RIP to the Single-bullet theory?

[Michael Capasse]

The SBT comes to mind…

Hoover wasn't aware of that? - He didn't approve it?

[John Iacoletti]

You are conflating issues.  The claim being addressed was that there were many shots.  More than three.  The witness testimony is compelling that there was a maximum of three shots. 

Only “compelling” to people like you who never examine what you are told as long as it’s what you want to hear, and who don’t understand how human memory works.

When were most of these witnesses asked?

Hoover wasn't aware of that? - He didn't approve it?

He wouldn’t have approved of anything that shed some “bad light” on the FBI. But, to Hoover’s displeasure, the WC wasn’t controlled by the FBI. Both the FBI and Secret Service concluded initially that 3 separate shots all hit the occupants of the limo. The WC questioned their conclusions and came up with the SBT (without Tague’s help).

Really? - which WC member?

- Redlich is talking 3 shot 3 hits all the way until late April. and he led the meetings.
Then, FBI allowed Shaneyfelt to build the SBT, for the WC because of a missed shot.

The FBI complied with the requests of the WC. The SBT originated in February. It was an attempt to explain where the bullet went after it exited JFK’s throat. Tague’s account was not involved at this stage. Redlich was a special assistant to Rankin. He did not lead all of the meetings. April comes before May. May is when the reenactment happened. Your claim that Tague caused the SBT is simply not true.

There’s nothing in the alleged Willens journal transcript at jfk.org that indicates that the SBT was being formulated in early February. In fact, I don’t see anything about the SBT in the entire document.

Redlich was Executive Assistant to Chief Counsel, J. Lee Rankin.  - He was building the report as the components came in.
Late April the executive branch of the WC were writing 3-shot 3-hits. You haven't shown anything otherwise.

Then, public news of a missed shot forced that to change.

June 5, 1964 is the date that Lehrer wrote the story. June comes after May. The reenactment was in May. The origins of the SBT pre-dated June 5, 1964 by over 3-months.

“Truth Withheld” by James T. Tague, p. 86:

June 11, 1964: Assistant Counsel Arlen Spector made a memorandum to General Counsel J. Lee Rankin. “If additional depositions are taken in Dallas, I suggest that Jim Tague, 2424 Inwood, Apartment 253, and
Virgie Rackley (Richie), 405 Wood Street be deposed to determine the knowledge of each on where the bullet struck. These two witnesses were mentioned in the early FBI reports, but they have never been deposed.[/i.

The news report got the attention of the WC. And they asked for more information. But the SBT had already been conceived in February, and tested in May. Therefore Tague had nothing to do with the origins of it. This is my point.
