The only thing "weak" around here is your ability to scrutinize the truth. Marina 'said' she went and checked this blanket. Don't you understand that this testimony was rehearsed? Can't you comprehend that she did not speak English that well and that Mrs Paine was the sole source of information there? If there was a rifle in her own garage..why would Ruth not know about it?
Where to even start? How else was Marina supposed to communicate the fact that she checked the blanket after learning of that the shots had been fired from the TSBD other than to "say" she did so? Why would she lie about this? That would have to be an intentional lie and not a mistake as there is no ambiguity about the act or her motivation. And EVEN if you had some credible basis to call this into question there are multiple witnesses that confirm that she directed the police to the blanket just a short time later. Thus, Marina knew from the very beginning of the investigation before there was any opportunity to "coerce" or "rehearse" her actions to confirm that there had been a rifle in the blanket. Here you alleging that both Marina and Ruth Paine are lying about this. That is absurd. How would Ruth Paine not know there was a rifle in her garage? What a great question for your fantasy conspirators because if Paine had been involved and willing to lie on their behalf she would have said things like she was aware that he kept a rifle in the garage, she heard him being critical of JFK, and that Oswald was a violent person capable of the act. None of which she ever told the WC. You have basically undermined the bizarre fantasy that Paine was lying for the WC.
