Ep. 13: James McCord, Cipher

While most Watergate histories do not focus on James McCord,
except for his dramatic letter to Judge Sirica at sentencing,
this enigmatic, “retired“ CIA agent is an important character for
those who wish to deeply understand the scandal.  In fact,
it is his superficial inscrutability that should have led
analysts to use him as a Rosetta Stone to unravel several
significant curiosities.  In this episode, close scrutiny of
McCord will resolve some issues earlier raised, while yielding
answers which lead to yet deeper questions.  James McCord is
indeed a cipher, but one who, with patience, helps us to unlock
The Mysteries of Watergate.
