Dallas DPD'er Joe Hill and D. Sheriff Seymour Weitzman...Saw What?

[Tom Graves]

Even threads [plural?] about some guy [allegedly] with Secret Service credentials on the Grassy Knoll on 11.22.63 revolve around Bruce Solie.

You're the perp who brought him up.

One of the unexplained curiosities of the JFKA is that not one but two law enforcement officers separately encountered a man in the GK area, in the immediate aftermath of the JFKA, who flashed a Secret Service credential at each of them. 

Sure, one can assume anyone can mistake, even a law enforcement officer looking at and noting ID 11.22.

But two law enforcement officers, men in good-standing?

AFAIK, the Weitzman and Hill were in no meaningful way connected to each other, had no agendas or axes to grind, and were not CT-addled lefties.

I conclude someone flashed a Secret Service credential at Weitzman and Hill, in separate incidents, on 11.22.

There were no Secret Service agents in the GK area on 11.22, by the records and statement of the Secret Service itself.

Moreover, no one from the Secret Service ever came forward and said, "Oh, that was me on the GK. It was my day off, but I came down to watch the motorcade."

Similarly, no one from another agency, such as the federal ATF, came forward and said, "Oh, that was me. The ATF badge resembles the SS badge." 

Of course, the location of the ersatz Secret Service-badge flasher, near the GK, is where credible witnesses saw a puff of smoke (Sam Holland and others) and where from many ear-witnesses thought they heard gunshots.

The HSCA, and Tink Thompson, say there are anomalies on photographs indicating a person was in the GK area, during the gunshots, and then left.

There is the unsettling movement of JFK's head post Z-312.

Add it up, and I have reasonable doubts about LNT's (and most CT's, but that is another topic).

In addition, there Officer Joe Smith's encounter with a man on the grassy knoll less than 40 seconds after the shooting who showed him Secret Service credentials and who prevented him from going farther. The HSCA established that there were no Secret Service agents in the plaza after the motorcade left.

Moreover, let's not forget that Officer D. V. Harkness reported that he encountered two men in suits in the rear of the TSBD shortly after the shooting and that the men told him they were Secret Service agents. Thus, one cannot say that Harkness misidentified an ID badge that was shown to him, which is what Posner and other WC apologists say happened in the case of Officer Smith. Harkness specified that the two men told him they were Secret Service.

Bagley said that LHO was a witting asset in Russia.

Given the context -- Malcolm Blunt's showing Bagley some CIA documents that indicated that all of the incoming non-CIA cables on Oswald's defection went to Solie's office in the Office of Security instead of where they would have normally gone (the Soviet Russia Division) -- Bagley said in so many words that since that sort of re-routing had to be arranged in advance, someone in the CIA must have sent Oswald to Moscow, and therefore Oswald must have known he was being sent to Moscow by someone in the CIA . . . and as a "dangle" in a mole hunt.

The only question is: was he sent on an America-protecting kind of mole hunt, or one designed to protect a KGB mole by getting it to focus on the wrong part of the CIA?
