Hoover’s effort to “convince the public that Oswald” was lone assassin…

[Martin Weidmann]

You are really suggesting here that by Nov. 25 the authorities did not know that Hidell was an alias used by Oswald?  He had such an ID in his wallet when arrested!  The authorities knew the rifle found was linked to Oswald per Klein's via both Oswald's PO Box AND an alias he was known to use.  And now you are admitting there was a roll call!  Wow.  Oswald had been questioned.  He failed to provide a credible alibi or explanation for the presence of his rifle.  Instead he lied.  There was no doubt of his guilt as of the time the memo was written.  Nevertheless, the federal government conducted the most extensive investigation in criminal history on their own motion.  It was not required.

They might have suspected it, but they had no way of knowing until they examined the handwriting on the order documents.

He had such an ID in his wallet when arrested!

Really? Are you sure about that? When Paul Bentley took Oswald's wallet from him in the car he only found an ID in Oswald's name. The first time the Hidell ID showed up was when Gus Rose was given a wallet at the police station, by a never identified officer, who told him that it was Oswald's wallet. There is not one single DPD report by any of the officers in the car with Oswald that says Bentley found a Hidell ID.

And now you are admitting there was a roll call!  Wow.

When did I ever deny there was a roll call at the TSBD?

There was no doubt of his guilt as of the time the memo was written.  Nevertheless, the federal government conducted the most extensive investigation in criminal history on their own motion.  It was not required.

If you say so...

So it was dishonest and incomplete to say:  "All they knew within 48 hours of the assassination is that, according to Kleins' the rifle they found at the TSBD was ordered and sold to somebody called A. Hidell."  The authorities knew that A. Hidell was a known alias associated with Oswald and that the Klein's order reflected a PO Box that belonged to Oswald.  They had a sound basis within less than 48 hours to conclude that the rifle found at the crime scene belonged to Oswald.  And that this rifle had been used to assassinate JFK (e,g, witnesses saw a rifle pointed out the 6th floor window at the moment of the assassination).  When asked about this rifle Oswald lied and could not account for its presence there.  A sound basis to conclude that Oswald was guilty but one they decided to investigate further without any legal obligation to do so after he was dead.

No they didn't know that.

that the Klein's order reflected a PO Box that belonged to Oswald.

I seriously doubt they knew that when Katzenbach wrote his memo

They had a sound basis within less than 48 hours to conclude that the rifle found at the crime scene belonged to Oswald.

No they didn't. They had bits and pieces of information that needed to be put together by further investigation. What you are talking about is a rush to judgement

And that this rifle had been used to assassinate JFK

BS. All they knew is that a rifle had been found on the 6th floor of the TSBD. They didn't even know if it had been fired, because nobody checked.

When asked about this rifle Oswald lied

You can only conclude that he lied if you have previously established that it was in fact his rifle. That hasn't been done conclusively until today.

A sound basis to conclude that Oswald was guilty but one they decided to investigate further without any legal obligation to do so after he was dead.

    You're funny.... yes they "investigated further, but only based on the assumption that Oswald was the lone nut gunman.

FACT: Hoover and Katzenbach in essence, were not interested in the evidence in the case - within 48 hours, or 48 years - by their own words... they were interested in a cover-up...
FACT: Hoover and Katzenbach actually planned to hide from the public any evidence to suggest that Oswald was not a lone assassin...
VERY LIKELY FACT: Hoover and Katzenbach planned the cover-up to protect themselves and their cohorts...

Is there information still being hidden from the public?

Hi Jake...  You da man!    I always enjoy your posts because you post FACTS.

There probably isn't any crucial evidence still being hidden ( anything that was incriminating to the authorities and unknown to the public has probably been destroyed.)   However, there is ample evidence that reveals the treachery and perfidy of the authorities, but unfortunately most of that evidence has been "debunked" with LNer BS.   

There is ample evidence.... but most folks simply cannot accept that a venerated institution like the FBI  could be so corrupt.

And therein lies the major hurdle...... 

[Jake Maxwell]

Yes, most likely some evidence destroyed...
