And the CIA.
00:00:04.567 --> 00:00:05.977
And the CIA.
00:00:06.527 --> 00:00:09.481
If you're conducting
that kind of investigation...
00:00:09.613 --> 00:00:13.658
then certainly it comes as no surprise
to you that Howard was with the CIA.
00:00:13.743 --> 00:00:15.819
No, no surprise at all.
00:00:18.164 --> 00:00:20.489
Hunt worked for the CIA till 1970.
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:22.992
From '49 to '70.
Now, this is on deep background...
00:00:23.001 --> 00:00:25.541
but the FBI thinks
he's involved with the break-in.
00:00:25.629 --> 00:00:26.744
What else you got?
00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:28.333
According to White House personnel...
00:00:28.424 --> 00:00:30.666
Hunt definitely worked there
as a consultant for Colson.
00:00:30.076 --> 00:00:34.259
That's Charles Colson,
the President's Special Counsel.
00:00:34.347 --> 00:00:35.971
Did you call the White House Press Office?
00:00:36.002 --> 00:00:37.432
I went over there. I talked to them.
00:00:37.516 --> 00:00:40.002
They said Hunt hadn't worked there
for three months.
00:00:40.144 --> 00:00:42.813
Then a PR guy said this weird thing to me.
00:00:44.523 --> 00:00:46.931
He said, "I'm convinced
that neither Mr. Colson...
00:00:47.003 --> 00:00:48.485
"nor anyone at the White House...
00:00:48.569 --> 00:00:50.941
"had any knowledge of
or participation in...
00:00:51.001 --> 00:00:54.695
"this deplorable incident
at the Democratic National Committee."
00:00:55.326 --> 00:00:58.576
- Isn't that what you'd expect them to say?
- Absolutely.
