2/If so, it would be McMahon (Moynihan?) that urged Bennett to hire Hunt at Mullen & Co. Were Sandy Smith's enquiries on subject of who hired Hunt shut down by TIME and Agency after this memo?
3/The memo indicates that @washingtonpost had already done so, contrary to myth of dogged persistence by @realBobWoodward and @carlbernstein Is Smith eased out as TIME's correspondent on Watergate around this time? Image
4/ Was TIME CIA Adjunct?

1/I have always thought it should be possible to identify Deep Throat simply by entering all the information about him in All the President's Men into a computer, and then entering as much as possible about all the various suspects.
2/For instance, who was not in Washington on the days that Woodward reported putting the red-flagged flower pot on his window sill, signaling Deep Throat for a meeting.

describes hostage W Buckley, longtime (and already outed) CIA agent. Under torture he revealed secrets so sensitive the Iranian regime could blackmail the US, demanding outrageous things of our government. Now, what was it that he knew that was worth all that?

What about Virginia McMahon, codebreaker at Arlington Hall? Wife of William J. Cotter, married -- curiously enough -- Sept. '49? Spousal immunity?
