CIA Wallets at Tenth and Patton

[Lance Payette]

The old planted wallet story always makes me laugh.  Imagine a plot to frame Oswald that involves planting his wallet at the Tippit murder scene.  Fantastic evidence that puts him at the crime scene.  Score one for the conspirators.  But what do these masterminds do? They suppress the planted wallet.  Why? Because Oswald has his real wallet on him when arrested. HA HA HA.  Something any child could have anticipated but the conspirators are caught by surprise.   And then given the choice of which wallet to suppress, they decide the suppress the more incriminating wallet left at the crime scene!  Wow.

Richard, you're just no fun. If you insist on thinking logically, what are we going to do with you? Take a week off, binge-watch Three Stooges episodes on YouTube, and get back to us when you're ready to think outside the box of rationality.

What would be a logical explanation for Bentley not mentioning Hidell when he took the wallet from Oswald in order to identify him. What is a logical explanation for the lack of a chain of custody for that wallet and how can it be logically explained that an - until this day - unidentified police officer ended up with a wallet, which he gave to Gus Rose, that did contain the Hidell ID? How did that officer even know it was Oswald's wallet?
