The formation of "The Plumbers" is examined as a response to the leaking of the Pentagon Papers by Daniel Ellsberg. CIA veterans E. Howard Hunt and James McCord infiltrated the Nixon administration and the Committee to Re-elect the President, respectively, effectively running circles around the eccentric G. Gordon Liddy.

In the period leading up to the JFK assassination, Allen Dulles and a network of deposed CIA officials harbored significant animus toward President Kennedy.

Richard Nixon is identified as the primary organizer of Operation 40, utilizing veterans from the 1954 Guatemalan coup. Key CIA figures involved included E.
