No event I can think of has defined America since World War 2 than the assasination of President John F. Kennedy. On November 22, 1963, Kennedy was murdered while riding in an open car in the streets of Dallas Texas while on political visit there. You know the story so well. Lee harvey Oswald was arrested and accised of the crime. Oswald was then shot and killed while in the hands of police by shadowy underworld figure Jack Ruby. A commission appointed by Kennedy’s successor Lyndon Johnson issued a report that Oswald was the lone gunman, able to fire two shots hitting Kennedy at long range with a sniper rifle. And for 60 years, millions of Americans then and now do not believe the Warren Commission conclusion.  My guest, Jefferson Morley, is the nation’s top expert on the assassination. He casts doubt on the entire saga, from the Warren Commission investigation, to the murky and scandalous role of the CIA. The agency told the Warren commission it knew little about Oswald before the killing. Turns out that was a lie; that the CIA was in fact monitoring Oswald for weeks before the assassination. And records and memos to prove that are contained in CIA files, only recently declassified at the order of President Biden. Morley is an author of several books and a newsletter and podcast called JFK Facts, which explores the never ending questions around the case. As Morley says, incredibly - No one has ever been charged with a crime for the assassination. We dont know who did it. I made sure to ask Morley who he thinks killed Kennedy. Join us.
