Lance Payette speaks and How this would play out in court!

[John Iacoletti]

So you recognize that Howard Brennan could NOT have been referring to the partially open window at the SE corner of the sixth floor ......but refuse to believe Brennan's affidavit in which he clearly describes a window that had to have been wide open....

Brennan has no credibility whatsoever.

[Tim Nickerson]

From the DiEugenics guy over on the ED Forum:

Lance:

Just out of curiosity, how long have you been investigating this case?

I say that because your urge to find closure on this issue, with conclusions that to most people would seem jerry built strikes me as being rather odd for any kind of person who is very familiar with this case. Also, your lack of any interviews or documentary research into the provenance of the money order is also puzzling.

I mean lawyers are supposed to be ultra vigilant about the issues of chain of possession. That is, how did a piece of evidence get from one step to another, how did it originate? Because if there are any lacunae in that chain, the court, the jury and judge will look askance at that evidence.

Yet, in your eagerness for finality, you have not asked one question about this issue. Therefore in just a matter of days and sixteen posts, you have done what say Gil Jesus, David Josephs, John Armstrong, Martha Moyer and the later Ray Gallagher could not do in literally years of research, going back to the nineties.

Are you familiar with those issues at all? Have you researched them? Or are they irrelevant to you?

LBJ's Special Select Cover Up Committee certainly thought he had credibility, and he was their prime witness who they needed to use to convince the public that Leee Harrrrrvey Osssswald was guilty.

...........

I think it is reasonable to expect it would have required bus loads of pre-assassination planners and post assassination coordinators and fakery
management to bring the beliefs and conclusions of DiEugenio and Sandy to the realm of possibilities.

Whoops......I almost neglected to lump Caprio in with DiEugenio and Sandy.

Brennan has no credibility whatsoever.

Then why have you used his statements to bolster your position that there was a man who was dressed in light colored khaki clothing aiming a hunting rifle from the SE corner window?

I haven't.

What a hoot! I was scrolling through old threads and immediately stumbled on this from 2018, which I hadn't seen before.

MTG declared me "an ignorant nutjob." There is simply no higher compliment than having MTG declare you an ignorant nut job.

Tim Nickerson quoted with a hee-hee-hee Smiley Face a challenge by Jim DiEugenio that I, a mere Ed Forum newbie, seemed to think I had "in just a matter of days and sixteen posts ... done what say Gil Jesus, David Josephs, John Armstrong, Martha Moyer and the later Ray Gallagher could not do in literally years of research, going back to the nineties."

Jimbo was talking about my discovery of the File Locator Number on the Klein's postal money order, which pretty much sealed the deal on its authenticity. He was quite wrong that I thought I had done this in a matter of days and 16 posts. It took me about an hour on Google. Up your pompous ass, Jimbo.

I'm kind of surprised that my 2018 Ed Forum post (quoted in John M's original post) holds up as well as it does. It's pretty much exactly what I would say today and is entirely consistent with my recent "focus on plausibility" post here. Not nearly as snarky as I would've expected.

It's kind of interesting to scroll through these old threads. I just started at page 208 and worked backwards from there.
