Howard Brennan, the unwrinkled bus transfer, Dallas Transit owner Harry Weinberg

[Walt Cakebread]

Amazing guy, that Oswald...

He is supposed to have been in the sniper's nest at 12:15 yet BRW does not see or hear him. Witnesses see a man dressed in light clothing, so LNs think he must have removed his shirt. However, fibers of that shirt allegedly get stuck on the rifle. Instead of concentrating on the - already running late - motorcade arriving at any time, he finds the time to observe and track Norman and Jarman as they make their way to the back of the building. Could be important, right? Then, after firing the rifle, he is supposed to have run down the stairs, where he isn't seen by at least two girls who are known to have been on the stairs post shots or anybody else for that matter and when he is seen by Truly and Baker at the 2nd floor lunchroom, less than 90 seconds later, he is suddenly wearing his shirt again. But not for long, because as he leaves the building he takes it off again and hides it from view from Mrs. Reid only to put it back on for Bledsoe to see it on the bus.


fibers of that shirt allegedly get stuck on the rifle.

No, that's not correct....  The tuft of fibers that the FBI found on the butt of the carcano matched the ARREST shirt......  Lee had gone to his room and changed clothes.... He had removed the dark brown shirt (not light colored khaki) that he had been wearing at the TSBD and put on a clean shirt before going to the theater.

Wow... just wow

The notion that fantasy conspirators somehow faked Oswald's presence on the bus is among one of the more puzzling CTers claims (which is saying a great deal).  Why would they fake a bus trip that takes Oswald nowhere?  Imagine the risk for no apparent gain.  Let's assume they faked the bus ride to cover up some other means that Oswald gets to his boarding house.  How do they know the bus gets stuck in traffic?  How do they arrange a fake cab ride?  Why bother if they wanted Oswald to be caught or killed in the aftermath?  How would they know they could convince those on a random bus to confirm, or at least not contradict, Oswald's presence?  The bus ride to nowhere is ludicrous as part of planned event as it achieves no real objective, entails significant risk, and requires real-time knowledge of the bus, its passengers etc.

And as is the case with all of Richard?s straw men, nobody suggested that ?conspirators? faked the bus trip.

They managed to get from their window on the fourth floor down to the first floor in 45 seconds or less.

Did they?

According to Victoria Adams, they did.

Meanwhile back to the bus.....why would someone walk 6 or 7 blocks while observing obviously stalled traffic... board this particular bus and then get off because it's not going anywhere?

Since RD Matthews' aunt, Adelaide Seuter Germany, was married and had a son with Mary Bledsoe's uncle, Jewell
R Germany, and Mary was such a dubious witness,
https://www.jfkassassinationforum.com/index.php/topic,771.msg25998.html#msg25998
along with her son, Porter Bledsoe, who allegedly made $4 selling the calendar
evidence supporting an recent Oswald/Bledsoe relationship, and bus driver McWatters likely mistook his passenger,
Roy Milton Jones for an allegedly irrationally present Oswald, the only solid evidence is the bus transfer.

If it is reasonable to expect jailers to screen carefully an incoming arrestee accused of killing a cop in the recent
90 minutes, it is reasonable to expect a bus transfer, live revolver rounds, no more often than a razor blade, would have escaped the intake/booking stage search regimen of the Dallas City jailers.

Before you jump the gun, please first explain why Oswald who already had trouble finding a job and only got the TSBD job because he lied, left the building within 3 minutes of the assassination?

'jump the gun'

Good one... a perfect description of Iacoletti, who seems to have a need to try the case separately, on every single tree, while ignoring the forest. CTers conveniently ignore the fact that cases cannot be tried piecemeal; they need to be tried on the accumulated evidence.

I have high confidence that a reasonable person can see that the accumulated circumstantial  evidence would be worthy of being accepted as such at trial. It has been shown to my satisfaction that these many pieces regarding, for example, Oswald's first-time-ever actions (in several incidences) that day amount to more than mere coincidence.

A house burns down and the owner of the house, who is only two blocks away and is a heavy smoker, just happens to have a lighter on him.... now isn't that a coincidence?
