08: The Conspiracy

The House Select Committee on Assassinations picks up where Church
left off. Nearly four decades after those hearings, Nina visits
Robert Blakey, HSCA's Chief Counsel, to try to understand why the
FBI never looked into a conspiracy to kill King. Blakey tells her,
'I've been waiting 40 years for someone to ask me these questions.'
The answers go back to St. Louis, and the COINTELPRO operations
against Nina's father's clients, including Howard Mechanic. To
