Hidden in Plain Sight - Did a Secret Service Agent Accidentally Shoot JFK?
Medium True Crime ^ | Oct. 8, 2017 | Bonar Menninger

early 1989, I was working as a business reporter in Washington, D.C., and interviewing a private investigator for a story about his company. At the end of our conversation, he casually mentioned he’d done some research into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

“Oh yeah?” I said, in an ironic, indifferent way. “So who killed him?” He said: “Well, I think this gunsmith in Baltimore, a guy named Howard Donahue, figured it out.” The private eye showed me a magazine article from 1977 and as I read it, my skepticism began to fade. Within a week, I was heading to nearby Towson, Maryland, to meet Donahue in person.

Donahue’s Dealey Plaza odyssey began 21 years earlier. The World War II veteran was a firearms specialist who’d testified as an expert witness in multiple shooting cases. He was also a well-known marksman. That’s why he’d been recruited to take part in a CBS News reenactment of the shooting in the spring of 1967.

The network wanted to know if Lee Harvey Oswald’s Italian military-surplus, bolt-action rifle really could have been fired three times with two hits on a moving target in less than six seconds. Donahue proved that it could. Of the 11 shooters participating in the experiment, only Donahue exceeded Oswald’s performance by scoring three hits in 4.8 seconds, well under the 5.6-second maximum....

This is a fascinating article on another theory about how JFK may have been killed. It makes more sense than a second shooter on a grassy knoll or that Oswald could have made two hits from a 6th floor window....

But it doesn't disprove the fact that Epstein killed himself.

He was killed by the CIA, and it wasn’t an accident.

So you’re saying that if Secret Service accidently killed JFK, they may have also accidently snook into Epstein’s cell and accidently killed him.

Why could there not have been two assassins, independent of each other from two separate orgs that wanted to kill JFK?

Dealy Plaza was a good choice for the crime, and the MOB wanted him dead..................

We know who. But who gave him support? Russia? CIA? Cuba? Mafia?

Was it just a guy with a gun who goes up to a window and shoots? Or was there a network behind him which helped him?

Oswald killed JFK.

Oswald's first shot missed, his second shot hit Kennedy in the back and the shot that took the right side of his head off may have come from an accidental discharge of the rifle held by a secret service stationed in the trailing limousine.......

I hate how articles are written in tease fashion.

Just say it.

I’m not clicking through.

Is the theory that in response to gunshots, a secret service agent accidentally shot Kennedy?

After 3 years of hearing how evil and dishonest the swamp is...why was Oswald shot as soon as he stepped out of the building? And ..by a swamp creature and why was the shooter Epsteined in jail too?🤔All conspiracies are valid in my opinion!!

Woody Allen contemplated a similar scenario in some movie when he was funny, with bank robberies - two gangs, one led by Allen, trying to rob at the same appointed hour.

This year should be a quiet one for the “shadow government killed JFK” theories.

The lefties don’t want people making a connection to the current deep state soft coup.

Could have been, I don't know.........Read the entire article and make your own judgment.

If you have never been to Dallas and saw where Oswald was allegedly sitting, the sixth floor thing seems to be a stretch.

If you have, you’d know that it was an easy shot to take.. all of them

There was a book written about 15 to 20 years ago that explains how this happened with the SS agent being upset when the limo accelerated. Explains why the secrecy for the last 50 years.
