Of the 216 witnesses who were interviewed by the FBI or the Warren Commission, 73 of them were Dallas Police Officers,
Dallas Deputy Sheriffs, Secret Service Agents and other government employees who traditionally tend to identify with
the government’s case. Thus, the tabulation of 216 witnesses (culled from the Warren Commission’s 26 Volumes and from
Commission Documents stored in the National Archives) does not constitute a random sample of the witnesses to the
assassination. Hence, it cannot be the basis for an accurate statistical analysis of witness accounts. What happens if
we separate out the 73 government employees from the 143 nongovernment employees?

   143 Nongovernment Employees       73 Government Employees   
              Depository 22                               Depository 26

Many of the Government witnesses were riding in the motorcade, somewhat detached from crowd noise and large reflective surfaces, with some having lines-of-sight to the Depository. Let's compare with some of the non-Government witnesses in the motorcade:

Name  Comments  Direction or Vicinity
Jack Bell  Depository
Malcolm Couch  Saw rifle barrel  Depository
Tom Dillard    Depository
Robert Jackson  Saw rifle  Depository

So many "Government" witnesses and non-Government witnesses in the motorcade appear to have honestly related their experiences.
"appear to have honestly related their experiences" Equally or probably more often these things are not what they seem. This also can be said about the two clowns claim about seeing a rifle or rifle barrel.
A couple of photographers who say they saw a rifle or a rifle barrel but did not get a photograph of a rifle or even just a rifle barrel would mean they did not see anything and were honestly mistaken at best.
