Proof the Motorcade came to a long Halt

[David Josephs]

There must have come a point in the hearings when some of the members of the Warren Commission began asking, "Why can none of these witnesses recall what the FBI claims they told FBI agents during interviews?"

The obvious contradiction by Harold Norman of a report submitted by an overly eager FBI agent is something repeated often during the hearings. Do we really need anything more to tell us Hoover and the FBI were part of a major cover up?

Did y'all read the books by Swearingen, theex-FBI who basically tells us the FBI agents made up everything in order to please Hoover. Reports, informants, meetings, overtime, everything. His books are not all that great related to JFK but the FBI stories and the atmosphere caused by Hoover was stifling and oppressive.

When information is needed to support a conclusion - a conclusion the FBI NEVER offered up but in this case - the FBI can be counted upon to come thru...

That and I'm not sure if everyone knows but the Warren Commissioners had final say on what was published in testimony and the report.
Allen Dulles simply crosses off and rewrites Cadigan's testimony when he refers to the FBI taking all the Dallas items - the number of items is 50% more than what was taken... so it was crossed out and rewritten and published that way...

One wonders how many other FINAL TESTIMONIES were treated to this editing....

Wow, David, hard to believe this testimony was just brazenly deleted.

Many times I have looked at a witness's WC testimony, and wondered why certain questions were not asked by the lawyer speaking to the witness. Is it possible whole passages of testimony were deleted from the transcripts?

Possible and most probable.

I find it somewhat interesting that the FBI says 3 and only 3 shots and the majority of the witness statements reflect same... when one of the first people to see the Zfilm claims 6-8 from 3 directions.

The limo stop is only one piece of this... the WIDE left turn onto Elm is gone as well - gone from ALL the films and somehow excised from Towner...

Mr. TRULY. That is right.
And the President's car following close behind came along at an average speed of 10 or 15 miles an hour. It wasn't that much, because they were getting ready to turn. And the driver of the Presidential car swung out too far to the right, and he came almost within an inch of running into this little abutment here, between Elm and the Parkway. And he slowed down perceptibly and pulled back to the left to get over into the middle lane of the parkway. Not being familiar with the street, he came too far out this way when he made his turn.
Mr. BELIN. He came too far to the north before he made his curve, and as he curved--as he made his left turn from Houston onto the street leading to the expressway, he almost hit this north curb?
Mr. TRULY. That is right. Just before he got to it, he had to almost stop, to pull over to the left.
If he had maintained his speed, he would probably have hit this little section here.
Mr. BELIN. All right.
