Jeanne de Mohrenschildt Interview, 1978

DM: Thanks for posting.

More than a few JFKA witnesses said they were browbeaten, or even threatened by FBI investigators, and Jeanne de M. is one of those. Others said the FBI appeared uninterested in information they volunteered.

My take is the FBI was committed to the LNT, under the advice and consent of President LBJ.

This does not exonerate LHO, but it is what it is.

Interesting that Jeanne de M. mentioned simple financial inducements to motivate LHO.

George de Mohrenschildt's death was curious as well.

Again we see, those who knew Oswald best have difficulty connecting the Oswald they knew to the Oswald of the JFKA. There is an undeniable disconnect. What she suggests is along the lines of what John Orr suggests (unconvincingly to me) - i.e., Marcello actually recruited Oswald and made some sort of offer he couldn't refuse.

This massive biography of DeMohrenschildt is excellent and extremely detailed. He comes across far more as "eccentric" than full of the dark intrigue often associated with him. It's not at all difficult for me to understand why he would have found Oswald an interesting guy.

The author participated for a short time at the Ed Forum, as I recall. (Edit: I just looked. Her participation was extremely short. I don't know what happened to her, but she was a serious researcher and had done extensive work on the Paines. I don't know whether she is/was a CTer, but I got nothing along those lines from this biography.)

Here she is on a podcast, which I don't have time to watch:
