...when he returned to the U.S., his associates in Dallas and New Orleans, and even his cousin can be traced to the CIA. Most crucially, Oswald travelled to Mexico City attempting to obtain a Cuban visa during precisely the two months in the summer of 1963 when Howard Hunt was CIA station chief there...
...Book Depository from which Kennedy was shot adjoins a railroad yard where three tramps were apprehended in an apparently locked boxcar just after the assassination. Photographs of these tramps, who were arrested, and then released on FBI orders, show that one of the tramps looks very much like Hunt, another like fellow Watergater Frank Sturgis, and the third like Oswald.

When Nixon tells Haldeman to pay Hunt a million dollars on the White House Tapes, he says he is most worried about the "Bay of Pigs thing" coming out. But as Richard Helms irately replied when asked to cover up the burglary as a CIA operation, there was nothing left to expose about the Bay of Pigs...
