“Oswald did it....The End.”
Sen. Richard Russell, most conservative member of the Warren Commission, was openly skeptical about the single bullet theory, or that Oswald acted alone. It’s reported that he wanted to publish a dissent to the Warren Report, but wasn’t permitted.
Doesn't matter, that's not evidence.
I would alter that statement and say, “Oswald was somehow involved” but did not do it.
These documents were “scrubbed” a long time ago.
We are not going to find out anything new from this release.
There will be some juicy tidbits here and there that will lead to nowhere but there will be nothing conclusive and most certainly nothing that will force the Warren Commission findings to be dismissed.
Any “student” of this case cannot but be fascinated by the Sherlock Holmes/Agatha Christie/Hardey Boys/Nancy Drew /Phillip Marlowe/Sam Spade/Hercule Poirot nature and stories from the JFK assassination. It is the single greatest murder mystery of all time.
Any person who still clings to the official story is hopelessly niave.
It’s not that we want to believe in conspiracies, (though since Watergate we are more gullible to these sensational stories) it’s that there are too many holes in the story and too many dead witnesses from 1963-66.
The truth is to be found not just in medical forensics but centrally, it can be found it Oswald’s personal history and one of his Operators - Mr. George de Mohrenschildt who was, himself a small fish in the network.
Since that day in Dallas many people have turned this sad event into a circus and some have posited theories that are outlandish. From sewer drain shots, poison umbrella darts and even the Secret Service agent who shot JFK from within the limousine. We have been sent far of the scented path by charlatans, profiteers and agents who remain in the shadows.
The truth seems to be that this “hit” was a combo job by several very professional sources.
Was it really LBJ and Hoover, or the CIA? Was it a “lone Red nut” who pretended to be so? We do not know the truth yet and it will not show up in the upcoming release of documents.
Some people involved are still alive though not many.
At some point, probably after 2036 the truth MAY be known but don’t bet on it for if it was a coup d’etat or just a “renegade’, “splinter” group of agents working in hand with Mafia dons Marcelo or Sam Giacana or Trificante the realization would be too much for the ignorant American electorate to stomach and the house of cards might come tumbling down...
That is correct. Russell forced Warren to allow him a footnote explaining his belief. When the Report was published Russell’s footnote was not there. Just another example of the WC suppressing information and contrary testimony.
Hale Boggs had doubts as well.
