But Marina was hardly in on the whole thing. How come she never mentioned this detail?
But nowhere in DeMohrenschildt's testimony does he mention this supposed incident.
Neither did his wife who was allegedly there. Nor Marina who was allegedly there. At the time Epstein interviewed De Mohrenschildt he was apparently quite mentally ill. He had tried to kill himself twice.
So we have none of the people including George mentioning this in their testimonies or, as far as I can tell, at other times (it's not in the McMillan book) other than this claim. Correction: Jeane De Mohrenschildt did give this account but she didn't say that Marina said the money came from George.
Mr. JENNER. Had anything been said up to this point in your acquaintance with the Oswalds of his having had a rifle, or a shotgun, in Russia?
Mrs. De MOHRENSCHILDT. No.
Mr. JENNER. No discussion of any hunting in Russia?
Mrs. De MOHRENSCHILDT. In fact, we never even knew that he was a sharp-shooter or something. We never knew about it.
Mr. JENNER. No discussion of that?
Mrs. De MOHRENSCHILDT. No discussion at all. She [Marina] just said, we are so short of money, and this crazy lunatic buys a rifle. This is what she told me. And you know what happened after that.
Mr. JENNER. Please. Tell me everything she said on this occasion.
Mrs. De MOHRENSCHILDT. I think the most important thing is, that crazy lunatic bought a rifle when we really need money for other things.
Mr. JENNER. And she also said he took it out in the park and was shooting it.
Mrs. De MOHRENSCHILDT. Something like that; yes.
