Kennedy? This indicates CIA foreknowledge about that assassination.</p><p> </p><p>At 88 years old, Robert &ldquo;Tosh&rdquo; Plumlee is stepping forward with a firsthand account that could fundamentally reshape how we understand one of America&rsquo;s most scrutinized events. In Deep Cover Shallow Graves, co-authored with bestselling writer Ralph Pezzullo, Plumlee reveals that he co-piloted a CIA-linked mission transporting a Pentagon &ldquo;abort team&rdquo; to Dallas the morning of the assassination&mdash;tasked with stopping a plot already in motion.</p><p> </p><p><a href=\"https://trineday.myshopify.com/products/deep-cover-shallow-graves\"><strong>CLICK HERE TO LEARN ABOUT TOSH PLUMLEE&rsquo;S NEW BOOK, DEEP COVER, SHALLOW GRAVES</strong></a></p><p> </p>\n    <figure\n        class=\"release-content-image release-content-image--contained release-content-image--align-center\"\n    >\n        <a class=\"release-content-image__link\"\n           id=\"image-ce7fea65-1707-4e5a-baad-1e795c65c6ea\"\n           href=\"https://trineday.myshopify.com/products/deep-cover-shallow-graves\"\n           data-id=\"ce7fea65-1707-4e5a-baad-1e795c65c6ea\"\n           data-track=\"Story Image View\"\n           data-placement=\"content\"\n                            target=\"_blank\"\n                rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\n                       style=\"width: 55.69%\"\n        >\n            <img\n                class=\"release-content-image__image\"\n                src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/ce7fea65-1707-4e5a-baad-1e795c65c6ea/-/format/auto/\"\n                alt=\"\"\n                            >\n        </a>\n        <figcaption class=\"release-content-image__caption\"></figcaption>\n    </figure>\n<p>&nbsp;</p><ul class=\"release-content-list release-content-list--bulleted release-content-list--align-inherit\"><li><span>Plumlee was in Dealey Plaza on 11/22/63 on a covert mission to stop the killing of John F.

Weather complications forced a split landing, but Plumlee ultimately made his way to Dealey Plaza&mdash;not as a spectator, but as a man on a mission.</p><p> </p><p>Positioned on the South Knoll, Plumlee claims he was actively scanning for shooter teams when the motorcade approached. Then came the shots.</p><p> </p><p>What he describes next is not theory&mdash;it&rsquo;s trauma. Plumlee recounts hearing multiple gunshots from different directions, including one from behind him on the South Knoll that he says struck Kennedy in the head. It&rsquo;s a memory that has haunted him for more than six decades.</p><p> </p><p>But this isn&rsquo;t just a late-in-life revelation. Plumlee says he disclosed the existence of the abort team to the FBI in 1964 and even drew a map detailing shooter positions and his own location. That interview&mdash;and the map&mdash;disappeared. He re-drew it years later and it is now available.</p><p> </p><p>This is more than another JFK theory. It&rsquo;s the testimony of a man who says he was there, armed with orders, allies, and a mission that failed.</p><p> </p><p>Plumlee and Pezzullo are available to discuss this explosive account, the buried evidence, and what it means for the unanswered questions that still surround Dealey Plaza.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Relevant Article(s):</strong></p><p> </p><p><strong>OPTIONAL Q&amp;A:</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><ol class=\"release-content-list release-content-list--numbered release-content-list--align-inherit\"><li><span>What exactly was the mission of the Pentagon &ldquo;abort team,&rdquo; and who authorized it?</span></li><li><span>Why was Johnny Roselli included on the flight, and what did he know that made him essential?</span></li><li><span>Can you walk us through the timeline from landing in Dallas to taking your position in Dealey Plaza?</span></li><li><span>What did you personally see and hear in the moments leading up to and during the shooting of John F.
