Risking his career? Perhaps but please note that King bashing is a favorite pastime on the web. Just do a google search. Perhaps the King bashers had been unable to find evidence of secret party membership, because no such evidence exists.

Perhaps the King bashers had been unable to find evidence of secret party membership, because no such evidence exists.

Odd, then, that King's defenders don't say they have tried to find it, and it doesn't exist.

Mind you, I'm not saying it does exist. I suspect it does not. But I also suspect nobody has tried to find it, so that they can make the same denial that the Chaplin biographer makes, for the reason I surmised earlier: even asking the question can be a career-ender.
