James DiEugenio Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 This is actually pretty good I think, considering. The only time I thought she was better was her speech during CTKA's 30th anniversary candlelight vigil rally in Dealey Plaza. Which the Powers the Be were determined would not repeated in 2013 for the fiftieth. https://statick2k-5f2f.kxcdn.com/images/pdf/moswald-arrb.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Clark Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 "Acording to the police chief, "We could never put the rifle and the person together." No, Marina, you are the only one, besides Paul Trejo, who did that. Otherwise, a fantastic read, Thanks Jim, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Bauer Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) Marina wants all the documentation released? How about Lee's tax records? "If it's true" that Marina has the legal right and power to authorize the public release of these, then this would be a huge addition to the documentation record. I state this without knowing whether this legal situation is true or that Lee's tax records would be altered or even destroyed even if she authorized their release. Marina states in the latter part of her letter that she has no money to leave her grand children? I didn't know that her financial asset situation in her older age was such. I always assumed ( guess I was wrong ) that life with this Porter fellow was at least somewhat more secure than the average persons on fixed retirement incomes. And did Marina spend the money given to her as donations and that $100,000+ book ( or film? ) advance she received back in 1964? $100,000+ ( plus thousands more in sympathy donations ) back in 1964 would be close to $750,000 in today's money.

Jeffrey Reilley Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Did anyone from the ARRB tell her that if she had signed off on the tax records release, it could have forced the FBI to release the documents she was requesting? Seems like that may have been the play the ARRB was trying to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James DiEugenio Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 Yes she was informed about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Reilley Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Well, I'd then be inclined to believe that she was not being completely honest in her letter. The first thing I thought while reading this was, if the IRS had to produce his tax returns, then the FBI would be up a certain creek without proper paddling equipment, and would then have to at least acknowledge LHO's status with them in some capacity. She sounds like a lot of people in the public eye...say you want one thing, but do things that bring about the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Brancato Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) Thanks Jim. I knew of Marina's position but had never seen this letter. Certainly fits with my impression that her husband worked in some capacity for the FBI. It would explain a lot, such as his request to speak to the FBI SAC when jailed in New Orleans, and the nearly inexplicable interactions with Hosty (as well as Hosty's actions after the assassination). It would explain the files on Cuban exiles that were discovered at the Paine's on the initial search after the assassination which subsequently disappeared, and the miniature camera in her garage. It might even explain Gheesling taking Oswald off the FBI watch list when he did. But of course it might not be the whole story of Oswald's involvement in intelligence.
