Episode 281 Bobby Baker Part 15 Don Reynolds Part 4 A Deeper Look Into Don Reynolds

This is Part 15 of the mini-series that covers the story of Bobby Baker. It's also the final episode of the Bobby Baker series and the final episode on Don Reynolds. It's a deeper dive into Reynolds and includes the insightful thoughts brought to us by his nephew Bob Nelson who wrote a book entitled LBJ's Mortal Wound: The Don Reynolds Story. This mini-series is part of a larger series covering Billy Sol Estes, Mac Wallace, Bobby Baker and other members of Johnson's Texas inner circle. All of these men were quite intertwined around Johnson at the time of the assassination. They were involved in circumstances that were closing in on Johnson too and that provided him great motive in the killing of the President. The story is extraordinary. Once these and other scandals were revealed during investigation by the Senate Rule and Administration committee's investigation and the work of senator John Williams, the scandal threatened to take the Vice President down politically. Perhaps, if the tragic events of November 22nd had not occurred, these events might have sent Johnson to jail as other indiscretions were also being investigated.

Rumors of Johnson's involvement in the assassination began to swirl almost immediately after the President's murder and there is a defined school of thought within the JFK assassination research community that staunchly believes in Johnson's involvement. His involvement in both the assassination and its cover up.
