{"product_id":"the-franklin-cover-up","title":"The Franklin Cover-Up","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe shut-down of Omaha, Nebraska's Franklin Community Federal Credit Union, raided by federal agencies in November 1988, sent shock waves all the way to Washington, D.C. $40 million was missing. The credit union's manager: Republican Party activist Lawrence E. \"Larry\" King, Jr., behind whose rise to fame and riches stood powerful figures in Nebraska politics and business, and in the nation's capital.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the face of opposition from local and state law enforcement, from the FBI, and from the powerful \u003ci\u003eOmaha World-Herald\u003c\/i\u003e newspaper, a special Franklin committee of the Nebraska Legislature launched its own probe. What looked like a financial swindle, soon exploded into a hideous tale of drugs, Iran-Contra money-laundering, a nationwide child abuse ring, and ritual murder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNineteen months later, the legislative committee's chief investigator died - suddenly, and violently, like more than a dozen other people linked to the Franklin case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor John DeCamp knows the Franklin scandal from the inside. In 1990, his \"DeCamp memo\" first publicly named the alleged high-ranking abusers. Today, he is attorney for two of the abuse victims.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing documentation never before made public, DeCamp lays bare not only the crimes, but the cover-up - a textbook case of how dangerous the corruption of institutions of government, and the press, can be. In its sweep and in what it portends for the nation, the Franklin cover-up followed the ugly precedent of the Warren Commission.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John W.
