The Sawyer Memo and a Winchester

[Tom Graves]

In addition to your Bruce Solie CTs, ...

How does John M. Newman's and my idea that Nosenko-"clearing" Bruce Solie was a KGB mole in the CIA's mole-hunting Office of Security, that he betrayed Pyotor Popov and the U-2's secrets to the KGB in Washington, D.C., movie houses in January 1957, and that he sent (or duped his confidant, protege, and mole-hunting subordinate, James Angleton, into sending) Oswald to Moscow in October 1959 as an ostensible "dangle" in a (unbeknownst-to-Angleton and Oswald) planned-to-fail hunt for "Popov's U-2 Mole" (Solie) in the wrong part of the CIA qualify as a "conspiracy theory"?

... are you now formulating a CT that Sawyer was part of DPD conspiracy to fabricate a witness, who gave them the "5'10" white male, 165, carrying a rifle" description?

 
Why?

Would you like for me to?

TG-

The case against Bruce Solie is entirely based circumstantial evidence, and even there we hardly have a complete record.

There are no wiretaps, no confessions, no confirmed meetings between Solie and KGB'ers, etc. No records of financial inducement, or that Solie was blackmailed for being a homosexual, etc.

Solie was never put on trial, and is too dead now to mount a defense, or provide explanations or an alternative narrative.

Nor has anyone in the KGB ever said, "Yeah, Solie was one of ours."

You have CT against Solie, as does Newman.

I lean towards Solie being a KGB asset, but I recognize what I have is a suspicion, a CT, not a fact.

Lean towards?

Does "conspiracy theory" have the same connotation when applied to a CIA employee who conspired with the KGB to destroy the CIA and to further the goals of the Kremlin (but not to assassinate JFK) as it does when it's applied to someone who preaches that the Military Industrial Intelligence-Community Complex Deep State National Security State, perhaps in conjunction with your beloved MOSSAD, killed JFK?

Your Solie-CT has more plausibility than other CTs, and LNT's.

Gee, thanks.

All other, or just a few?

Regardless, I'll try to incorporate Castro's G2 and / or the Iranians into it for you.

Larry Hancock thinks SAVAK may have been involved in the RFKA, manipulating Palestinian activists.

So far, no Iranians in the JFKA.

The IRGC has targeted Trump a few times.

How dare they!
