James DiEugenio's Factoids about Howard Brennan

[Tom Graves]

Amos Euins did not name Lee Oswald

"There was another witness to a shooter in the TSBD6 sniper window, Amos Euins."

[Benjamin Cole]

MC--

That is correct, Euins even waffled on the race of the shooter, let alone an actual ID.

Robert Jackson, photographer, also saw a sniper-rifle in TSBD6.

My point is someone fired a rifle in the direction of the JFK limo 11/22, from the TSBD6 sniper window. LHO was seen by no one anywhere in the TSBD or on the street during when shots were fired. He was invisible. Except possibly to Brennan.

LHO's rifle was found nearby. It is good guess LHO was involved in the JFKA, and he is my best guess as the TSBD6 sniper. My take is LHO was not acting alone, due to strikes on JFK and JBC in too-rapid a sequence.

Litwin's point is that Brennan is an acceptable witness. I agree, but only to the extent that Brennan saw someone in the TSBD6 window.

Side note: It is remarkable the number of JFKA witnesses, like Brennan, who expressed fear of coming forward. There was a witness to a man running from the TSBD carrying a Winchester, in the immediate aftermath of the JFKA. That became the basis of the "Sawyer memo," and the radio description of LHO that went out over DPD radio, of the 5'10" 165 lb suspect. But that witness disappeared.

Was Sawyer, a DPD Inspector (senior officer) just a nut? Did a witness actually tell him that?

I don't know.

Brennan was not an acceptable witness and what I posted is more than adequate proof of that
He had no actual fear of coming forward, and gave pertinent personal information on TV at the scene.

I suggest watching G. Robert Blakey's debate with Howard Willens. It's on YouTube. When the subject of Howard Brennan comes up, Blakey explained why the HSCA rejected Brennan's testimony. Blakey noted that he didn't think Brennan could have seen what he claimed to have seen from where he was standing.

I also suggest reading Professor Gerald McKnight's observations about Howard Brennan in his book Breach of Trust (pp. 108-109, 194). Brennan's testimony would have been shredded in a trial by a competent defense attorney.

Dear Comrade Griffith,

Brennan wasn't standing.

He was sitting.

Up high.

Above everyone else.
