Description

Frank Abbott Sweeney Jr may be the Forrest Gump of American white supremacy in the 20th century. Starting with a failed bank robbery for the American Nazi Party in the 60s, Frank stumbled his way into being an inconsequential side character in major historical events for decades.

Great series, phenomenal episode! I am not sure if I remember Falcon and The Snowman being based on a true story, but I am so thrilled THIS story made this WEIRD connection to one of my favorite spy movies of all time. If you haven't seen it, it's worth a watch and really close to the story told in this epsiode. Only they made margaritas and not Mai Tais. Ha! Molly, from one Virginian to another...thank you for the work you do.
