Posted for people like Ben who may have missed the presentation last night, in order that they might make their own minds up, instead of getting somebody else's opinion.

Tribe expects violence if Trump is indicted.
AS opposed to....?
Great cheering from the majority of the populace and fireworks, a la the 4th, countrywide.

He told the world he was inside the building "at the time" of the shooting, Pat.
He was, Dave.
Depends on what you call inside the building.
Is being at the the top of the steps considered to be inside the building?Or do you consider, that he was outside the building? Was he looking OUT of the building from the top of the steps or not?
Semantics is such great fun.

Vince. Here's what I've had on my website for 8 years or so. You may want to add some of these to your list.

An 11-22-63 UPI article, most likely reflecting the words of UPI’s man-on-the-scene Merriman Smith, reported on this clean-up, stating: “Outside the hospital, blood was cleaned from the limousine.”
-
An 11-23-63 New York Times story by Tom Wicker similarly reported, “A bucket of water stood by the car, suggesting that the back seat had been scrubbed out.” (In the 1965 anthology John Fitzgerald Kennedy...As We Remember Him, and then again in his 1978 book On Press, Wicker explained just why this bucket suggested as much and specified that it wasn't just a bucket of water, but “a bucket of bloody water.”)
-
An article on the assassination by Hugh Sidey in the 12-20-63 issue of Time Magazine confirmed these accounts, and claimed he'd witnessed: “A young man, I assume he was a Secret Service man, with a sponge and a bucket of red water, and he was trying to wipe up the blood and what looked like flakes of flesh and brains in the back seat.” (Sidey repeated this allegation in an 11-28-88 Time article. He wrote: "The presidential limousine rested at Parkland Hospital. A grim young man was washing away the blood and flesh that had splattered the leather upholstery...The young man in his neat dark suit, sleeves pushed up, swabbed the seats. They glistened in their miserable wetness. Beside the car was a bucket with brownish red water. If any doubt remained about this calamity, it was swept away in one glance at that bucket. So simple. so hideous." )
-
And as if that weren't enough, Newsweek’s Charles Roberts also confirmed these accounts. In his 1967 defense of the Warren Report, modestly entitled The Truth About The Assassination, Roberts said simply that on 11-22-63 he saw two Secret Service men "starting to put the fabric top" on the President's limo, and thought "Why now?" Now that was vague, but Roberts would later expand on this. In an interview conducted for Robert MacNeil's 1988 book The Way we Were, Roberts admitted that he'd actually seen these agents “mop up the back seat” before putting on the fabric top, and that he'd thought it “ironic” that one of the Secret Service agents waved him aside and told him “you can’t look,” when "this wall of protection...of course could do no good."
-
And then, for good measure, there's Sid Davis, a reporter for Westinghouse Radio. On 11-9-13, in a taped interview with The Newseum, Davis shared that when he arrived at Parkland Hospital ”'I could see the Secret Service agents cleaning up the back of the limousine. I went to take a look and a friend of mine, Hugh Sidey of Time Magazine, said 'Don’t look, it’s too horrible.'"
Thus, five respected newsmen, all verified to have been at Parkland Hospital on 11-22-63, claimed they saw either someone cleaning blood from the limo, or the bloody bucket used in this clean-up.

@David Lifton
So you say Samoluk was not playing the fool by pretending he can't tell a cam with batteries from a cam you have to wind up with a wind up key but a genuine fool?
I don't believe it.
In the first place: Whoever gave Samulok the Zapruder Type cam why did he not told Samoluk: "That is a type of cam you have to wind up" and why didn't they provide Samoluk with the wind up key to wind up that cam?Karl, the camera didn't need a separate key to wind it up. It had a built in lever at the side of it that you used to wind it up.

In regard to the Minox in custody, who was responsible for filling it with some substance (?) to stop the opening and identifying the source?

I am very thankful for your fiendship through the years and appreciate the leading role you are playing in the present Administration, (LOL understandable here, I did) and hope we are fortunate enough someday to have you as our President.
Rather apt that friendship was mis-spelled as "FIENDSHIP">

Disagree, John, but then that's what the forum is all about. Compare the lines of the two roof supports. (Shown in yellow) No matter what your perspective is, they go in totally different directions..
-
Compare this cropped photo of the rear roof support of the Johnson Press car, to the windscreen upright and the wheel arch shown in Pat Speer's photo Z161. Both slope the wrong way. Just don't match.
-
Re the Johnson Press car in frame 157, there is nothing wrong with the direction, it is travelling, i.e. North on Houston. Perhaps John can point out why the "triangular" shape of the rear roof support back has disappeared.
Same with 158/160.
All we can see is the backward slope of the windscreen.

OBTW, I asked Ray what was a "chaser". To me a chaser is a shot of whiskey after a beer, but thought it might be some Brit slang. It's a shame he didn't answer.
Sorry, John must have missed your post. A chaser is someone who chases after another poster who won't admit he(or she) is wrong. For example, remember the case of the post shadows?(I'm still waiting for an apology by the way.) You seemed to think I was picking on you, particularly, but I can't let incorrect posts go by without saying something.
-
At the risk of being called a "chaser" by John , maybe he might look at this photo which has had the chrome hue reduced. and see if he thinks he may be wrong.
-
Ben, Perhaps it may be better for the UN to propose this. I know Russia has the Security Council by the throat, but that shouldn't stop it, proposing a humanitarian corridor in Ukraine.
-
With risk of Russia threatening to use chemical weapons, it is time for NATO to say if the Russians use them, then NATO will move into Ukraine. There is only so much, civilization can take. The Russians will have been warned, chemical weapons are against the civilian population, and they will pay for their use.

Jim, I recently watched JFK Revisited and must congratulate you and Oliver Stone on magnificent film. At last somebody has told us what the ARRB really found out. Kudos.

I must have missed the part of the story where Oliver Stone admits JFK Revisited is a flop. Maybe Tracy could enlighten us.
