When Danny Casolaro sold Computer Age magazine he thought the purchaser would offer him a job and keep him on. This did not happen. He now decided to turn to journalism. As the Netflix film American Conspiracy: The Octopus Murders notes, he began to talk a lot to Bill Hamilton about the INSLAW case. By the time this happened, around the spring of 1990, things had changed in the status of that case. Judge Bason had not been reappointed and in September of 1989 a Senate report had been issued after about 18 months of inquiry. It was commissioned by Sam Nunn of Georgia. (Senate Staff Report, p. 14) This investigation interviewed over 50 subjects, reviewed tens of thousands of pages of documents, and served both document and deposition subpoenas. That report disagreed with Judge Bason. They found no proof of DOJ conspiracy to ruin INSLAW or to steal PROMIS. (ibid, p. 15, p. 50) I could not recall any mention of this report in the current Netflix film directed by Zachary Trietz and written by Christian Hansen.
