Thanks for correcting me Steve, I should have researched and not relied on memory......not sure what is the scarier outcome in this instance.
No problem, many Americans - even reporters - make the same mistake all of the time. It's an odd word to use - impeachment - when it's really just indictment.

The scariest for me is that he's convicted and then runs for the Presidency again and is elected. The Senate can disqualify an officer (President, Judge) from holding future office; so we may see them try to do this (swell).

The Founders were brilliant men (yes, they compromised over the evil of slavery but what was the alternative at that time?) but would be perplexed at how to handle constitutionally someone like Trump. He's clearly unsuited for office, is a disgrace, a narcissitic thug, but I'm not quite persuaded that his acts warrant removal. I'd like him out of office but I want to do so in a fair manner. His supporters are wrong; but they're Americans too who have a voice in this.

Colin, an opportunity has presented itself here to have a facts supported discussion centering on Garrison, his investigation, and the money that supported it.
I hope you will participate in your evenhanded, scholarly way I appreciate is unusual around here.

1938... Willard E Robertson was a 30 year old store clerk selling suits adjacent to the Yale Univ. campus in Connecticut.

1944... Willard E Robertson, after brief stints managing a sandwich shop and then a tavern, both adjacent to the Yale Univ. campus in Connecticut,
Robertson was listed in the regional directory employed as a "woodworker" at a defense plant owned by Allen Dulles Princeton, 1914,  classmate, Jack Churchward, located in an adjacent town.

Hypothetically, o'course!.....(Just talking "out of school")

I have always thought. "Follow the Money" was basic, obvious. Oliver Stone spent $43 million, Harold Weissberg authored
book after book. Then came Davy, Mellen, DiEugenio, and Morley. Which of them, if any, delved into the money behind both INCA
and the Garrison investigation and prosecution of Clay Shaw?...

Looking from afar I wonder how you go from "ask not what your country...." and "we choose to go to the moon..." to the self serving gibberish of the present occupant? As an Australian I apologise for the influence of Rupert on all of us.

Colin, I am not in "monitor mode"....I was inclined to point out to you the fact Steve posted of. My comment to you
was a plea. Posters here willing to discuss the dubious (uncorroborated) claims of Patsy Ruth Billings Lambert....
(anyone ever seen a pic or vid of her or point me to any live presentation by this evidently highly regarded author?)

....but no discussion  ever ensues in reaction to what I actually have proven. In fact, DiEugenio, instead of arguing facts I unearthed, which are impossible to refute, instead associated me with Max Holland.

I genuinely seek your reaction to my facts suggesting Garrison and Shaw may have been on the same side!

To be honest Tom I have never delved much into the Garrison case much at all. I have focussed much of my efforts on the key witness documents that are available to all at NARA. I know that you are suspicious of his motivation. I am aware of some of the various components of Garrison's work, through the works of Anthony Summers, eg the 544 Camp St./Bannister/Ferrie claims and Clinton sighting.

Colin, I appreciate your reply. Maybe my nose is simply too sensitive. Author Lambert has been quite close to two people. Lifton and Phelan.
Phelan was taught the newspaper biz by his employer of ten years, by 1945, an uncle of Clark Clifford.

Tom: These "connections" are potentially interesting but Lambert's claims in her book stand or fall based on the evidence she presents and not whether she had some sort of relationship with "X" or "Y."

I think your theory that, if I understand it, Garrison's investigation was some sort of deliberate "sham" meant to distract or divert attention from the real murderers and/or a real investigation is incredibly weak.

Assuming for the sake of your argument that it WAS intended to divert attention away from a followup investigation to the WC how is Lambert exposing Garrison's investigation as a fraud more than 30 years later part of this, well, conspiracy? Doesn't her exposure support your theory that Garrison never intended to go after the "real murderers" of JFK? And exposing him three decades later? For what purpose? I don't see how her work supports your hypothesis.

As to Lambert: I believe she died last year from cancer. Or perhaps this year. Recently.
