If TWA 800 was not shot down then why does the government prosecute someone who comes up with evidence that it may have been? If the guy is coming up with tinfoil then why not disprove his evidence instead of threatening him and prosecuting him under a very specious law that was not meant to be used on reporters or authors?

Isn’t this the guy that STOLE evidence from the collection site?

Maybe I’m thinking of another guy who was prosecuted?

For the same reason there are still 1 million classified documents on the JFK assassination still sealed.....because the REAL truth is a bitch to explain!

He was convicted of stealing parts of TWA800 from the hanger where it was being assembled.
