New Evidence in J.F.K. Assassination Compels L.B.J. Attorney, Barr McClellan, To Demand Release of Documents

Monday November 17, 3:35 pm ET

McClellan, Former Attorney for Lyndon Baines Johnson, Petitions Support Of Senate Judiciary Committee and Department of Justice to Investigate New Evidence and to Release All Documents in J.F.K. Assassination Case

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Barr McClellan, an attorney who worked closely with former President Lyndon Baines Johnson, has asked for the support of the Senate Judiciary Committee and the Department of Justice to investigate new evidence of L.B.J.'s involvement in the J.F.K. assassination. McClellan has also asked for the release of hundreds of documents that were withheld by the C.I.A. and F.B.I. from a 1998 investigation conducted by the Assassination Records Review Board.

"The American public has waited forty years to hear the truth about the J.F.K. assassination," said McClellan. "For government agencies to withhold critical evidence and not cooperate with the AARB investigation is a form of obstruction of justice. Under the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act, the public should be granted access to these documents."

According to McClellan and former AARB investigator Doug Horne, hundreds of relevant documents were withheld from the 1998 investigation into the J.F.K. Assassination. They believe that these materials are now in the possession of the National Archives, relocated from sealed files previously controlled by the C.I.A. and F.B.I. Additionally, McClellan has suggested a formal review of the evidence in his book, "Blood, Money & Power: How L.B.J. Killed J.F.K." which clearly shows a direct connection between L.B.J. and the individual involved with the assassination and cover-up.

"At this time we need to see what else is missing and what else would be helpful to presenting the entire truth," McClellan continued. "The Senate Judiciary Committee and the Department of Justice could make the request of the National Archives and should do so."

A press conference is scheduled for Tuesday, November 18, at which time McClellan will make a more specific request for document production, and will detail support for this cause from diverse and highly placed sources. The public and media are invited to attend this special conference at the National Press Club, in Washington, D.C. at 3:00 p.m. EST. "Blood, Money & Power: How L.B.J. Killed J.F.K." by Barr McClellan was released last month by Hannover House. 464 pages, $24.95 sugg. retail, ISBN 0-9637846-2-5. NATIONAL PRESS CLUB, 529 14th Street NW, Washington, DC 20045

Well it did prove that Johnson was part of a murder plot (and indicted by a Texas court of such in the 80s)....

Barr McClellan: In 1961 Henry Marshall was murdered by Mac Wallace, the hitman on the sixth floor. The ruling then was suicide; however, a later grand jury ruled homicide and said Johnson was guilty. He could not be indicted because he had passed on. But with that action, law enforcement got him. That grand jury ruled in 1984 with supporting evidence from Texas Ranger Clint Peoples. Three people were involved - Johnson, Wallace, and Cliff Carter. Billy Sol Estes was the fourth participant and was given immunity.

A Texas Ranger is one who cannot be stampeded-- Capt. Clint Peoples has held more titles in U.S. Law enforcement than any other man. Since 1930 titles include Deputy Sheriff, Special Ranger, Chief Deputy Constable, Chief deputy Sheriff, Texas Hwy. Patrolman. As a Texas Ranger he served as Private, Capt., and Senior Capt. He is currently U.S. Marshall.

The Texas Rangers are the oldest Federal Law enforcement agency in the United States. In 1969 Clint peoples became Senior Capt., in charge of all Rangers, the second man in the history of Texas to hold that command. The other was Rip Ford in 1858.

Texas Ranger Clint Peoples testified under oath that his evidence showed that in 1961 Henry Marshall was murdered by Mac Wallace, (who Barr McClellan proves was the hitman on the sixth floor by finger print evidence). The ruling then was suicide for Henry Marshall; however, a later grand jury ruled homicide and said Johnson was guilty. He could not be indicted because he had passed on. But with that action, law enforcement got him. That grand jury ruled in 1984 with supporting evidence from Texas Ranger Clint Peoples. Three people were involved - Johnson, Wallace, and Cliff Carter. Billy Sol Estes was the fourth participant and was given immunity.

Case cClosed for me unless you think Ranger Peoples a fool or a liar it should be case closed for you too.

MClellan is a kook, and proves nothing.

Peoples was not involved in the JFK Assassination investigation.

I won't debate the JFK part with you since it is an accusation outside of a court of law Barr McClellan.

But Peoples proved in a court of law that Johnson was part of a conspiracy that included Cliff Carter that had Henry Marshall murdered by Mac Wallace for the purpose of stopping an investigation of curroption against Billy Sol Estes.

What say you to this? Was Johnson involved in that concpiracy?

Never heard of it. I'd need more than one man's word, even though that man is a Texas Ranger.

But, it does not follow that, even if Johnson is part of one conspiracy, he's part of some JFK conspiracy.

It is no longer one man's view. It is a Texas grand juries view. That you did not hear that Johnson was indicted for murder in the mid 80s (which I did not know until publicity for this book) says something in and of itself. I would assume when an ex president is inicted for murder it would create a firestorm that does not die down!

As for JFK's murder. You are right it proves nothing. But detective work 101 states that if you have a murder the first thing you do is you check the background of those close to the murder victim. In this case JFK's vice president -Johnson- was indicted as a co-conspirator for murfer and thus would be suspect number 1.

By the way Barr McClellan did not link Mac Wallace (who murdered Henry Marshall on behalf of Johnson) to the the then "unidentified" sixth floor finger print evidence. It was a blind match (the finger print matcher did not know who or where the prints came from). The matcher was A. Nathan Darby, a certified fingerprint expert. Dary has determined that convicted killer Malcolm "Mac" Wallace left a fingerprint in the sixth-floor sniper's nest on the day of the assassination. On the afternoon of the shooting, the authorities found a fingerprint in the sixth-floor window that they were never able to identify. It didn't belong to Oswald, and it didn't belong to any other employee in the building nor to any of the law enforcement personnel who searched the sixth floor. In 1998 fingerprint expert A. Nathan Darby identified the mystery print as belonging to convicted killer Mac Wallace. Darby found a 14-point match between the sixth-floor fingerprint and Wallace's fingerprint.

Darby is a certified Latent Print Examiner with impressive credentials and years of experience. In addition to his training and awards, Darby has testified as an expert witness on fingerprint identification in numerous court cases. Darby states in his notarized affidavit that he found fourteen matches between the previously unidentified fingerprint from the sixth-floor sniper's nest and a fingerprint card that contained the fingerprints of Mac Wallace. It should be pointed out that Darby did not know whose fingerprints were on the fingerprint card. He was asked to compare the fingerprints on the fingerprint card with the unidentified fingerprint from "Box A" from the sixth-floor window. Darby wasn't aware the fingerprint card bore Mac Wallace's fingerprints until after he'd made the identification.

Who was Mac Wallace? Wallace was convicted in a 1951 murder and was suspected in others. He was also linked to the 1961 death of U.S. Department of Agriculture investigator Henry Marshall. Marshall was reportedly close to connecting then-Vice President Lyndon Johnson to fraudulent activities involving businessman and convicted swindler and millionaire Billy Sol Estes. Estes was a key Johnson associate who funneled millions of dollars into a slush fund for LBJ.

Estes alleged in 1984 that LBJ ordered the killings of Marshall and President Kennedy, among others, and that Wallace carried them out. A grand jury decided that same year that Henry Marshall was murdered as a result of a conspiracy involving then-Vice President Johnson, his aide Clifton Carter, and Mac Wallace. No charges were possible since all three men were by then deceased.

DA's have convicted men for murder on less proof. For me at least it is case closed.

I would have convicted Johnson of murder by conspiracy if I sat on a jury on that evidence alone.

You don't even have to get into details of magic bullets, etc anymore. Wallace was proved to be on the 6th floor at the time of the assasination of JFK by finger print match. Wallace was an ex marine and Carter/Johnson associate who had a prior conviction of murder and was indicted for Henry Marshall's murder - both murders on behalf of Carter and Johnson. The first murder conviction brought no jail time for Wallace.

There is one man left on the face of the earth that knows the truth and he still ain't talking. His name is Doctor Cyril Wecht. He knows more than anyone.

Who is Dr. Cyril Wecht?

OK. Whatever you want to believe.

For me, Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin (Oswald's gun, Oswald worked in the building, he was IN the building when Kennedy was shot), and Ruby killed him because he was distraught.

But, losing sleep either way, at this point, is a waste of time.

Oh, well. I guess if a convicted liar like Billy Sol Estes says that Johnson ordered the killings, that proves it.

That fingerprint evidence proves that the killer shots came from the 6th floor. Wallace was there. Oswald was there. Case closed.

No it doesn't. Oswald's gun proves that the killer shots cam from the 6th floor.

But, I'm not going to argue this with you, as neither of us is going to convince the other.

Estes said so and a Grand Jury agreed. If a legendary lawman like Peoples also agreed with this (his investigation over decades) what am I to think? As a reasonable person I have to weigh what is presented. On the scale Estes bad character is weighed with People's evidence and the scale tips toward indictement. That is all I can say. Sure it is not a conviction of guilty but it is as close as we can get and in my eyes leaves little if no reasonable doubt. That's all.

OK fair enough. I will put it to you this way. The gun and Oswald's prints were found on the 6th floor. A man with sterling finger print credentials linkes also the print of Wallace to the sniper's nest (a 14 point match).

So we have linked via fingerprint evidence 2 people to the sniper's nest. Both ex-marines. One both a convicted murder and indicted murder who worked for Clark/Johnson.

Reasonable doubt is gone for me.

Something else about the John Birch Society:

One of the first things JFK did after taking office was to approve the firing and forced retirement of MG Edwin A. Walker as the CG of the 24th ID in Augsburg. That happened in April 61. The story is well documented in the Army Times of the period and other publications. Walker was in line for his third star and a Corps Command in Texas when he was relieved of command for "preaching pro-blue" (anti-Red). Supposedly, what was going on in the command was that he was requiring all officers and non-coms to review John Birch Society material. The story first broke in the tabloid The Overseas Weekly.
Eventually, Walker ended up in the Dallas area and so hating JFK that he refused to accept his retirement check for a year. Almost exactly two years after he was relieved, a bullet missed his head by about a foot as he was doing his taxes in April 63. The official story is that Oswald fired the shot to prove something. Some believe his "handlers" were testing his trustworthiness. I've read some accounts that puts Walker and Oswald (or someone with an Oswald ID) at the same meetings or gatherings in the months leading up to Nov 22nd.
