I hadn't realized what a mealy mouth.. pencil neck ..backside covering flunkie JE Hoover really was.
Consider the content in page one above absolving his precious FBI from any responsibility for the assassination.
The Oswald case was one of many thousands...the FBI handled 636,371 investigations...
Exactly?
Then Hoover lays out a statement indicating every reason to make the Oswald case a priority--
A file was opened concerning Oswald at the time newspapers reported his defection to Russia in 1959
So the FBI got their information from the press? Also I thought Oswald had TRIED to defect to the
Soviet Union.He [Oswald] was considered a security risk in the event he returned..
Then that should have narrowed down those 636K+ investigations I would think.
We learned in 1960 that his mother was sending him money.
That right there was grounds for defrauding the government and lying on his military request for a hardship discharge.
Oswald was suppose to be supporting his mother!... He should have been extradited from the USSR and tried and sentenced in federal court!
Why did Hoover cover all this up?
