To answer Mark Wilson's questions: I have not seen any evidence that TJ himself was aware that anyone was having coerced sex with Sally Hemings. He did spend "quite a lot of time in his library reading and writing" but until the very end of his life he was out in the fields and shops supervising the slaves for hours every day. He personally supervised the nail factory. Because Herb continues to hammer Dan Jordan on the charge of suppressing Ken Wallenborn's minority report, one would think that Dan has Dr. Wallenborn bound, gagged, and locked in a box in the basement of the mansion. In fact, his minority report is posted on the Monticello website, with a response from the staff historian, Cinder Stanton.
