Dan, an attorney, worked with Edwin Lopez and Robert Blakey in the HSCA

This interview from 2017, show #822

The HSCA Lopez-Hardway Report, Oswald, the CIA, and Mexico City

When Dan was getting too close to certain issues, CIA brought in George Joannides

Joannides covered-up David Phillips' propaganda activities linking Oswald to Castro

Phillips was not rogue, possibly he was used from within the Agency

Dan did this work 40 years ago, he has not had the time to keep up with research

There was Intelligence involvement in setting up the cover-up in advance

Was CIA involved in the assassination? We tried not to speculate

Is CIA suspect? Yes. Evidence? Clearly enough to merit further investigation

The built-in function of plausible deniability, propaganda, black operations

Oswald could not have been set up better, very sophisticated, detail and coordination

OurHiddenHistory's Oswald, the CIA, and Mexico City audiobook

There is evidence Oswald went to Mexico City. Did he go? I don't know

Evidence, indications, testimony, records, questionable

A distinct possibility he could have been impersonated in Mexico City

The kind of details we get hung up in, in an Intelligence operation, we can expect

Pretty sure a photo was obtained and a tape recording survived, they ended up in Dallas

FBI saw a photo and heard a tape, neither one of them were of Oswald

Gary Cornwell wasn't very supportive of Dan and Eddie

Most HSCA staffers were at least agnostic on the issue of conspiracy

Eddie and Dan got a lot of insulation from Bob (Blakey)

Sprague and Tanenbaum, went in thinking they could act like prosecuting attorneys

A Congressional Investigation could not indict, did not have prosecutor authority

When it blew up, they left, a huge mess, doubt whether it would finish

What Blakey could do was produce a report and suggest legislation

Dan started in the dark, they found the basis of what the ARRB found and disclosed

Cover-up does not prove conspiracy, other possible motivations to cover-up

CIA admitted participating in a benign cover-up, Thank You Phil Shenon (10/2015)

Dan's blog, realhillbillyviews.blogspot.com

CIA was declassifying the Lopez-Hardway report at three days per four paragraphs

Someone, maybe CIA, made marginalia notes in the declassified draft

People plotting to kill Castro, could have been in on killing Kennedy

It takes painstaking work to pull out the threads and make the connections

It's now a historical rather then a forensic investigation

Select Committees are limited in time, purpose, and funding

Speculation, animosity about the King investigation, Southern congressman

Mickey Goldsmith, sharp, supportive, backed up Dan and Eddie with CIA

Our motto was "Reality is Irrelevant"
