JFK Assassination Documents to be released this year

Surely Oswald could not have got the shots off in time.

CBS News proved it could be done in 1967.

Why did he not shoot when he was heading towards him?

It would have been a harder shot due to the steeper downward angle and it would have been easier for the Secret Service to spot him and return fire.

What about the magic bullet?

It's not magic. People try to make it impossible by not showing the bullet end on and by ignoring the actual positions of JFK and Connally. Modern forensics experts have repeatedly shown that it doesn't require magic.

Faking the bullet fragments would require that the autopsy doctors be part of the Conspiracy, but Jackie Kennedy choose where the autopsy was done.

Next they'll be trying to convince us that Trump wasn't shot dead at Butler Farm last year - and that the bloke who stood up with a bit of fake blood on his ear wasn't the body double, when we all know what's REALLY going on. We're not stupid.

That might have been the plan, however you would need to have Oswald on the same floor as the rifle for it to work. LHO, in what fragments of his police statement have emerged, made a strong case for his being in the lunch room at around 12.20. So if he was still there at 12.30 you could hardly walk in and dispatch him.

So you're saying the Conspiracy completely ignored an essential part of their plan? How did these incompetent bumblers pull it off?

Framing a patsy requires that the patsy have no alibi. Any competent conspiracy would have to lure Oswald to the 6th floor before the shooting and keep everyone else off of the 6th floor. Luring might be possible, but how could they guarantee no one saw the Lure with Oswald? And how do they keep other people from accidentally walking in during events? How do they keep anyone inside or outside the Book Depository from noticing the 5 or 6 man team of Conspirators entering or leaving the building?

Even then there are serious problems. Faking a suicide shot via rifle is not so easy.

Oswald owned a pistol.

And using the logic of Shakespeare's Macbeth: if killing a national leader looks suspicious when it happens under the protection of his successor, then that applies x2 when the alleged assassin is killed in the immediate aftermath.

A competent Conspiracy would want a dead Oswald lying next to the rifle. But Oswald was not killed in the immediate aftermath. He wasn't even killed when he tried to shoot the police that arrested him for JD Tippet's murder. Oswald was arrested before 2pm on Friday and killed shortly after 11am on Sunday. That's nearly two full days later and Oswald was allowed to talk to the press during that time.

If there was a Conspiracy, they were a pack of bumbling idiots.

The intial report I read about her involvement phrased it as she wanted to reinterview the Warren Commission and all witnesses involved in the JFK death inquiry. She was immediately criticized for apparently not knowing all (most?) original witnesses and participants are deceased.
i quipped that maybe she wanted to call in the cast of Oliver Stone's film "JFK" (not that it would help, lol.)
Anyway, beware of the New York Post (pretty much a tabloid). But this is the newest info on the JFK investigation from the States.
