The Docket 11.16.23 The Greatest Trick The Devil Ever Pulled

It’s November, when we observe anniversaries for two of the major-est major cases: the murder of JFK, and the jump into history of DB Cooper. Other topics include the shift of “the news” from public trust to business concern; the politicization of conspiracy theories; whether the Kennedys “sell” anymore; the alternate “JFK Jr. survived” timeline; how DB Cooper non-lethally, modestly, stuck it to the man; and the rarity of a heister keeping it frosty enough to get away with it. Call the Yellowjackets writers, we’ve got notes!
