Yes, though I think that story was floating around for decades even if it wasn’t in the Warren Report. Probably those witnesses repeated their testimony to the researchers or the House committee.
But even if you consider that credible, there’s still a mountain of evidence that Oswald was involved somehow. It was his rifle found on the 6th floor, and he was witnessed bringing the “curtain rods” to work that day in a brown paper parcel which was conveniently the size and shape of a broken down rifle. He also used the same rifle to shoot at General Walker and confessed as much in his own diary entries. And he left his wedding ring at home that day along with a “good bye” note to his wife.
I don’t know if he fired the shots that killed JFK or not, but he was definitely involved and he’s probably the best place to start looking for links to other people who might have been involved.
Oswald was deeply involved—as the designated patsy.
They needed one since CIA guys (who I named in an earlier post) had no interest in being executed for the deed.
While E. Howard Hunt was responsible for onsite logistics it was James Jesus Angleton who “managed” Oswald and got him to the right place at the right time.
One amusing Oswald tidbit was when he asked for a specific attorney. That attorney was a well known Communist attorney, John Abt I believe. The reason it was amusing was because Oswald (as part of his counterintelligence duties) wrote to the Communist Party USA and asked to start a Fair Play for Cuba chapter in Dallas. They rejected him but he did it anyway.
The Abt request means that Oswald still believed he had to maintain his cover and that Angleton would get him out of the mess.
It was not until the instant that Ruby shot him that Oswald figured out he had been betrayed—and he knew Ruby personally so he knew exactly what happened.
Ruby was told to do the deed and that LBJ would give him a pardon—another betrayal.
Both Oswald and Ruby were hung out to dry.
