Summary

Former Assistant Counsel for The Warren Commission Judge Burt Griffin, Truth is the Only Client filmmakers Todd Kwait and Rob Stegman, and DeepStateBlog's Jefferson Morley join Michael Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman on Skullduggery's "Buried Treasure." This episode is a deep dive into the "original" mainstream conspiracy still debated today, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. First, the men behind the documentary that states The Warren Commission got it right, debunk all theories that question its findings. Then Morley, who's been fighting to get the rest of the C.I.A.'s classified documents on the matter declassified, makes his case that there was indeed a cover-up and that the answer "could be" in said documents.
