I am afraid to put a copy of memo here---not sure about postimg and the new rules.

So, according to the FBI memo, there was word in the FBI that a Secret Service agent had found a bullet in the limo on 11.22.

That sounds like Landis.

No it sounds like the Secret Service search of the limo in Washington that night, a search that discovered the fragmented bullet that had struck JFK in the head. The memo specifically stated the Secret Service had searched the limo for bullets. Do you really think Landis did that?

[I hope this image below sticks]

"found the bullet which allegedly killed the President."

See below.

I have never heard of anyone referring to bullet fragments as a "bullet."

I have heard people refer to a "slug" or "bullet" when describing a bullet, and to "shrapnel" or "fragment," when referring to such, at the gun range.

Moreover, the memo refers to "the bullet," singular. Not "bullet fragments."

Interesting side note, regarding the author of this memo:

"During J. Edgar Hoover’s tenure leading the bureau, the FBI maintained a strict hiring standard that required special agents to be either qualified accountants or graduates of a recognized law school. Alex Rosen, who joined the FBI in the 1930s and served as the Assistant Director of the General Investigative Division during the 1960s, met these criteria as a credentialed attorney."

Does a senior FBI official, holding a law degree, refer to bullet fragments as "the bullet"? Seems unlikely.

Does this 11.22 FBI memo refer to Landis finding a whole slug or bullet in the limo? Possible.

Try reading the third paragraph. Shanklin is clearly describing the search of the limo which was conducted in Washington the night of the JFKA. The memo says they found the bullet that killed JFK which was the fragmented bullet. Landis claimed he found a whole bullet in the rear seat. He claimed he put it in his pocket and then placed it in a blanket by JFK's foot. That would have been an incredibly stupid thing to do for a 28 year old agent who still had all his marbles. Landis was 88 when he told that story and clearly his front porch light was flickering. I imagine his cognitive decline has continued over the past 3 years.

My mother is 97 and has all her marbles, and still reads relatively serious non-fiction books.

In contrast, some of my colleagues seemed to drift into "doing nothing" upon retirement, and seem a little mushy in their 70s. So it goes.

Landis appeared lucid in 2023.

BTW, the word "fragment" does not appear in the referenced FBI memo. Where do you see that word?

Not with that idiotic story. It made no sense.

Neither does "whole".
