I have followed the case since the beginning. There is one piece of
evidence that I believe has been mostly overlooked by most of the
material. That is the ammunition clip. Can anyone give me an
account of where it was found, where purchased, why no
fingerprints. This is part of the question of why I can find
no employee who saw Oswald bring anything into the building
that day.
Just discovered your site, looks fantastic and I can’t wait to spend some time going through it.
I have one question/comment on the JFK shooting that has puzzled me since I first began studying it years ago. It never made sense to me that the Kennedy family did not seem to aggressively pursue answers in JFK’s assassination. RFK, although obviously devastated by his brother’s death, was still the Attorney General and the Kennedy family was still the most powerful family in the country. Is it possible that the book Ultimate Sacrifice answers that question in that RFK instinctively knew what had happened immediately and that there was no reason to investigate what he already knew?
I would be curious what other people on your site think of the accuracy of this particular conclusion from the book. Thank you.
There is some conflicting data on what the family tried to find out, but it is obvious that nothing was done publicly.
RFK may have known on the weekend of the assassination that there were others involved that could be connected back to the war against Castro that he himself was involved in.
With LBJ as his boss, and Hoover as the man who ran the investigation, RFK had much less power than we sometimes think. Add to that the paralyzing effect of the grief.
