Larry Crafard part 2
The question is why did Dallas FBI jump the gun and not wait on receipt of the Crafard photos from Detroit, or ask the electronic trio to take a look at them afterward? Bargeloads of blithering nonsense could have been forestalled.
The answer might well be that there was a reluctance to penetrate Dallas' gay scene, even a strong desire to place this area of inquiry out-of-bounds in terms of what was suitable for WC's eyes.
Gay Bobby's reaching out to the FBI might be construed as an attempt to offer his services as an undercover operative for the purpose of sifting Ruby's & Oswald's sexual underground involvement, possibly involving Crafard, too. He might have hoped to parlay his role as an ONI informer. The navy took an active interest in this at a surprisingly high level as indicated by excerpts from an 11/27/63 memo to Admiral McDonald from Rear Admiral Rufus L. Taylor:
Robert Kermit Patterson, admitted 6J (homosexual), contacted resident agent Dallas about 1330 CST yesterday and said he had information in regard assassination of President Kennedy. Patterson said he and one Donald C. Stuart operated operated Contract Electronics, 2533 Elm Street Dallas. About two weeks ago, Jack Ruby/aka/Rubenstein and subject Oswald visited Contract Electronics and wanted work done on microphones at Ruby Carousel Night Club, Dallas. On this occasion Ruby told Oswald to write names of Patterson and Stuart in Carousel guest book.
...
The above information certainly raises questions as to Ruby's real motives in killing Oswald. We have all been interested in what seemed to us to be a look of recognition on Oswald's face when he spotted Ruby.
Naval top brass may have been interested in the "look of recognition on Oswald's face when he spotted Ruby," but the FBI wanted no part of an inquiry into "Ruby's real motives in killing Oswald." Consequently, Patterson's effort failed to broaden the scope of his "6J" snitch clientele.
The FBI put the issue to bed as described in the previous post while furnishing WC with a lengthy but superficial report from Detroit, CE2250. It covered a lot of ground without delving into anything of importance.
