I thought this old FBI document would be good to share now given the fact that Anna Paulina "Looney Tunes" Luna has just received from her beloved Russia the KGB’s 350-page “investigation” of the JFKA which, according to Kremlin-loyal triple agents and "defectors" back in the day, it undertook right after the assassination (LOL!) and took six months to complete (LOL!)
Please note that due to a mistake, the codename "Shamrock" was originally redacted from the memo in all but one place (see below).
Factoids: Shamrock was Soviet journalist Igor Orekhov. He was thrown out of the country by the FBI in 1970 for committing espionage or some-such thing. As y'all should know by now, Yuri Nosenko was a false-defector-in-place to the CIA in Geneva in June 1962 and a false (or perhaps rogue) physical defector to the U.S. in February 1964. A probable “mole” in the Office of Security, Bruce Leonard Solie, “cleared” him via a bogus polygraph exam and a specious report in October of 1968. Also note that Kremlin-loyal triple agent Aleksei Kulak – J. Edgar Hoover’s shielded-from-CIA "FEDORA" – spied for the Bureau's NYC field office (which is mentioned in the memo) from 1962 to 1977.
Interestingly, Orekhov / Shamrock was the Soviet intelligence dude who was involved with Mark Lane.

Subject: Assassination of President John F. Kennedy
November 22, 1963, Dallas, Texas
The purpose of this memorandum is to recommend that we disseminate information from our [Shamrock] informant bearing on the assassination of the late President Kennedy.
Redacted is the sensitive Soviet source who [long redaction] and volunteered to furnish information. He is being handled by representatives of CIA and special agents of our New York Office.
[Shamrock] has recently reported certain details concerning Soviet reaction to the assassination of President Kennedy. [Shamrock] reported the Soviets had the KGB make an extensive study of the assassination and, as a result of this study, the KGB concluded that President Kennedy was killed by representatives of a group of monopolists, characterized as the military-industrial complex in the United States. The KGB felt that President Kennedy had tried to limit the activities of this group of monopolists and therefore they planned his assassination. [Shamrock] further reported that the Soviets felt that President Kennedy's death was a great loss, not only for the United States and the Soviet Union, but for the whole world. According to [Shamrock], the Soviets felt that they could trust President Kennedy and could deal with him on a cooperative basis. [Shamrock] further stated that the Soviets mourned President Kennedy's death, a situation which Shamrock considered very unique inasmuch as the person being mourned was a leader of another country. The information furnished by [Shamrock] is very similar to that previously furnished to us by Yuri Nosenko, a Soviet defector whose bona fides has not been established.
We feel we should disseminate this data since we have previously disseminated the information we received from Yuri Nosenko regarding the assassination even though we recognized some of the data was not subject to proof, Particularly, that occurring within the Soviet Union.
We feel that by documenting [Shamrock] as a “confidential informant, contact with whom has been insufficient to establish his reliability,” we will alert other agencies that the information has not been established as true.
We have received information from numerous other sources that the Soviets did mourn the death of President Kennedy and that Soviet leaders felt they could work with President Kennedy.
Action: if you approve, we will disseminate the data furnished by the [Shamrock] informant as set out herein to the Department, to Secret Service, to State Department and to Central Intelligence Agency.
