Summary
A fascinating deep dive with author and hard-core researcher Lamar Waldron, author and co-author with Thom of numerous books on the related coverups of the MLK & JFK assasinations, Iran Contra, and other crimes. Also, the connection to the former CIA lawyer William Bar who is presently candidate for Attorney General. ---- Thom reads from 'Legacy of Secrecy' by Lamar Waldron and also by Thom himself ---- Scott in Kansas connects the diversity of presidential candidates to diverse superheroes in movies today. Then, Thom flashes back to Lindsey Graham's very public insistance on Bill Clinton's impeachment for the crime of lying about sex- not quite his standard for Don Trump these days. Caller Jan is concerned for Michael Cohen's safety after Trump's tweet threat, reminding Thom of the mysterious witness dissapearances of those who threatened Reagan and Bush. And Sharon in Minnesota says the Constitutional does not specify the President can not be indicted. ---- Finally, Bob Ney of Talk Media News with the stories behind the day's headlines.
