Author and former criminal defense attorney, Mark Shaw, speaks about his book "The Reporter Who Knew Too Much" and its follow-up, "Denial of Justice." Each chronicle not only his 12 years of research but most importantly, the life and times and mysterious death of What's My Line? TV star and crack investigative reporter Dorothy Kilgallen and her 18-month investigation of the Dallas tragedies which included being the only reporter to interview Jack Ruby at his trial. Shaw also discusses his controversial exposure of the most important JFK assassination documents in history, the Jack Ruby trial transcripts.

Interesting idea. Kilgallen was a liberal writer for the Herald Tribune who died under very mysterious circumstances after investigating the Kennedy assassination.

I remember her from the game show, but I was too young to follow any of her reporting.

I really enjoyed her role on To Tell The Truth. She had roots in Chicago and her dad
knew some Chicago mobsters. So maybe she knew something about Jack Ruby.

So after 60 years there are still classified documents unreleased because they remain sensitive. But since the majority of those ensnared in the story have passed away you have to ask yourself who remains to be protected? Or, more likely, what institutions stand to lose in any backlash from exposure. My money is on the CIA and big business interests that associate themselves with them.

A moll or a doll, what difference does it make?

Yup. At this point, keeping documents classified makes little sense — if you want to protect the Mafia, or Cuba, or the Soviet Union, or individuals who worked in the US government. There is no good reason to protect anything like that. BUT if the institution of the CIA is in the business of taking out inconvenient US politicians, then that seems like something you might want to conceal from the public.

The Truth will come out—in time BUT there are still many unanswered Questions about the assassination of Lincoln! What happened to the missing pages of Booths diary? What about the Dalgren Letter? Did Lincoln order the assassination of Jefferson Davis? Why was Mrs. Surat hung?

“The Reporter Who Knew Too Much”

She didnā€™t know enough to keep her mouth shut while she developed whatever she had. Maybe the same problem Marilyn Monroe had. Kilgallien had the intelligence and a bulldog quality to frighten anyone who may have had a secret to keep. Sheā€™s buried in Gate of Heaven here in NY. I stop by and say hello once in a while. I usually end up standing there shaking my head.

In the first 10 minutes you learn that JFK felt a little threatened by her supposed “integrity and independence” and co-opted her on anything she might have found to investigate him, like the graveyard Chicago vote in 1960.Prov 30:18-19:

There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:

19 The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.

I remember her saying in a column at the time that she had information that would blow the case wide open. A day or two later she was dead.

True. To calculate how true history is, I apply the following formula:

True News / Fake News * History = True History

Given News is about 95% fake, we can solve as follows:

.05 * History = True History

No she didnā€™t. She was a heavy drinker on sedatives. That catches up with one

I have been reading about they mysterious death of Dorothy Kilgallen for darn near 60 years.
I am convinced she died from Too Much Knowledge about The Assassination and it's aftermath.
Maybe someday............................

According to Schmucky Schumer, the CIA has “six ways from Sunday” to get back at people who make trouble for them.
