#067 - The Warren Commission Decided 14: Deep Cover(Up), Side B

Here it is folks! Side B of our final episode of the Warren Commission Decided. We think you'll really like this one, and truth be told, it was a little tough to say goodbye to those 8 goofy fellas and the rotating cast of characters swirling around them after spending the better part of a year digging into their exploits.

Recall from Side A that we have been navigating through the commissioners' executive sessions in roughly chronological order from December 1963 all the way up to when the commissioners presented their report to President Johnson in September 1964. The executive sessions were formal meetings, on the record, in which the commissioners discussed the case, made major decisions, and roadmapped their investigation. It is also where the Commission's chief counsel, J. Lee Rankin, broke the news that Lee Harvey Oswald was an undercover FBI agent.

In Side B, we lock in on our boy Jerry and all the work he was doing as the FBI’s man on the commission. Jerry was devoted to Hoover and kept the FBI abreast of all the developments on the commission on a confidential basis. We explore all the dirt that Jerry (allegedly) did for Hoover while serving on the commission. And we explore a more salacious story about how Jerry (again, allegedly) was the target of a honeypot operation involving Ellen Romestch. It’s the end of the line folks, and we thought we ought to end things with a lil’ sexpionage. Enjoy!
