Episode 20

In this episode I recap some things that I’ve treated in more detail before, so you can refer to previous show notes for the relevant references. For example, see the show notes to Episode 7 for references on the FBI’s bungled surveillance of Oswald, and on Agent Hosty’s destruction of Oswald’s threatening note; see Episode 8 for the claims of the Parkland doctors, and for the full story of the FBI’s flawed account of Kennedy’s autopsy; see Episode 9 for the Single Bullet Theory.
