Three cheers for Lifton!
It's hard to say what would have happened to Oswald. Perhaps he called the ONI cut-out from the police station because he no longer trusted his Dallas contacts. He was in a room full of mirrors in the police station. He was definitely operational and probably asked for Abt because whoever organized the assassination knew he would be away at his country house that weekend and buy them time. I doubt any spilling of the beans to any lawyer would have seen the light of day in any case. It is possible Oswald was such a dedicated operator that he would have kept his mouth shut on the deepest details. It is also possible DPD kept no notes because they knew he was deep. Or they were given covert orders to not allow any statements from Oswald out lest they contain coded messages etc. Who knows. Maybe Oswald knew the people who controlled him and didn't want to induce his own death by talking too directly too quickly. He wasn't a fool and knew Ruby's position both in the police station and with the Dallas police through the Carousel. What would have hurt the most was Oswald's insistence that he was in the lunchroom the whole time. Apparently he had witnesses to his Coke break.
