Was What's My Line TV Star, media icon, and crack investigative reporter and journalist Dorothy Kilgallen murdered for writing a tell-all book about the JFK assassination? If so, is the main suspect in her death still at large?These questions and more are answered in former CNN, ESPN, and USA Today legal analyst Mark Shaw's 25th book, The Reporter Who Knew Too Much. Through discovery of never-before-seen videotaped eyewitness interviews with those closest to Kilgallen and secret government documents, Shaw unfolds a “whodunit” murder mystery featuring suspects including Frank Sinatra, J. Edgar Hoover, Mafia Don Carlos Marcello and a "Mystery Man" who may have silenced Kilgallen. All while by presenting through Kilgallen's eyes the most compelling evidence about the JFK assassinations since the House Select Committee on Assassination's investigation in the 1970s.Called by the New York Post, “the most powerful female voice in America,” and by acclaimed author Mark Lane the “the only serious journalist in America who was concerned with who killed John Kennedy and getting all of the facts about the assassination,” Kilgallen's official cause of death reported as an overdose of barbiturates combined with alcohol, has always been suspect since no investigation occurred despite the death scene having been staged. Shaw proves Kilgallen, a remarkable woman who broke the "glass ceiling" before the term became fashionable, was denied the justice she deserved, that is until now.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Michigan Congressman John Moolenaar is a national treasure. He chairs the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party and works tirelessly to counter what the CCP calls its “unrestricted warfare” against us.  Yesterday, Chairman Moolenaar took action. He wrote two of our country's top financiers, JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon and Bank of America's Brian Moynihan, and demanded that they stop their investment banks' joint efforts to raise over $7 billion for a Chinese military and slave-labor exploiting company known as CATL.  It is, as the Godfather would say, “an offer they can't refuse.” Should Messrs. Dimon and Moynihan fail to disengage from thus “funding our own demise,” the chairman will require them to provide extensive documentation about this transaction that will expose the degree to which such “old friends” of China are knowingly betraying and endangering America.  Bring it! This is Frank Gaffney.

For six decades, the official story—lone gunman, three shots, Lee Harvey Oswald—has been spoon-fed to a skeptical world. But what if it's a lie? In this electrifying episode, legal titan Robert K. Tanenbaum, who probed JFK's murder for the House Select Committee, unveils a jaw-dropping truth: Oswald didn't fire the fatal shot. Five bullets. Multiple shooters. A conspiracy so vast it implicates the darkest corners of power—CIA, mob, even government insiders. From the grassy knoll to buried files, Tanenbaum rips apart the Warren Commission's fairy tale with forensic precision and courtroom grit.   GUEST: Robert K. Tanenbaum is a renowned former prosecutor and bestselling author. With an undefeated record in felony cases as a New York homicide prosecutor, he later served as Deputy Chief Counsel for the House Select Committee on Assassinations (1976-1978), investigating JFK's murder. His findings exposed inconsistencies in the official narrative, fueling his decades-long pursuit of the truth. Tanenbaum has written over 30 books, including the bestselling Butch Karp series and That Day in Dallas: Lee Harvey Oswald Did Not Kill JFK, blending legal expertise with gripping storytelling. A sought-after speaker, he continues to challenge conventional accounts of one of history's most infamous crimes.   WEBSITE: https://robertktanenbaumbooks.com   BOOK: That Day in Dallas: Lee Harvey Oswald Did Not Kill JFK   Learn more about your ad choices.

CIA contract pilot William "Tosh" Plumlee is back—this time with his eyewitness account from the South Knoll of Dealey Plaza, in Dallas on November 22rd, 1963. Present as part of a Pentagon abort team, Tosh counted five shots, coming from at least two directions, with the fatal headshot coming from the South Knoll parking lot. Tosh drew a map of the events as he saw them, and shared his eyewitness account under sworn testimony to the FBI, the Church Committee, the House Select Committee on Assassinations and others. Over the years, Tosh has received visits from anonymous 'agents' warning him to keep quiet. Now he's telling his story to HBH.Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com

Rep. John Torbett joined this week's edition of the SEANC View Podcast to discuss the House Select Committee on Government Efficiency work, which he co-chairs with Rep. Keith Kidwell. Torbett discusses in length the committee's aims, how it compares to the national DOGE effort led by Elon Musk, and the role SEANC and state employees will play in its work. Before the interview, the SEANC team discusses this week's House Commerce and Economic Development Committee meetings concerning a bill to invest 10% of the state pension plan in Bitcoin. SEANC lobbyist Flint Benson spoke out against the bill in the committee, telling members that Bitcoin is too volatile to risk state employees' retirement security. We also discuss the State Health Plan's expected premium increase ahead of Friday's meeting.

The NSA's former top cybersecurity official told Congress on Wednesday that the Trump administration's attempts to mass fire probationary federal employees will be “devastating” for U.S. cybersecurity operations. In testimony to the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, Rob Joyce, the former NSA cybersecurity director who retired from government service last year, warned lawmakers that countering Chinese hacking campaigns against critical infrastructure will require top-level cybersecurity talent at the NSA and other government agencies. Joyce said that part of that is having expertise and capacity in the government, raising “grave concerns that the aggressive threats to cut U.S. government probationary employees will have a devastating impact on the cybersecurity and our national security.” Joyce, who spent 34 years at the NSA, emphasized how important those employees are in sustaining an aggressive stance against China in cyberspace. A federal appeals body within the executive branch issued an order Wednesday to temporarily reinstate thousands of fired probationary workers in the U.S. Department of Agriculture in what advocates hailed as an important win for fired employees. The decision from the Merit Systems Protection Board, a quasi-judicial body within the government, grants a Friday request from the Office of Special Council, an independent government investigator, to stay the termination of an unnamed former employee and over 5,000 others who were similarly situated. The decision from MSPB also comes on the heels of another win for fired probationary workers in federal district court in San Francisco. U.S. District Judge William Alsup granted temporary, limited relief to pause and rescind those firings at several agencies, finding that OPM likely unlawfully directed the firing of those agency workers. That order has similarly prompted reinstatements. Since the court decision, the National Science Foundation moved to reinstate its fired federal probationary workers, citing the federal courts and updated guidance from the Office of Personnel Management.

One of President Donald Trump's first actions as president was simple and sweeping: pardoning 1,500 people convicted of offenses related to the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol. That single executive action undid years of work and investigation by the FBI, US prosecutors, and one person in particular: Tim Heaphy.Heaphy was the lead investigative counsel for the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol, and he's arguably done more than anyone to piece together what happened that day. His work helped inform related cases that were brought against rioters, Trump administration officials, and even Trump himself.In the first episode of More To The Story, Heaphy talks to host Al Letson about how Trump swept aside those consequences; the overlap between the January 6 attack and the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia; and what Trump's pardons mean for the country going forward.Check out the Reveal episode Viral Lies, in which we dig into the origins of “Stop the Steal.”Support our journalism at Revealnews.org/donatenowSubscribe to our weekly newsletter to get the scoop on new episodes at Revealnews.org/weeklyInstagramMore To The Story team:Kara McGuirk-Allison, Josh Sanburn, Al Letson Taki Telonidis, Brett Myers, Fernando Arruda, Jim Briggs, Nikki Frick, Kate Howard, Artis Curiskis Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Their expertise focuses on the work of the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) and the controversial circumstances surrounding the shooting of Lee Harvey Oswald. Throughout the discussion, we will delve into critical HSCA interviews, analyze the committee's investigative methods, and examine key pieces of audio evidence that raise questions about the official narrative of the events on November 22 and November 24, 1963.

As the world watches, the legal battles surrounding Donald Trump continue to unfold. In recent days, the former U.S. President has been at the center of several high-profile court trials.One of the most significant cases involves Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. The Justice Department has been investigating whether Trump improperly removed and stored sensitive documents, including those related to national security. This case has been ongoing, with recent developments indicating that Trump's legal team is preparing for a potential indictment.Meanwhile, in New York, Trump is facing a civil fraud lawsuit filed by Attorney General Letitia James. The lawsuit accuses Trump and his company of inflating the value of his assets to secure better loan terms and lower taxes. This case has been making headlines, with Trump's lawyers arguing that the lawsuit is politically motivated.In another case, Trump is facing charges related to his role in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. The House Select Committee has been investigating Trump's involvement in the events leading up to the riot, and recent testimony has implicated Trump in the planning and execution of the attack.Additionally, Trump is facing a defamation lawsuit filed by E. Jean Carroll, a writer who accused Trump of raping her in the 1990s. Trump has denied the allegations, but the case has been moving forward, with recent developments indicating that Trump may be required to testify under oath.As these cases continue to unfold, the world is watching with bated breath. The outcomes of these trials will have significant implications for Trump's future, both personally and politically. With each new development, the stakes grow higher, and the nation waits with anticipation to see how these cases will ultimately play out.In the midst of these legal battles, Trump remains defiant, maintaining his innocence and accusing his opponents of political persecution. However, the evidence presented in these cases paints a different picture, one of a former president who may have crossed legal boundaries in pursuit of power and personal gain.As the trials continue, one thing is clear: the fate of Donald Trump hangs in the balance, and the world is watching to see what the future holds for the former U.S. President.

Join us over on our YouTube Channel for our most significant conversation yet on  the interview series. Rick Russo and I engage in a discussion with Andy Purdy who was Senior Counsel for the HSCA reporting directly to Robert Blakey. Purdy had overall responsibility for the medical evidence review conducted by the HSCA and that is the topic of our conversation today with Andy. Andy also played a principal role in the reinvestigation of the Tippit murder and the investigation of Jack Ruby's involvement in the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald and any potential conspiracy. Andy found our podcast early last year,  and this taped discussion with us  is the culmination of an ongoing conversation with a man who was front and center in the HSCA's investigation, but hasn't been heard from within the JFK research community for over thirty years.  Join us and listen in on riveting discussion related to the autopsy and also  hear a lesser known  story of how the HSCA was formed. You will learn that Andy himself had a big hand in the HSCA's formation as well while he was a law student at the University of Virginia. This is a blockbuster interview with one of the few remaining investigators of the JFK assassination. You you are not going to want to miss it!

Just after midnight on Tuesday, Jan. 14, Special Counsel Jack Smith's office released its report on President-elect Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. The report concludes that the evidence Smith obtained was sufficient to criminally convict Trump, but that after the 2024 election, the case could not move forward in light of Justice Department policy against prosecuting a sitting president.  While the report reveals relatively little new factual information around the events of the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, it does explain Smith's rationale for his legal positions and key decisions. The report could also have implications for other criminal proceedings, including state-level cases against fake electors. What are the report's key take-aways and how might it add to the historical record? Joining the show to discuss the report are Tom Joscelyn and Marty Lederman. Tom is a Senior Fellow at Just Security. He was a senior professional staff member on the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol. Marty is an Executive Editor at Just Security and a Professor at Georgetown University Law Center. He served in senior roles at the Justice Department, including in the Office of Legal Counsel.  Show Notes:  Paras Shah (LinkedIn – X)Tom Joscelyn (Bluesky – X) Marty Lederman (Bluesky – X)Tom's Just Security article with Ryan Goodman (Bluesky – LinkedIn) “3 Highlights in Special Counsel Jack Smith's Final Report on 2020 Election Subversion Case” Just Security's Trump Trials ClearinghouseJust Security's January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol coverageMusic: “Broken” by David Bullard from Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/t/david-bullard/broken (License code: OSC7K3LCPSGXISVI)

In the early hours of January 14, 2024 the Department of Justice released its long-awaited election interference report against President-elect Donald Trump. It was a long and winding road to that moment—and one marked, ultimately, by justice delayed. In November 2022, Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Jack Smith as special counsel to oversee criminal investigations by the Justice Department into former President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election and his retention of classified documents. The two cases were brought in different jurisdictions—with charges for the classified documents case filed in Florida and the elections case in Washington, D.C. After false starts, the blockbuster Supreme Court ruling on July 1, 2024 that former President Trump is entitled to some immunity from criminal prosecution for actions taken to overturn the results of the 2020 election, and the subsequent re-election of Trump in November, Smith and the DOJ dropped both cases. (Publication of Smith's report regarding the documents case is delayed due to pending charges against co-conspirators.) Connect:Episode Transcripts >>> Stanford Legal Podcast WebsiteStanford Legal Podcast >>> LinkedIn PageRich Ford >>>  Twitter/XPam Karlan >>> Stanford Law School PageStanford Law School >>> Twitter/XStanford Lawyer Magazine >>> Twitter/XLinks:David Sklansky >>> Stanford Law pageCriminal Justice in Divided America, Police, Punishment, and the Future of Our Democracy >>> Stanford Lawyer magazine online feature(00:00:00) Chapter 1: Introduction and the Role of Special ProsecutorsPam Karlan and David Sklansky discuss the history and purpose of special prosecutors, their use in politically sensitive cases, and the implications of their reports. Sklansky explains the transition from independent counsels to special counsels and highlights examples like the Mueller Report and investigations into Hunter Biden.(00:05:01) Chapter 2: Insights from Jack Smith's ReportThe conversation shifts to Jack Smith's report on Donald Trump. Karlan and Sklansky explore the evidence presented, its connection to the January 6th events, and the debates around releasing such reports. Karlan questions the timing of appointing a special counsel, given much was already public knowledge.(00:08:25) Chapter 3: Prosecution Outcomes and Future ImplicationsKarlan and Sklansky discuss the slow progress of Trump's investigation compared to other January 6th prosecutions. They also cover Trump's promise to pardon convicted January 6th defendants, the fate of unnamed co-conspirators, and the ethical questions surrounding Todd Blanche's involvement at the DOJ. (00:12:16) Chapter 4: Decisions and Legal Strategies in Trump's ProsecutionKarlan and Sklansky discuss the decision not to charge Donald Trump with insurrection, focusing instead on charges like fraud and voter suppression. They analyze why the special counsel avoided certain charges and the challenges of applying existing statutes to unprecedented events.(00:16:30) Chapter 5: The Supreme Court's Role and the Impact on ProsecutionThe conversation explores delays caused by the Supreme Court, including its handling of presidential immunity. Karlan and Sklansky explain how these rulings affected timelines and created legal ambiguities that could influence appeals and the overall process.(00:19:00) Chapter 6: Restoring Trust in Criminal Justice and DemocracyKarlan and Sklansky shift focus to broader implications for democracy, discussing how Trump's prosecutions might deepen distrust in institutions. They consider paths to reform, including bipartisan efforts to reinforce the rule of law and community policing. The episode concludes with reflections on lessons from past legal leaders and the enduring relevance of Robert Jackson's warnings about prosecutorial overreach.

Why do so many see rioters as patriots? Has apathy become a bigger threat than violence? The lead investigator in the House Select Committee to investigate the January 6th attack on the Capitol, Tim Heaphy, joins Preet to discuss the evolving narrative around the insurrection, the push for pardons, and how distrust in government has eroded faith in public institutions. Heaphy is out with a new book, Harbingers: What January 6 and Charlottesville Reveal About Rising Threats to American Democracy, an insider account of these seminal events and where we go from here.  For show notes and a transcript of the episode head to: cafe.com/stay-tuned/january-6-charlottesville-democracy-tim-heaphy-book/  Have a question for Preet?

OA1108 - A Coup in Search of a Legal Theory We commemorate the fourth anniversary of the January 6, 2021 insurrection by remembering the two elite lawyers who bear significant personal, moral, and legal responsibility for one of the single worst days in US political history. The bad-faith legal cover Kenneth Chesebro and John Eastman provided for the “Stop the Steal” movement in the months leading up to MAGA's violent insurrection would ultimately result in nine deaths, hundreds of injuries, and the initiation of more than 1500 federal criminal cases--but Eastman and his MAGA allies are already trying to rewrite that history in front of us. We push back in this special episode, with more to come.

Longtime Congressman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., was honored with the Presidential Citizens Medal by President Joe Biden during a White House ceremony on Thursday. Thompson, 76, whose congressional career spans over 30 years, has long been a defender of democracy. As former chairman of the Jan. 6 House Select Committee and the first Black chair of the Homeland Security Committee, Thompson's leadership earned praise on Capitol Hill. Thompson worked alongside icons like Fannie Lou Hamer, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and John Lewis. His legacy, rooted in advancing civil rights and defending the U.S. Constitution, made him a fitting recipient of this honor. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In recent weeks and months, dozens of prominent security and military officials and Republican politicians have come out against Donald Trump, declaring him a security threat, unfit for office, and, in some cases, a fascist. Way out in front of this movement was Liz Cheney. Up until 2021, she was the third-ranking Republican in Congress, but after the January 6th insurrection she voted to impeach Trump. She then served as vice-chair of the House Select Committee on the January 6th attack. She must have expected it would cost her the midterms and her seat in Congress, which ended up being the case when Wyoming voters rejected her in 2022. Since then, Cheney has gone further, campaigning forcefully on behalf of Vice-President Harris. David Remnick spoke with Cheney last week at The New Yorker Festival, shortly after Jeff Bezos, owner of the Washington Post, blocked its planned endorsement of Harris. “It absolutely proves the danger of Donald Trump,” Cheney said. “When you have Jeff Bezos apparently afraid to issue an endorsement for the only candidate in the race who's a stable, responsible adult, because he fears Donald Trump, that tells you why we have to work so hard to make sure that Donald Trump isn't elected,” Cheney told Remnick. “And I cancelled my subscription to the Washington Post.”

Chinese companies control 80% of the shipping cranes in U.S. ports. And the People's Republic of China is now the largest foreign investor in U.S. shale gas. And Chinese companies operating in the U.S. are regularly caught stealing American intellectual property, personal data, and even genomic data. Why should we care? Because Chinese companies are legally beholden to the Chinese Communist Party, and have given the CCP the opportunity to cripple critical American infrastructure in the event of any confrontation between the U.S. and China. In this episode of WTH Live! the Chairman and Ranking Member of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party outline the threat certain Chinese companies operating in the U.S. pose to national security, and how to combat it. Congressman John R. Moolenaar represents Michigan's Second Congressional District and serves as the Chairman of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party. Rep. Moolenaar also serves as Michigan's senior member of the House Committee on Appropriations and as the Co-Chair for the School Choice Caucus. Prior to joining the House, Rep. Moolenaar served in the Michigan State Senate and Michigan House of Representatives. Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi represents Illinois's Eighth Congressional District and serves as the Ranking Member of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party, making him the first South Asian American in history to lead a Congressional Committee. He also serves on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the Committee on Oversight and Accountability.Read the transcript here.

Russell Kenneth DeGraff spent 18 years as a staffer on Capitol Hill, including 12 years as the Chief Climate and Technology Advisor to Nancy Pelosi, notably during her second term as Speaker of the House. He was, as they say in the room where it happened when negotiating the landmark climate legislation of the last few years, including the Inflation Reduction Act, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and the CHIPS and Science Act. This is a special conversation going deep into the backstory of how things work in Washington and how these once-in-a-generation climate policies came to be realized. In this episode, we cover: Russell's background and path to Capitol HillHis roles in congressional offices, including work with Congressman Mike Doyle and Speaker Nancy PelosiThe challenges of passing legislation in a closely divided SenateNegotiating and passing major climate policies like the Inflation Reduction Act, and the role of the House Select Committee on the Climate CrisisA case study on negotiating solar canalsDynamics of working with key senators, such as Joe ManchinRussell's current work with Stanford and HarvardReflections on January 6, the political climate, and the 2024 presidential electionAdvice for getting involved in electoral efforts to support climate actionRisks of losing recently passed climate policies if Democrats lose control of CongressWhy climate change is inherently a political issueEpisode recorded on Aug 6, 2024 (Published on Oct 7, 2024) Get connected with MCJ: Cody Simms X / LinkedInMCJ Podcast / Collective / YouTube*If you liked this episode, please consider giving us a review!

After former Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger delivered a kick-ass primetime speech at the Democratic National Convention, we thought it would be good to re-boot our conversation with him here.   We're on Patreon! Join the community:  https://www.patreon.com/politicsandreligion   It would mean so much if you could leave us a review:  https://ratethispodcast.com/goodfaithpolitics   "Bringing people together to learn how to do democracy again. And we're gonna go after the crazies in the political environment that do not have the interest of the country at heart." - Adam Kinzinger   Rep. Adam Kinzinger served with integrity during his time in the U.S. Congress as well as the Air Force. Yet, the mere mention of his name sends a certain ex-President (HINT: rhymes with Shmump) as well as many of that ex-prez's most loyal followers into a rage. So it was a special honor for us to speak with former Congressman Kinzinger. Having served in Congress from 2011 to 2023 and on notable committees such as the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 Capitol attack, he discusses the challenges of political extremism, the importance of compromise, and his journey from a conservative upbringing to questioning his beliefs, while staying true to deeply rooted, unimpeachable values. He addresses the toxicity of social media, the need for reconciliation across political and religious spectrums, and his work with Country First, aimed at promoting democracy and moderating political discourse. Adam's reflections on his faith, encounters with extremism, and the significance of genuine conversation across differences provide a nuanced perspective on navigating the complexities of current American political and religious landscapes.   Congressman Adam Kinzinger served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2011 to 2023, representing Illinois' 16th Congressional District. During his tenure, he served on the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol, as well as the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Rep. Kinzinger is the founder of Country First, an organization that works to activate the MUTED Majority to reject division and seek proven solutions to the challenges not being addressed by our leaders. He is also the author of RENEGADE: DEFENDING DEMOCRACY AND LIBERTY IN OUR DIVIDED COUNTRY. Prior to being elected to Congress, he served in the Air Force in both Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. He is a Lieutenant Colonel in the Air National Guard and a Senior Political Commentator on CNN.   Let us know what you think.

Protests over Israel's treatment of Gaza dominated headlines and disrupted commencements, while antisemitic and anti-Muslim incidents on campuses rose. As another school year approaches, institutions are facing new free speech debates ahead.

More than 50 Members of Congress have announced that they're not running for reelection in 2024. Many cite political dysfunction and angry divisive rhetoric as reasons behind their decision to quit. Retiring Democratic Senator Joe Manchin recently told CNN: “Every one of us should be ashamed of what we're living through now in the 118th Congress.” But there are constructive examples of cooperation. On the next episode of "Let's Find Common Ground", we host a lively conversation with Reps. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Illinois) and Rusty Johnson (R-South Dakota). Both argue that finding common ground is a crucial ingredient in governing and making progress on solving the biggest challenges facing the nation. Johnson and Krishamoorthi also speak of their work together as Members of the bipartisan House Select Committee on China.
