These are the keywords you are interested in: The Finders, FBI, CIA memo to NBC, North Korea visa. It has been my experience that the more effort one puts into sharing something like this with a stranger on the internet - the more easily it is dismissed. You've got a few hundred pages of declassified documents waiting for you, do the work or don't - it really depends on the sincerity of your "citation needed".

I honestly have no idea how truthful any of this is. If experience has taught me anything, it's that conspiracy theories like this are largely bullshit. Thank you for at least providing me somewhere to start though.

huh, you'd think that the last few years would have sufficiently chastened the kind of people who reflexively characterize things as "conspiracy theories"... :)

No, not really.

Yeah, you're right - it was definitely bat soup and Adam Schiff will be releasing that evidence of watersport hijinks any day now.
