This is a point that Garrison's detractors always either discount or ignore. If Garrison's case was so anemic, why did the CIA go to such measures to counter him all the way up to and during the trial? To the point of physically assaulting his witnesses. Even when Garrison had spirited them away outside of New Orleans! If his case was so anemic, then they would have just let him fall on his face.
They did not. Not by any stretch of even a Carrollian imagination. (Raymond, not Lewis, but they are interchangeable in terms of factual basis.)
The CIA interference started almost at the beginning. It went on all the way through the trial and beyond. As Helms' original instructions to the Garrison Group said, he wanted proposals extending all the way beyond Shaw's trial. Why?
Because at their first meeting, Ray Rocca, in charge of Angleton's database on Garrison said words to the effect: If Garrison is allowed to proceed unimpeded, Shaw will be convicted.
From the horse's mouth.
With Carroll, its from the other end.
