Watergate, why? Photos? Of whom???

[Peter Lemkin]

This is the first time I ever heard that Nixon was looking for some photo's, I seriously doubt that they were in the Watergate building. However, it makes some sense because Nixon did want all the documents on the Bay of Pigs from Richard Helms, but Helms flat out said, no you can't have them. The only photo's I'm aware of are the photos my father stole from the CIA headquarters in Miami prior to Watergate. A few books have been written on Watergate, and speculations as to who the sixth burglar was, I'll tell you that it was my father who was recruited by Frank Sturgis, Elias Chejet is the person who drove Frank to the airport on the first burglary, my mother drove my father where the two would met in Washington. My father didn't go back to Washington the second time when all five got arrested. As soon as Watergate broke and hit the Miami Herald my father took off to Haiti and stayed at Mike Mclaney's hotel until things cooled down, but it still didn't stop the FBI from investigating my father, no one knew this until now.

Haiti, eh?......seems that a Mr. G. deM also went to Haiti for a while. Can you go a step further in explaining your father's background such that Frank Fiorini would want to 'recruit' him. Thanks.

For a long time, those that didn't buy the 'official' Watergate story thought that someone wanted compromising photos related in some way to the BOP, Cuba, and/or Dallas that some Democrats might have had to embarrass or blackmail Nixon - or those around Nixon. It is less sure now. Seems to me that some wanted to destabilize Nixon and thus the Watergate purposely bungled break-in was done. There were probably several operations going on, all at the same time...don't forget that people died in the longer Watergate story....and IMO it was the beginning of the end for Nixon.
