CIA Wallets at Tenth and Patton

[Richard Smith]

Garbage. They would have said that.

That's bizarre logic.  Did "they" say it was Oswald's wallet and they were involved in a conspiracy to plant evidence?  It is truly comedy gold that CTers who otherwise reject all evidence linking Oswald to the crime insist that his wallet was left at the Tippit murder scene and that the same investigators who are involved in framing him suppress this highly incriminating piece of evidence.  It's mind blowing.

Did "they" say it was Oswald's wallet....

  As a matter of fact one cop did;

"It has been established" because someone said it was so!  Wow.  Imagine applying that standard to the other evidence that links Oswald to the assassination.  Most of which you reject. How about spinning us a yarn that explains why the folks who are involved in framing Oswald suppress a highly incriminating piece of evidence left at the murder scene?

Interesting that you ignored the fact that Barrett said it was a wallet.

why the folks who are involved in framing Oswald suppress a highly incriminating piece of evidence left at the murder scene?

You keep repeating this BS when you've already been told that nobody claims that a wallet found at a murder scene was suppressed.

If a wallet was suppressed it was the one taken from Oswald in the car by Bentley.

After Oswald was brought in from the theater, everyone gathered inside the office of Capt. Westbrook.  This office is where the officers filled out their arrest reports.

Inside this office was Westbrook, Barrett and Oswald's wallet (with Oswald and Hidell identifications inside and taken from him by Bentley during the car ride from the theater to headquarters).

Think about it.

I did think about it. In Westbrook's office (or the lunchroom nearby) the gray jacket was marked by officers who were never part of the chain of custody. Officers who actually did handle the jacket at the car park did not mark it and they remain unidentified until this day. The revolver that Hill brought into the station and allegedly carried around with him for more than one hour wasn't marked by the officer who allegedly took it from Oswald and Hill could not positively confirm the revolver came from Oswald as he was only given the weapon in the car that took Oswald to the police station and was told that it belonged to Oswald. So much for the reliability of those officers.

There is no evidence that the wallet Bentley took from Oswald contained the Hidell identification and there is also no evidence that the wallet given to Gus Rose, by yet another unidentified officer, was the same one as the one Bentley took from Oswald.

I have found no record stating that Barrett was in Westbrook's office and that a wallet was there.

You are making statements you can not support with evidence!

Not the wallet at the Tippit crime scene again? Yawn.

Why plant a wallet then refuse to use it as evidence?? This scenario doesn't make a lick of sense, well, not to any sane rational person.

In this video of the wallet at the Tippit crime scene, the cop with the wallet is randomly waving his gun around, and without a care, even has it aimed close to the hand of the detective who is pointing something out within the wallet and then when the cop hands over the wallet, he quickly points the gun away and more towards himself.
The most likely scenario is that the wallet was being looked at legitimately and also as a bit of a show for the TV camera and thus the cop is a bit flippant with the direction of his gun, but when the civilian approaches and is given his wallet back, the cop responds correctly by diverting the aim of the gun and away from the direction of this civilian.



BTW, I posted this theory on the old Forum and Gary Mack who became a wise wizard, sent me a PM endorsing my theory.
