TERRY ADAMS SAID:
Should FBI Agent James Hosty be solely blamed for the murder of John F. Kennedy?
The fact that Hosty did not take his job seriously enough to, at least, verify where Oswald was on November 22, 1963 says that it is possible to place the blame for the assassination squarely at his feet!
TERRY ADAMS ALSO SAID:
“I told the FBI what I had heard [two shots from behind the grassy knoll fence], but they said it couldn’t have happened that way and that I must have been imagining things. So I testified the way they wanted me to. I just didn’t want to stir up any more pain and trouble for the family.”
-- Kennedy aide Kenneth O’Donnell, quoted by House Speaker Thomas P. “Tip” O’Neill Jr. in “Man of the House,” p. 178. O’Donnell was riding in the Secret Service follow-up car with Dave Powers, who was present and told O’Neill he had the same recollection.
(This is a post made by Goban Saor on the 'Reopen the Kennedy Case' forum.)
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
So it's really Tip O'Neill's quote, right? O'Neill quoting O'Donnell?
I'd love to have heard that quote coming straight from O'Donnell's mouth, to see how it might have differed from "The O'Neill Version".
Think there might be a tad bit of difference?
PAUL JOLLIFFE SAID:
Well David,
More folks than Tip O'Neill claimed to have heard directly from Dave Powers and Kenny O'Donnell that those two men heard and witnessed shots from the Grassy Knoll, but then, for various reasons, were willing to go along with the government narrative.
JAMES DiEUGENIO SAID:
What did Oswald have to do with the shooting of JFK?
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Yeah, all of this stuff is 100% fake and should be completely ignored and tossed out the window, right?
TERRY ADAMS SAID:
To what extent Oswald was involved cannot be fully known, but had he been watched, or better yet, brought in for questioning, we could very well have had a different outcome on that day. As everyone here knows, the feelings on Oswald's involvement cover the whole spectrum, from patsy to shooter. I do not think that we can patently say that he had nothing to do with the assassination.
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Regarding the alleged quote from Kenneth O'Donnell....
FWIW....
Quoting from this Usenet Newsgroup post....
---Quote On:---
"O'Donnell vehemently denied ever telling O'Neill that.
"The story is an absolute lie…whoever gave that story is lying. It’s an absolute, outright lie." -- Kenneth O’Donnell, Chicago Tribune, June 15, 1975.
But I guess he lied about lying? To help cover up the murder of the president and his close friend?
The number of people that you conspiracists are willing to accuse of crimes is stunning. Not just ordinary people but JFK's closest friends."
-- Steve M. Galbraith
