Is it just me - or are the DemocRATS lousy at investigating anything or anybody?

I’ve never seen such a bunch of bungling idiots in my life. And, now it’s getting worse, with the current bunch in power.

According to Mann’s testimony years later to congressional investigators, Rusk ordered the embassy to shut down any investigation in Mexico that might “confirm or refute rumors of Cuban involvement in the assassination.” No reason was given for the order, the ambassador said.

If Politico wanted to do some more relevant research, they'd be digging for answers about Nidal Hasan, Benghazi, Fast & Furious, and countless other government shielded actions...

Funny timing for this article.

Currently reading "The Third Bullet" by Stephen Hunter, a fictional version of what might have gone down. Fairly plausible so far, a third of the way through maybe.

I think he was found to have been drunk everynight at Rosa’s Cantina, with some dark eyed beauty by name of Felina.

It is not altogether certain that 'the guy' in Mexico was Oswald. Not to mention that the theory that there were "Two Oswalds" refuses to go away.

All a reasonable man can say 52 years after the event is that the government report is apparently not true. How it's not true, or what is true, i.e., who killed Kennedy, is not available.

Kennedy is now a martyred hero. IMNVHO, his Presidency does not justify this.

The better question is "Was Oswald in Mexico City?"

Who was impersonating Oswald in the Saturday call?

Why did CIA twice order DFS to arrest Sylvia Duran?

What was Barry Soetero doing in Pakistan in 1981?

The latter has been sanitized by John Brennan dba Analysis Corp the current DCI and a likely convert--

--who has declared jihad a legitimate religious tenet.

Shenon is doing a Shiny Things for Baby while the lame duck crypto-Islamist plots the mother of all false flag attacks on CONUS--

--because the Twelfth Imam can play golf while the world burns.

The whole thing stinks to high heaven but I believe that Oswald did act alone.

Now it would not surprise me if he was part of a larger group, maybe Cubans, maybe the mafia.

The one thing I think the media has done a poor job on is Jack Ruby. I once knew a guy who knew Ruby very well. The one thing he was sure of was that Ruby was much heavier into organized crime than has been admitted.

Still after all is said and done, I think Oswald acted alone.

He was. If any two people in Washington know anything it's a conspiracy. Do you really think if anyone else were involved in the JFK assassination they'd have kept their mouths shut all these years?

Plenty of witnesses saw him (if you want to take their word. At the Cuban embassy, he even applied for a passport In Mexico. Now, most of the witnesses say it was him, there is perhaps one who could not say he was positive it was him.

Also, some remember talking to him on the bus.

Lots of people have came out and told what happened. It gets swept under the rug because Lyndon Johnson is the “Great Society” hero. You can’t have one of the greatest Democrat liberal presidents being known as a conspirator to murder the symbol of Democrat Camelot.

Back in up to mid 70s, former FBI agent (etc.) Hugh C. McDonald said he traveled 50,000 miles thru 10 countries in an attempt to track down "the assassin" (Saul) who killed JFK...based upon several photos of a man id'd as "Saul" ...

CIA Deputy Director Richard Helms signed an affidavit that the covert photo of "Saul" were taken Oct. 4, 1963 outside of the Russian Embassy. The photo was intro'd in the Warren Commission as Exhibit #237. It was relevant to the Commission because, per McDonald:

"On the morning of November 22, 1963, before the assassination, a copy of that picture was received by the FBI in Dallas, Texas. The picture was identified as possibly being Lee Harvey Oswald. The FBI agents in Dallas knew Lee Harvey Oswald and they knew that the photograph forwarded them was not a picture of Oswald. At the time this error in identity did not seem important. However, things changed radically after the killing of President Kennedy and the apprehension of Oswald for that crime." (McDonald, as told to Geoffrey Bocca, Appointment in Dallas: The Final Solution to the Assassination of JFK, 1975, p. 54)

The book references "secret FBI reports" where it appeared that three pictures of this "mystery man were shown to a Mexican national, Mr. Pedro Gutierrez Valencia. They were shown to him hoping that he could identify the man in the picture. He could not...The unidentified man in the photograph became important as a possible co-conspirator of Oswald..." (p. 56)

The book publishes the cropped pictures of "Saul" (pp. 53, 55, 57).
See: "Saul" (Warning: This also includes graphic autopsy photos of President Kennedy)
Two FBI photos are here: "Saul" in Mexico City

The facial features are similar to the "Identi-Kit" Model II composite of "Saul" compiled by Hugh McDonald based upon his memory of the 1972 meeting with him as the Westbury Hotel in London. (p. 59 of the book)

McDonald claimed that this 1972 "contact" told him Oswald fired 3 shots; himself, 2. And that he was in a position to see Oswald at his position...and was ready for some law enforcement agent to return fire toward Oswald, at which point he was prepared to take out Oswald himself.

From the details, McDonald claims the other assassin fired from a second floor window of the County Records Building. [The link above pinpoints it as a corner room]

I've heard other plausible accounts of an additional shooter from the picket fence behind the grassy knoll...and even one account of a shooter being in a ground-level/below ground-level storm drain.

(It wouldn't surprise me, either, if one hired assassin wasn't told about another on the scene)

If he was told this, why didn't he arrest him on the spot?
