James Files Truth or Fantasy?

[Lee Wotton]

Does anyone have any cited evidence to prove James Files account as false?

James Files was due to be released from prison sometime this spring .To listen to Files speak about Nov 22 and the shot that he took to blow out the back of JFK's head makes one think that Files could have been involved. He implies that Charles Nicoletti was shooting frpm the TSBD and that LHO never fired a shot from the TSBD. It seemed that Files dropped a lot of names while talking about that day but that all the names he dropped were those who were already dead. I'm a believer of the blasted out back of the head on JFK , but that's just the way I see it. I've watched the You Tube confession by Files and there is a lot to be said about a lot of things that happened that day . If someone was telling us the truth about that day , we might not believe it because there has been so many different scenarios .

He must be lying awake at night terrified. I mean he's confessing to murdering JFK and his own twin brother.

And isn't that what the CIA does best...? Lie and deceive until all has run amok in confusion.

Would the JFK Assassination have gone full bore if all the players ( CIA , FBI , Military and the Mob ) would have left what happened that day in Dallas just go through the motions ? 3 can keep a secret if 2 are dead . Not really , huh !

Oh, I'm sure Judyth Vary Baker could, uh, straighten you out on this, uh...... her and her friend Oliver.

Hard to prove a negative.
While I was only a year old at the time, I have no proof that I was not the shooter.
My parents are dead, and my older brother was just 3 at the time, so he is not reliable. Therefore, in your world, I am a suspect.

More importantly, Files has no proof to back his "story".

In brief, NBC retained me as a consultant for their planned story on Files. I hired the detective firm of Jules Kroll. JK established from telephone records Files was in Chicago, not Dallas, on November 22,1963. We then placed a call to Files from Dick Clark's office (DC was producer), and I interviewed Files about Kroll findings. He said he had a twin brother, who no one knew about, and whom he met shortly before November 22, and who he murdered after November 22. He said it was his twin brother in hospital with his wife, not him. His wife, however, said there was no twin, and Kroll confirmed there was no twin. My view then and now is that Files invented the story for the money it would earn him.
