- Dan, an attorney, worked with Edwin Lopez and Robert Blakey in the HSCA
- This interview from 2017, show #822
- The HSCA Lopez-Hardway Report, Oswald, the CIA, and Mexico City
- When Dan was getting too close to certain issues, CIA brought in George Joannides
- Joannides covered-up David Phillips‘ propaganda activities linking Oswald to Castro
- Phillips was not rogue, possibly he was used from within the Agency
- Dan did this work 40 years ago, he has not had the time to keep up with research
- There was Intelligence involvement in setting up the cover-up in advance
- Was CIA involved in the assassination? We tried not to speculate
- Is CIA suspect? Yes. Evidence? Clearly enough to merit further investigation
- The built-in function of plausible deniability, propaganda, black operations
- Oswald could not have been set up better, very sophisticated, detail and coordination
- OurHiddenHistory‘s Oswald, the CIA, and Mexico City audiobook
- There is evidence Oswald went to Mexico City. Did he go? I don’t know
- Evidence, indications, testimony, records, questionable
- A distinct possibility he could have been impersonated in Mexico City
- The kind of details we get hung up in, in an Intelligence operation, we can expect
- Pretty sure a photo was obtained and a tape recording survived, they ended up in Dallas
- FBI saw a photo and heard a tape, neither one of them were of Oswald
- Gary Cornwell wasn’t very supportive of Dan and Eddie
- Most HSCA staffers were at least agnostic on the issue of conspiracy
- Eddie and Dan got a lot of insulation from Bob (Blakey)
- Sprague and Tanenbaum, went in thinking they could act like prosecuting attorneys
- A Congressional Investigation could not indict, did not have prosecutor authority
- When it blew up, they left, a huge mess, doubt whether it would finish
- What Blakey could do was produce a report and suggest legislation
- Dan started in the dark, they found the basis of what the ARRB found and disclosed
- Cover-up does not prove conspiracy, other possible motivations to cover-up
- CIA admitted participating in a benign cover-up, Thank You Phil Shenon (10/2015)
- Dan’s blog, realhillbillyviews.blogspot.com
- CIA was declassifying the Lopez-Hardway report at three days per four paragraphs
- Someone, maybe CIA, made marginalia notes in the declassified draft
- People plotting to kill Castro, could have been in on killing Kennedy
- It takes painstaking work to pull out the threads and make the connections
- It’s now a historical rather then a forensic investigation
- Select Committees are limited in time, purpose, and funding
- Speculation, animosity about the King investigation, Southern congressman
- Mickey Goldsmith, sharp, supportive, backed up Dan and Eddie with CIA
- Our motto was “Reality is Irrelevant”
