LHO as KGB, G-2 Asset or Double Agent?

[Steve M. Galbraith]

Thanks for your collegial comments.

The HSCA concluded there had been a gunshot from the GK, and certainly many witnesses thought so. Sam Holland and co-workers thought they saw smoke on the GK. 

Modern guns can and do smoke, depending on the ammo, and how recently the barrel has been lubed. A snub-nose .38 gives off more smoke than guns with longer barrels, and makes a louder bang, and is easily concealed. Even gun enthusiasts report lots of smoke from "cheap ammo" such as the "Egyptian" brand.

A Dallas sheriff and a Dallas PD officer both said they encountered a man flashing Secret Service credentials on the GK.

As for the acoustical evidence...I don't understand any of it.

I can see the Z-film on line, frame by fame, draw my own conclusions.

So as I say, IMHO, caveat emptor, and draw your own conclusions.

The HSCA did not conclude there was a gunshot from the GK.

Here is what they said (note the qualifiers in the phrasing):
 

A high probability is not a conclusion. And "other scientific evidence does not preclude the possibility of two gunmen" is not a conclusion either.

SMG-

I think you are technically correct, regarding the HSCA.

Later, in one of the many JFKA conferences, Blakey said he did not know where the shot from the GK went...so I deduce Blakey thought there had been a shot from the GK.

I think there was a gunshot at the GK during the JFKA, resulting in the smoke-and-bang show.

I don't know where the bullet went either.
