As stated, the Venona Project documents released in '95 was specific enough for "names, dates, places, and deeds"...
Information nor available at the time of the reversals...
Here's the problem with the people who kneejerk McCarthy negatively...
Were there false accusations made?...Yes...
Was there evidence that didn't pan out?...Yes...
But what the naysayers do is try to show that it was ALL just some fabricated hunt for beings which did not exist...
But that is so false is hurts me to see people still believe it...Communism WAS infiltrating US politics...McCarthy DID make the public aware of it...McCarthy DID attempt to stop it...
You may not like HOW he did it...You may not like how brazen he was in doing it...
But to think he was going after ghosts is completely a myth...
