Jefferson Morley

They can't even line up the bullet holes

Why study JFK’s assassination? podcaster Julian Boireau asked me [Jefferson Morley] in the debut episode of his Spotify show, Conspiracy Theories. I said...

“It’s a great story. I pay attention to it because its very important in American history. It’s of continuing interest to lots and lots readers and there are key questions and issues that are unresolved....a ripe subject for good investigative reporting.…I like its scale. It’s important and we know that its important. President Biden issued an order about it earlier this year. Robert Kennedy Jr. is running for president and talking about it. President Trump has been talking about JFK files. It’s a big deal in American culture. It always has been.”

Julian’s methodical questioning helps unpack a complex story. I explain how the CIA has gained control of the last of the JFK assassination files—something Congress never intended. We talked about the Cold War, the violent opposition to JFK’s visionary foreign policy, and why Kennedy is still relevant today.
