Love the legal pad as well. This coming from a girl who will never give up paper. ๐Ÿ“.

Thanks for the recap. Now off to cue up Oliverโ€™s JFK. ๐Ÿ˜‰

It made me want to go back to hand written notes. I'll never forget him and that notepad.

I still use it notepads for some things because for me, when I write something down & itโ€™s something I need to remember it works for me.

FYI: I use these shoes when you have to take off heels to run. They fold up & fit in your

bag, very comfortable & many stylish prints. Called Tieks. https://tieks.com/boutiek

There is definitely something about pen to paper, itโ€™s permanence.

One of the last comments in the entire hearing was from Mr. DiEugenio who said something truly spectacular which I had never heard previously. He mentioned that prior to the JFK assassination in Dallas there were two previous recent assassination attempts against JFK, one in Chicago and one in Miami. What?!! Needless to say, I want more information here!

And needless to say, if the CIA is this culpable in orchestrating the assassination of an American President, what other dastardly deeds have they engaged in?

Jessica...raise THIS question in your next comments on this fascinating subject.

Jessica Reed Kraus's avatar

Ok!! Great observation. How did I miss that?!

Dana Ullman, MPH, CCH's avatar

Cool...glad to bring it to your attention.

BTW...I'm the homeopath who you met in L.A. at that RFK fundraising event and comedy show.

This is pitch perfect, as always....as a former lawyer, may the legal pad never go away; I buy them in bulk, still. Enjoy your spring break, buy all the damn loafers you want (maybe some you can run in?) and be with your boys. Also, ready to read your review of the Didion/Bibitz book. Thanks for the heads up, Bibitz is my new deep dive read.

I'm meeting with the author this week too! X

It seems as though we haven't learned because both assassination attempts on Donald Trump have been memory holed and covered up. The thing about the JFK assassination is we all know it was primarily the CIA who was responsible. I think going forward, particularly in this day and age, it will be more and more difficult to lie and cover things up. That's why it is confounding to me. that more information has not been made public regarding the assassination attempts. Why couldn't Boebert just say I made a mistake? Why is this so difficult for people? Huge fan of Oliver Stone, the filmmaker. Not so much the person although glad he has stuck to his guns on JFK. Also his son Sean looks to be forging a great career as a director and producer. Oh and Nancy Mace is a force to be reckoned with. Look out!!

Iโ€™m glad youโ€™re back to writing your stories. I love the way you describe things! Love your style.

Jessica Reed Kraus's avatar

Oh good. because I have some good ones from the past week snooping around the White House.

SomeMoAZ's avatar

Looking forward to it! Love how you make the WH human again.

Second hand embarrassment on Boebert. I see her nothing more than a character anyway.

How fucking cool is Oliver Stone?

Lingajbrack's avatar

I only read a few sentences, when you said Oliver Stone smiled back thatโ€™s when I stopped. Oliver Stone movies are full of crap as specialty what he acts like the movie was True. He changes history all the time and people that watch the movie

believe it as truth.

I will go back to your

story tomorrow. I think you are a really

good writer.

Kind Regards

I didn't think someone smiling was ever offensive.

How long to I have to get

the friends subscriptions

to you

Lingajbrack's avatar

I need to get their email. My

friends and I usually talk on the

Phone

Lingajbrack's avatar

I think your response to my comment was rude. I would like to know if you think Oliver Stone writes true movies? Just curious. I still think you are a good writer

What a truly extraordinary moment you find yourself in Jessica! Itโ€™s hard to fathom being in the midst of such passionate discussions on issues of profound significance. Meeting Oliver Stone has got to be a very memorable moment. I have always thought he is very intelligent and extremely creative. What baffles me, though, is the relentless battle the Democrats seem to be waging. Their attempts to undermine every word spoken is perplexing. I can't help but feel frustrated by how often they tie everything back to President Trump. It leaves me wondering what's going on in their minds. If I were a Democrat, I doubt I could align myself with such tactics. It seems like a matter of common sense that they just can't seem to grasp, clouded as they are by party allegiance steeped in denial and a culture of cancellation.

I've never seen the word reliquary but I love it.

Great writing as always. So thankful this administration is turning over the tables.

SomeMoAZ's avatar

Me too, love learning a new word!

ahavajudge's avatar

Hey Jess, my toddlers push buttons on insta all the time and it looks as though I'm no longer following you and you're private. As a paid subscriber I'd love to see your stories there too, it always pairs nicely with your writing

Jessica Reed Kraus's avatar

I'm sorry! I will open up access to my Instagram soon. X

Great recap of the hearing! So nice to meet you in person there. You looked great and I never would have guessed you ran barefoot to get there on time ๐Ÿ˜†โค๏ธ

Jessica Reed Kraus's avatar

Hahaa! Best compliment Elissa. So nice meeting you! Hope I see you around again.

Idk that's on Pam Bondi failing to follow through. But these executive orders (the assassination) are separate from those files.
