In reply to the discussion: The Dismissal of Maj. Gen. Edwin A. Walker - A special report by Cong. Morris K. Udall [View all]Octafish
(55,745 posts)34. Walker friend @ FBI DESTROYED EVIDENCE given to them by Lee Harvey Oswald BEFORE JFK assassination.
This DEMONSTRATES the leadership of the federal government's police agencies obstructed justice in the investigation of the assassination of President Kennedy.
Jim Hosty played bridge regularly with Robert Surrey, a close aide to General Edwin Walker, a leader of the radical Right Wing Minutemen in the area, whom John Kennedy had fired. Surrey had published the extremist handbill distributed on the street the day JFK died, attacking him. Hosty's job was surveilling radicals, the KKK, the Minutemen, Communists and so on. Maybe playing cards and extending friendship to Surrey was in the line of duty, like Oswald's gonorrhea contracted in Japan noted in his record as "in the line of duty."

It also connects said officials to individuals themselves directly connected to the liberal, peace-loving, equality for all, Democratic president's murder. While this doesn't prove anything, it does show one way the ultraright-ultrarich have gotten away with murder -- and treason -- ever since, whether making a killing at the Wall Street casino requiring multi-trillion bailouts or killing a million Iraqis for their oil or 20 million Congolese for their gold: It's WHO you know.

One theory is that Oswald was on his way to shoot Walker when he encountered Officer Tippit.

As Jack Ruby killed Oswald while in police custody, we'll never get the full story.
