We spoke on the day after the 57th anniversary of the assassination of the President John F. Kennedy, and naturally the JFK story came up.

CIA tradecraft & JFK’s assassination: ‘I’m not privy to who struck John’

Jefferson Morley February 8, 2020

[ICYMI: Part I : A veteran officer analyzes the death of a president / Part II: ‘The very top people.’ / Part III: The making of a patsy ]
