Career

Devine joined the CIA, The official narrative states that he left it in 1953 to help his associate, George H. W. Bush to establish Zapata Oil, though many have doubted that he really left.[1] Russ Baker, for example, 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."[2]

JFK Assassination

It is unclear whether Devine had any involvement in the JFK Assassination.[3]
