Career
Devine reportedly left the CIA in 1953 to help his associate, George H. W. Bush to establish the oil company, Zapata Oil.
Russ Baker notes that "For Devine, who would have been about twenty-seven years old at the time, to resign at such a young age, so soon after the CIA had spent a great deal of time and money training him, was, at minimum, highly unusual. It would turn out, however, that Devine had a special relationship allowing him to come and go from the agency, enabling him to do other things without really leaving its employ."[1]
JFK Assassination
It is unclear whether Devine had any involvement in the JFK Assassination.[2]
