JFK FILES RELEASED, Shocking Documents Released By Trump DROPPED w/Amber Duke
Episode Recap
Tim Pool and co-hosts Amber Duke, Libby Emmons, and Phil Labonte discussed the Trump administration's release of 80,000 pages of JFK assassination files. The discussion centered on the contents of the newly released documents, with the team noting that initial assessments suggest the files provide more detail on Lee Harvey Oswald's movements, particularly his trip to Mexico City six weeks before the assassination, but contain no major conspiracy breakthroughs. The conversation covered Cuban diplomatic missions being on high alert, Jackie Kennedy's letters to LBJ, and CIA files related to Cuban assassins. The panel also addressed the escalating attacks on Tesla dealerships and conservatives, comparing the situation to Weather Underground terrorism, and discussed Trump's feud with a judge over military flights, with Justice Roberts responding to Trump's impeachment demands.
