America's Real Atom Spies: Dave Lindorff

from Start Making Sense Clips · host Start Making Sense Clips

New discoveries about America’s atom spies: Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed in June, 1953. We know that Julius did not give ‘the secret of the a-bomb’ to the Russians--that was the work of a couple of other people. And the FBI knew it at the time. So: why did the FBI go after the Rosenbergs, instead of the person they knew was the real spy? His name was Ted Hall--a brilliant young physicist who worked on the Manhattan Project and gave the Russians detailed information about the plutonium bomb dropped on Nagasaki. The FBI investigated him, but never charged him with a crime. Now Dave Lindorff of The Nation has found out why.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
