      1. Speaking of JFK's assassination, it's worth revisiting story of Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee & his sister-in-law Mary Pinchot Meyer

      2. Ben Bradlee's sister-in-law was Mary Pinchot Meyer, who was married to CIA bigwig Cord Meyer. She was also JFK's mistress.

      4. When he heard his sister-in-law was killed, Ben Bradlee went to her Georgetown house to find her diary, suspecting it was explosive.

      5. Bradlee went to the house. Door was locked. He had key. Inside was James Jesus Angleton, head of CIA counterintelligence.

          9. Angleton told Ben & Toni Bradlee that he didn't find the diary. No diary has ever been found. Mary Meyer was known to keep a diary.

          10. The interesting thing about James Jesus Angleton is that he had been paying attention to Oswald since 1959, when Oswald defected to USSR

          11. Seven days before Kennedy died, Angleton's staff received word that Oswald was in Dallas:https://www.thedailybeast.com/cia-spyhunters-knew-lee-harvey-oswald-was-in-dallas-days-before-jfks-assassination …

          12. The great @jeffersonmorley tracked Angleton's interest in Oswald in his book The Ghost & here:https://www.thedailybeast.com/cia-spyhunters-knew-lee-harvey-oswald-was-in-dallas-days-before-jfks-assassination …

          13. Angleton made a systematic effort to obfuscate or destroy evidence of CIA knowledge of Oswald pre-assassination.

          14. What's the best case scenario here? Angelton was following Oswald, embarrassed he didn't stop assassination & wanted to cover up.

          Jeet Heer Retweeted Jefferson Morley

          15. Okay, here's the kicker: among the documents NOT released today, transcript of testimony from J.J. Angelton:https://twitter.com/jeffersonmorley/status/923731474905518080 …

          Jeet Heer added,

          Jefferson Morley @jeffersonmorley
          The CIA's #JFKFiles include 151-page transcript of the 9/12/75 Church Committee testimony of James Angleton. It was not released.
