Why would the conspirators let Oswald have a midnight press conference?

[Brian Walker]

Imo Oswald was given a midnight press conference because nobody besides Oswald had anything to hide.

I made a thread about this once. There are only 2 things you have to know that shows there was no conspiracy.

1- Oswald was allowed a press conference and was allowed to meet with his family.

2- Oswald and everyone else in the TSBD were allowed to walk freely before and during the assassination.

[Brian Walker]

It's quite obvious that Ruby had Carte Blanche to go anywhere he wanted to go so he could be close to Oswald . Hell , Oswald was calm , cool and collected because he knew he hadn't shot or killed anyone that weekend.

So you think the fact that he was calm was a sign that he was falsely being accused of murder, Huh

Why would the conspirators let Oswald have a midnight press conference?

A rhetorical question....If the cops didn't bring Oswald out to show the press then they must have been hiding something. Also, it was not much of a "press conference" -there was no sustained interview anyway...it was hurry up and show him and then take him back to his cell.
In spite of an earlier post...someone had something to hide, Oswald was exterminated.

[Jon Banks]

He had numerous opportunities - particularly in this press conference - to expose this alleged conspiracy. Or at the very least to give hints/names of something more.

Why would he expose the conspiracy?

A Conspiracy doesn't exonerate Oswald unless he was framed.

If he was framed, then he likely would have no knowledge of the Conspiracy or Conspirators.

If he was part of a Conspiracy then he'd be admitting that he too is Guilty by revealing the Conspiracy.

Oswald's hint was the infamous "I'm just a Patsy" statement...

Imo Oswald participated in the press conference because he had nothing to hide.

But what makes you even think that the people who arranged the press conference were conspirators?

I don?t think the Dallas police was part of the conspiracy. I don?t think anyone besides Oswald was involved. But I thought the standard CT story was that the Dallas Police was involved in the conspiracy, because they must have coordinated the movement of Oswald with Ruby?s visit to the Western Union office and still reach the police basement garage four minutes later with almost perfect timing.

Do you hold that the Dallas police were not part of the conspiracy on Friday night so they saw no need to keep Oswald silent? But by 36 hours later, they were now part of the conspiracy, so they helped with the timing so Oswald would be silent forever.

Is this what you wish to imply?

What makes you think that there even is a "standard CT story"?

I seriously doubt that in any kind of conspiracy (if there was one) an entire police department could or would be involved.


But by 36 hours later, they were now part of the conspiracy

I have no idea who you mean by "they"

[Richard Smith]

Sorry, I couldn't get past your insult. Try again.

These are the same folks who just complained about civil discourse on the forum.  LOL.  It's interesting that CTers argue that the evidence against Oswald is suspect but then here argue the DPD - who found and controlled that evidence - are not the folks they are suggesting were involved in the conspiracy.  So I guess they agree the bag was discovered on the 6th floor, Oswald's prints were on the rifle etc since that is all that evidence was obtained by the DPD who controlled Oswald's movements while under arrest and had the discretion not to allow him to speak to the press.  Good to know.
