Seamus, your clip shows Nixon's vulnerability to Helms. It's suggested Helms placed Hunt with Nixon's team to sabotage the president. McCord, Hunt, Sturgisdown goes the champ, down goes the champ.
In Breach of Trust, Gerald McKnight places Helms setting Joannides over the Cuban Student Directorate. What Eddie Lopez could tell us about Joannides that CIA to this day will not allow.
Michael Calder says Helms assumed virtual control of CIA after JFK fired Dulles, Bissell, Cabell, while McCone was the titular head, kept in the dark; that after LBJ's appointment as DCI in 1966, Helms killed the witnesses to the JFK hituntil he was sent to Iran to play with his friend the Shah.
And is there an Iran link to Sirhan in Khan:
Khan was from Iran, not Turkey, and had been living in New York before he came to Los Angeles. He filled out over 20 volunteer cards (present in the SUS files) with names of "friends", always using his own address as their contact information. For this, and a more sinister reason, Isackson was not the only one suspicious of Khan. Several campaign workers said they had seen him with Sirhan.
Eleanor Severson was a campaign worker for RFK. She told the LAPD that on May 30, 1968, a man named Khaibar Khan came into Headquarters to register for campaign work. Khan claimed to have come to California from back East to help the campaign. From that day, Khan came into Headquarters every day until the election. The Sunday before the election, June 2, he brought four other foreigners (of Middle Eastern extraction) in to work as volunteers. Severson and her husband both said that Sirhan was one of these men. She remembered this group in particular because while she was registering the men, Kennedy's election day itinerary was taken from her desk. Her husband thought Sirhan may have taken it. Severson reported seeing Sirhan again early in the afternoon of June 3, standing near the coffee machine.
Larry Strick, another Kennedy worker, confirmed this account. He said he had spoken to Sirhan in the company of Khan. When Sirhan's picture was finally shown on TV, he and Mrs. Severson called each other nearly at the same instant to talk about the fact that this was the man they both remembered from Headquarters. Strick positively ID'd Sirhan from photos as the same man he had seen on June 2nd to both the LAPD and the FBI in the days immediately following the assassination.

Odd about Waterston who seems weak though Helms strikes that feeble understated mienhe voted for Goldwater having been outraged by LBJ's Daisy commerciala bit of the Bill Moyers projection, Goldwater might do what LBJ and the generals had demanded two Octobers prior.
The takeaway is Helm's seeming civility makes his cunning treason plausibly deniable.
Helms on seizing the will (perhaps thinking of his urging on Lodge in the Diem coup):
