Historiographic Anarchy
In 1978, current vice president Joe Biden accused the American Intelligence Community engaging in dozens of cover-ups involving crimes such as espionage and murder to protect national security. His allegations were reported on page 8 of the next's day New York Times and, with the exception of a reference in James Bamford's The Puzzle Palace, promptly forgotten despite Biden's multiple presidential and and vice-presidential campaigns.
In addition to the political hay that could have been against him, the continued silence over this allegations is puzzling in light of the counterintelligence view that one should never give up in pursuing spies and lack of statu[t]e of limitation on murder and espionage.
