Scientology Lies

The day after being questioned by FBI agents at the US Courthouse, Michael Meisner flies to Los Angeles and gives a full report of the incident to Guardian officials. "All parties recognized," in the words of U.S. attorneys who later described the moment in a Stipulation of Evidence, "that the highest priority lay in stopping the FBI investigation before it could connect the defendant Wolfe and Mr. Meisner to the Church of Scientology and thereby expose other officials of the Guardian's Office who had been involved in the burglaries, thefts, and buggings ..." A cover story is devised and Wolfe is briefed. He will be arrested 18 days later.
