So the assassination was supposed to be carried out by Hunt [1] and Liddy [2], two of the Watergate burglars. Both these guys served time in federal prison. And wrote books, did campus tours, gave interviews, made a lot of money telling people about Watergate and other stuff. Did they ever tell a lie, or embellish their stories for dramatic effect? In this case, it appears so, because the stories are inconsistent. The Washington Post article claims the idea came from Charles Colson, who contacted Hunt and proposed assassinating Anderson by using an untraceable poison, like LSD. After that, they brought Liddy in the conspiracy. But Washington Post also links to [3], where we learn that Liddy considered Anderson a "fit target for killing", not because Anderson was a pain in Nixon's neck, but because he doxxed some American spy who lost his life because of that. True or not, Liddy says he also planned to kill Hunt himself. To which Hunt states that Liddy was "a posturer with doubtful credentials as a killer " (one wonders if that was in comparison with his own "credentials") and "suggested he (Liddy) was mentally unbalanced". What a mess... I'll take anything these guys say with a big grain of salt.
