Забытая история: Трумэн прикрыл расследования прокурора Джона Рогге, чтобы не подставлять бывших коллег. Они по-тихому ушли из Конгресса.
In 1946, Mr. Rogge conducted an investigation in Germany to gather evidence for a trial of pro-Nazis in the United States. He uncovered what he said was evidence linking American fascists to the Nazi Government. In a report submitted to Tom Clark, the Attorney General, Mr. Rogge said that 24 Congressmen either collaborated with or were used by a Nazi agent. The report was not released, and Mr. Rogge was dismissed from the Justice Department when he disclosed details of it in speeches. Mr. Clark said the disclosures of the report violated department policy. https://www.nytimes.com/1981/03/23/opinion/o-john-rogge-77-anti-nazi-activist.html
Maddow: Rogge said he had been told before he left for Germany, that upon his return, the Justice Department would make his report public as an official document. But that is not at all what happened. When Rogge turned in his report, the Attorney General then brought it to the White House and shared it directly with President Harry Truman. Hart: Truman essentially decrees that this report should never see the light of day. It is simply too explosive. He orders this report to be classified as secret and essentially forbids Rogge from ever publishing or ever even discussing the contents of what I would argue is perhaps the most explosive political report of the 20th century. Maddow: The Attorney General -- future Supreme Court Justice Tom Clark -- and President Harry Truman had the report sealed. They buried it. https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc-podcast/rachel-maddow-presents-ultra/transcript-ultra-vires-n1300885
