CHRIS FARRELL, Director, Investigations and Research, Judicial Watch, Author, "Exiled Emissary: George H. Earle III, Soldier, Sailor, Diplomat, Governor, Spy," @JudicialWatch

• How did an independently wealthy businessman from Philadelphia become a leading figure in the Democratic Party, governor, diplomat (don’t need to be capitalized) and spy?
• George H. Earle III takes his uncles yacht, offers it as a Naval Reserve vessel at the onset of World War I, and patrols the Atlantic coast for submarines, later winning the Navy cross
• During the inner-War period, Earle becomes an internationally ranked polo player, eventually backing Franklin DelanoRoosevelt for President in 1932, who later appointed him as U.S. ambassador to Austria from 1933-35
• Chris Farrell: A remarkable governor who fought for civil rights and loathed communism
• What if George Earle had run and won the Democratic nomination in 1940?
• Earle arrived in North Africa at the onset of Operation Torch and bumped into his old Polo friend, George Patton
• In January 1943, when FDR meets with Churchill in Casablanca, Morocco, the President declares that the U.S. will only accept Germany’s unconditional surrender - Which resonates within the officer core throughout the Nazi Reich
• The German military’s top intelligence officer comes to Earle in Istanbul with a proposition: In exchange for Hitler and his inner circle, the allies would sign an armistice with Germany and declare war on the Soviet Union - FDR does not respond
• In March 1945, Earle returned to Washington D.C. to meet with the President, after-which it became evident that the whole White House had “gone pink” [Communist]
• Earle threatens to go public about Soviet war crimes, at which point FDR banishes him to the Samoan islands
• Farrell: Where is General Milley’s head in all this?
