Host Matt Crumpton analyzes each tree in the forest and then zooms out to look at the big picture. Objective truth is the paramount goal of the podcast, with every factual proposition cited. In season one, we look at whether the Warren Report got it right that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin, and if not, what the open questions are that still need to be resolved.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-17T14:17:25.494282+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/solving-jfk-5778054"},"episode":{"title":"Recap & Rebuttals Part 20 (Ep 90-94) Soviet Union with Larry Hancock","slug":"recap-rebuttals-part-20-ep-90-94-soviet-union-with-larry-hancock","published_at":"2026-05-06T04:05:03+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/solving-jfk-5778054/recap-rebuttals-part-20-ep-90-94-soviet-union-with-larry-hancock","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/solving-jfk-5778054","url":"https://redcircle.com/shows/217f60b5-3935-4cc6-8d92-71f1e769cba2/episodes/59860ea0-8b76-4217-8ce4-7a830dded3ce","audio_url":"https://audio2.redcircle.com/episodes/59860ea0-8b76-4217-8ce4-7a830dded3ce/stream.mp3","summary":"Author and researcher Larry Hancock returns to Solving JFK for his second Recap and Rebuttals episode, this time helping us pressure-test our five-part series on the Soviet Union as a potential culprit in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. We dig into Kennedy and Khrushchev's evolving relationship through Vienna, Berlin, and the tank standoff at Checkpoint Charlie; the brink of nuclear war drama of the Cuban Missile Crisis; the Cold War spy games surrounding Popov's Mole and Oswald's manipulated CIA file; JFK's late move toward peace and the limits of former CIA Director James Woolsey's theory that Khrushchev ordered the hit; and the newly released 350-page Russian document handed to Congresswoman Anna Paulina-Luna — including the bombshell that the \"Dear Mr. Hunt\" letter was a KGB forgery and the message Bobby and Jackie Kennedy sent to Khrushchev in December 1963 saying they believed the assassination was the result of a large political conspiracy.  Larry brings his document-grounded perspective to the question that runs through the whole series: did the Soviet Union have a hand in killing John F. Kennedy?
