.C. public relations
firm with known CIA ties, an important issue for journalists to
examine would have been whether Hunt was an active CIA agent
working undercover during the Watergate burglary.  Do we
have proof that the Washington Post knew of Mullen and Company’s
role? And if it did, was that merely a minor failing in its
Pulitzer prize-winning work?  Or could this omission have
potentially world-changing effect?
