Forum members opinions on the following persons linked with Oswald

[Walt Cakebread]

No, Mr. Cakebread. She said she found the draft of the letter, made a copy of it, and showed it to her husband, Michael. He dismissed her concerns so she didn't do anything afterwards. She didn't call the FBI about it. She testified that she considered giving it to the FBI the next time agent Hosty came but she didn't.

Here is the relevant portion of her testimony:
Mr. JENNER - What did you do ultimately with your draft of the letter and the original?
Mrs. PAINE - The first appearance of an FBI person on the 23d of November, I gave the original to them. The next day it probably was I said I also had a copy and gave them that. I wanted to be shut of it.
Mr. JENNER - So I take it, Mrs. Paine, you did not deliver either the original or the copy or call attention to the original or the copy with respect to the FBI.
Mrs. PAINE - Prior.
Mr. JENNER - Prior to the 23d did you say?
Mrs. PAINE - That is right.

So again, prior to the assassination she withheld the letter. The rest of her testimony on the matter is here:  http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/russ/testimony/paine_r2.htm

In his Book  ,  Assignment: Oswald ....Hosty says that Ruth Paine called him and he went to her residence and picked up the letter.

So you actually believe that on November 9th,  Ruthie Goodie Girl who was so alarmed by the letter that she stole it, and made a copy of it, and then returned the original to it's place on the desk,  before Lee would find out what she'd done.....   Didn't do anything with the letter, and the original rough draft, which she'd grabbed from the trash can, until over two weeks had passed ....and then called Hosty on November 23rd ( after the assassination) ....and told him that she had the letter.

The FBI and (other law enforcement agencies) had been all over her neighborhood on the weekend of 11/22--  11/24 but she couldn't simply have gave them the letter???     She had to make a special call to Hosty....   Could it be that Hosty was her handler?

If she was so alarmed by the letter...WHY did she wait over two weeks ??   Do you actually believe the BS story??

Walt, you revel in speculation in astonishing ways, yet present no evidence, only suspicion.  Mind you, this is 55 years after the event.  Sigh.  Hosty, her handler??? Is this yet more speculation or do you actually have evidence to support this astonishing comment?

Have you read Hosty's Book?

[Paul May]

Years ago.  Can YOU answer my question?

Read it again...the answer is there....

[Jerry Freeman]

He ?thought? they were involved?  Meaningless. I personally had the opportunity to interview Robert in 1989. In some two hours, not one time did he mention the Paines, directly or indirectly.

Paul May-be...So what? You are meaningless. I just linked the WC testimony. You might read it.

[Paul May]

Pathetic Walt.....simply pathetic. You cannot answer a question for the forum?s members? You are not a researcher looking for answers.  You?re a blatant charlaton spreading lies and misrepresenting actual facts.  History is debated Walt, not argued.  You made an accusation. You are obligated to support that statement with facts. You?ve been challenged to do so as many CT?s have been challenged to do so the past 55 years.  All have failed.  Join the club.
