"Briggs affidavit"

Briggs produced a mendacious affidavit, claiming to have searched all the CIA's files for mention of Edwin P.Wilson's activities after 1971, and stating that there was only one reference, in 1972. In fact this was very far from the truth, as he had had at least 80 meetings, and numerous less formal engagements. When the deception was exposed, around 20 years later, he was ruled immune from prosecution by judge Lee Rosenthal.
