The Tosh Files: Luna Task Force Might Want to Revisit Claims Intelligence Agencies Tried to Bury
As Rep. Anna Paulina Luna’s new task force continues its investigation into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, one name has emerged as a key adviser: JFK researcher Jefferson Morley. But if the task force is truly interested in uncovering what government agencies knew—and when they knew it—it cannot afford to ignore the most consequential witnesses still living: Robert “Tosh” Plumlee, is available for media interviews.
- Contradictory FBI records raise questions about Plumlee’s credibility attacks.
- Released JFK files appear to corroborate key Plumlee claims.
- CIA-linked media narratives allegedly portrayed Plumlee as paranoid (see BIS Letterhead memo).
- Separate Roselli bus locker documents cannot both be correct (see image).
- Luna task force may revisit long-dismissed intelligence allegations.

For decades, Plumlee has maintained that he served as a CIA-affiliated co-pilot on a mission connected to November 22, 1963. According to his account, he transported an abort team intended to stop an operation already in motion in Dealey Plaza. If true, his testimony suggests elements within the intelligence community possessed foreknowledge of events surrounding the assassination.
Target of JFK Cover-up Smear
The story becomes even more compelling when examining the government’s long-running efforts to discredit him. Over the years, both FBI and CIA records have painted Plumlee as unreliable, paranoid, or prone to fabrication. Yet many of the very documents released by the government raise serious questions about those attempts.
One example involves the notorious bus locker incident connected to Chicago mob figure Johnny Roselli. In one FBI record, often identified as PX 72-73, agents reportedly acknowledge that Plumlee led CIA personnel to a bus station locker containing approximately $15,000 belonging to Roselli. The document states that agency personnel observed the cash and removed it.
Yet another document, AQ 26-14044, appears designed to undermine Plumlee’s credibility by claiming local authorities accompanied him to the same locker and found nothing more than an old pair of binoculars. Both accounts cannot simultaneously be true. The contradiction raises an obvious question: if one document is inaccurate, who is actually responsible for the falsehood?
Equally intriguing is a document discovered among released assassination files on the letterhead of Broadcast Information Services, Inc., listing offices in Denver, Philadelphia, and St. Louis. The document reproduces comments from KBTV Channel 9 reporter Ed Sardella that align closely with a narrative portraying Plumlee as unstable and paranoid. Most strikingly, the document prominently identifies the “CLIENT” as “C.I.A.”
Was BIS acting on behalf of the CIA? Was the agency actively monitoring, shaping, or promoting media narratives concerning Plumlee? If not, what exactly does that designation mean?
At a moment when Congress claims to be pursuing transparency on the JFK assassination, these unanswered questions deserve scrutiny. The story is not merely about what happened in Dallas. It is about whether intelligence agencies spent decades attacking a witness whose claims may have been far closer to the truth than the public was led to believe.
