15. The "Niagara Falls Reporter"?

Sep 2014

Wouldn't story like this, if true, be in MSM such as the NY Times, Chicago Tribune, LA Times, WaPo?

According to the OP, Charles McWhorter was the one who told Nixon
"who heard the story from one of the jazz musicians traveling with Satchmo"

Why would one of the jazz musicians traveling with Sathmo risk getting Louie Armstrong in trouble by telling a Nixon aide about that?....Sounds very fishy to me.

Three POUNDS of pot?
..If it had been three OUNCES, I might be more willing to believe it
Three pounds of pot is what drug dealers carry, not jazz musicians

Consider the source....Roger Stone.
