How remarkable to see these two men together after all these decades. They were obviously quite young in the HSCA years. A couple of the highlights for me....
Mr. Hardway saying that he believes the lies told by CIA personnel to the HSCA reached the level of criminality. Also, that he believes Congress is/was so afraid of the CIA that it will not declassify any JFK assassination Agency documents, even though it has the right to do so without CIA approval.
Mr. Lopez voicing his suspicions that the 35mm film from the infamous pulse cameras that failed to produce an image of Oswald at either the Cuban or Russian offices in Mexico City was transferred in an unofficial diplomatic pouch addressed to a pseudonym of David Phillips. Also, that HSCA member Mike Goldsmith significantly "scaled back" many of the original accusations in the Lopez report, which Mr. Lopez noted should have a number of other names attached to it.
The relentless efforts of the CIA to stonewall the investigation is the most constant theme throughout the talk. It's hard to find humor in the 1960s assassinations, but the image of these two young law students wearing sandals and hippie-style hair entering the button-down headquarters of the CIA is really kind of funny,
