Ep. 14: Michael Stevens, Bug Fabricator

On the night of May 16-17, 1973, Bob Woodward had his most
dramatic encounter with his normally cool source Deep Throat.
  Agitated, hurried, he warned the reporter that “Everyone’s
life is in danger!” The dramatic scene is featured in the movie
and book, All the President's Men, but never reported by the
Washington Post.  In the book, the reporters noted that
nothing ever came of these terrifying warnings. Is this true? And
what does this have to do with Michael Stevens, the Chicago bug
fabricator from whom James McCord purchased bugs?  Is
Stevens connected in any way with the death of Dorothy Hunt? How
so? And do the bugs McCord still had on order with  Stevens
at the time of the arrests tell us anything about possible
involvement of the CIA? Why hasn’t Michael Stevens and his role
been widely known? Discussion of this evidence will help us solve
several interrelated Mysteries of Watergate.
