1) Howard Brennan lied at the lineup because he was scared for his family.
Brennan lied?
How so?
Mr. BELIN. Now, is there anything else you told the officers at the time of the lineup?
Mr. BRENNAN. Well,
I told them I could not make a positive identification.
Mr. BELIN. When you told them that, did you ever later tell any offlcer or investigating person anything
different?
Mr. BRENNAN. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. When did that happen?
Mr. BRENNAN. I believe some days later-I don’t recall exactly-and I believe the Service man identifled hisself as being Williams, I believe, from Houston. I won’t swear to that-whether his name was Williams or not.
Mr. BELIN. All right.
Mr. BRENNAN. And he could have been an FBI. As far as I remember, it could have been FBI instead of Secret Service.
But I believe it was a Secret Service man from Houston.
And I-
Mr. BELIN. What did he say to you and what did you say to him?
Mr. BRENNAN. Well, he asked me-he said, “You said you couldn’t make a positive identification.”
He said, “Did you do that for security reasons personally, or couldn’t you?’ And
I told him I could with all honesty, but I did it more or less for security reasons--my family and myself.
