The evidence of Oswald's guilt was overwhelming. His guilt is a foregone conclusion from that perspective. The authorities were understandably concerned that WWIII not be started on the basis of false rumors disseminated by kooks of the involvement of Russia or Cuba. That is a perfectly legitimate reason to want the public to be satisfied of Oswald's guilt. Not because it was false, but because it was true.
My reasonable doubt is reasonable, I can support that the investigation was shoddy in major areas....the rifle and scope,
and Bowen/Grossi and Bowen/Osborne, both reportedly seen with Oswald. How, other than the WC report, do you come by such confidence?
You write as if you drive down the road, perceiving your view out of any window of your vehicle, especially the view through
the windshield is the world. You trust your view to provide you with discernment in when to, and the degree of steering and stop, go, speed level, and even when to switch wipers on and adjust wiper speed. You don't know what you don't know, an example is if you have no view of
the sky directly above from your driver's seat. You don't consider what you don't know, not even giving that blind spot/info gap a thought, maybe because you are quite satisfied from your experience avoiding accidents, or even close brushes with collision. You've got this!
The investigative responsibilities of the WC, especially with foreign threats including an evenly nuclear weapons armed, super power rival constantly competing for advantage on every level, were not similar to driving a car. A lone male suspect, a former USMC enlistee who
was freshly returned with a Soviet wife, a suspect with the weight of Priscilla Johnson's and Richard Schneider's impressions of this suspect's
mindset in the same week in Moscow in late 1959, misguided, diverging from expectations of a USMC volunteer like the ones they both were so accustomed to seeing in their dress blues, ever present in the Moscow embassy.
I don't know about you but I do my homework with the goal of
learning what questions I need to ask. Reading the well supported evidence I already have posted in this thread, and considering the following, how would you rate the FBI's handling of its purported "Bowen Investigation" component of the thorough inquiry the WC depended on the FBI to conduct and share the results of and be responsive to WC followup questions prompting additional investigation. The only key agency performing more incompetently,
on the surface where no suspicion diminished confidence in either agency, was the CIA during the Sept, 1963 weekend the FBI and CIA seemed to conclude Oswald
had visited Mexico City during the allegedly unique window of time during and after which the CIA demonstrated
an inability to conduct or
preserve per SOP, either visual or audio surveillance of Oswald's alleged interactions with personnel in two foreign missions in MC, both under constant CIA supervised or conducted surveillance.

WWI draft card.
Last year I called the SSA to report the 1962 death of John Howard Bowen. The SSA clerk I talked with confirmed no notification of
Bowen's death was ever received. I informed the SSA clerk of 3 or 4 Bowen SS #s and pointed her to the Terminal, NC place of Bowen's
death and of the cemetery address. She informed me the SSA has a purge program of all recipients over 120 years old. Did SSA continue
to send checks to Bowen in Terminal, NC from his 1962 death until 2018?
