Somebody wanting to expand this stub could seemingly find lots to say beyond Thorkelson's "isolationism". One example, a quote from The Man Who Would Be Hitler: William Dudley Pelley and the Silver Legion, by Suzanne G. Ledeboer, in California History, Vol. 65, No. 2 (Jun., 1986), pp. 126-136:
"The trial began on July 28 in Indianapolis, with Charles A. Lindbergh and Congressman Jacob Thorkelson subpoenaed as witnesses for the defense. Thorkelson, from Montana, had used his franking privilege to mail Nazi propaganda for George Sylvester Viereck, a German intelligence agent. There is no direct evidence that he performed the same service for Pelley, but he had consulted and met with him."
