Squad 19’s plan to disrupt the Miami DNC Convention entailed planting a number of agent provocateurs both inside and outside the 1972 republican Convention. Agents were to infiltrate the groups planning demonstrations against the war and poverty. At the time of the demonstrations, these agents were to provoke street battle with police surrounding the convention hall. Meanwhile, agents inside the convention hall were to plant explosives timed to blow up coincidental with the riots in the streets. The stated purpose was to kill a number of delegates and blame the VVAW.
Could Barry Seal’s arrest on explosives charges on July 2, 1972, have had something to do with the operations of Bush’s Republican Texas money-raising squad of Hugh Liedtke, Pennzoil, and Robert Mosbacher? He had financial ties to the Nixon fundraising bundlers, and they could have bankrolled his purchase of explosives as he suggested pre-trial. Someone on the inside knew of the plan and alerted outside law-enforcement to expect his landing time and intercept the airplane before delivery.
