BONUS: The JFK Records & The National Archives

Mark Adamczyk and Andrew Iler are back on the show — two lawyers who are both co-authors with me on The JFK Assassination Chokeholds, and two of the very few people who've read the 1992 JFK Records Act as closely as it deserves. Their new three-part article, "The War on Oliver Stone's JFK Records Act," traces a line from the media pile-on against Stone's film, through two secret CIA memos written months before the law even passed, all the way to a problem nobody in the mainstream press wants to touch: more than 27,000 binding legal orders issued by the Assassination Records Review Board appear to have gone missing at the National Archives. If those orders are gone, so is the only real mechanism Congress built to hold the government to its word.We get into all of it: the Board's fights with the CIA and FBI in the '90s, the congressional records still sealed in 2026, and the "blank piece of paper" determinations that should set off alarm bells. Then Mark and Andrew tell us about their recent trip to the National Archives in College Park, what they were allowed to see, and what they weren't. It's a long one, and as always on this show, we cite our sources and show our work.Our Sponsors:* Check out ElevenReader and use my code PODCAST for a great deal: https://elevenreader.io* Check out Mood and use my code JFK for a great deal: https://mood.com* Check out Rosetta Stone and use my code TODAY for a great deal: https://www.rosettastone.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
