Mr. David did wait until 1975 to come forward with his tale. That was 6 years AFTER the nationally known and publicized Shaw trial, surely the best time for a dedicated public servant to step forward with vital information.In defense of Mr. David at the time of the Garrison trial he was still bound to the secrecy oath on threat of prosecution. That wasn't lifted until the HSCA.
Mr. David's "anonymous" report to a newspaper guy was in 1975. That's the year BEFORE the HSCA started its business (1976). So secrecy oath considerations didn't enter Mr. David's calculations about his 1975 disclosure.
