Gerry Down Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 1 hour ago, Gil Jesus said: Tell us, Mr. Down: why would the Director of the FBI order his agents NOT to interview certain witnesses to the Tippit murder ? Seems to me, in a criminal inevstigation, you interview ALL of the witnesses, regardless of what they have to say. But in this case, as late as mid-October, 1964, the Dallas Agents were ordered NOT to interview Acquilla Clemons and the Wrights. Why is that ? Could have something to do with the fact that the WC, of which the FBI were the investigatory arm, had closed down the previous month. The shooting of Tippit was a state crime, not federal, so it was up to the DPD to conduct interviews by Oct 1964. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could there have been an unknown individual on the sidewalk across the street from where Oswald shot Tippit to which Oswald gestured to with the gun to get lost and that person then wisely took off running. Yeah, sure could have happened. Makes no difference to the fact Oswald shot Tippit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Davies Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 If anyone believes that Oswald would have been convicted in a Texas court of killing Tippit, then they are cherry picking alleged facts to support their beliefs. I would have enjoyed cross examining the various witnesses, and investigating police officers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either because the WC would not let them speak, or they were too afraid for their lives to speak. Do you know if the WC knew about them? If they were too afraid to talk, this is not the FBI`s or DPD`s fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it was a person who chose to be anonymous in the Playboy post, we can only speculate but it shares similarities with the experiences of other witnesses such as Clemons. If anybody was afraid to talk, just put yourself in their shoes. Wouldn't you hesitate if you kept hearing about witnesses being shot at work and at a police station and who knows what all else bizarre circumstances?

That interview is all speculation as the person never identified themselves. It could have been Mark Lane for all we know trying to bolster the account of Aquila whom he was using in his documentary "Rush To Judgment" in that timeframe.

But my point is not about that at all, as you know very well. The point is that you're trying to smear the WC when you have zero idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's far from being "just speculation". For heaven's sake, Oswald had the Tippit murder weapon still on him when he fought with the police just half-an-hour after Tippit was shot. (And please don't try and tell me that the gun Oswald had on him when he was arrested was planted on him, or that the bullet shells that littered Tenth Street were later "switched". Because that type of crap is really "just speculation" and every reasonable person knows it.) Edited January 29, 2023 by David Von Pein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To "smear" somebody as you allege I have done with the WC means to level false accusations and/or slander in order to make them look bad. I have done neither. When the comments get this obtuse, I am not inclined to continue engaging. Good day then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
