As somebody who watches a *ton* of true crime shows, this Joe Scarborough "cold case" made me https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Thinking face" aria-label="Emoji: Thinking face"> so I went down the https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐇" title="Rabbit" aria-label="Emoji: Rabbit"> hole.

Turns out it& #39;s originally a very left-wing conspiracy theory. And it has legs.

First, from very left-wing DailyKos in 2016: https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2016/12/21/1613261/-What-Really-Happened-to-Lori-Klausutis-Everything-Joe-Scarborough-Does-NOT-Want-Viewers-To-Know">https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2...

Next, from left-wing Daily Kos again, this time in 2006, with a *lot* more questions like

- Medical examiner had his licensed revoked... twice?
- Might not have had a license?
- Weird payments?
- Lies from Joe about her medical history? https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2006/7/15/227606/-">https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2...

Stories from 2001, like this one, make the story more suspicious:

- She died of a heart condition?
- But she had a huge head wound?
- She belonged to the track club, ran 8Ks?
- Joe had just resigned Congress over infidelity+divorce?

From a paper in Florida in 2001:

- "Klausutis& #39; death was caused by her head striking the edge of a desk in the office"
- The ME report only says she wasn& #39;t hit by an object, nothing about if she could have been pushed.
- But ruled accident?

There& #39;s a lot more if you dig through http://archive.org"> http://archive.org , and this Joe Scarborough "cold case" has more weird questions than half the True Crime shows on TV do.

I& #39;m not saying *he* did anything.

But if this was a documentary, you& #39;d believe she was murdered by the end.
