Dan Rather: I felt a shudder down my spine yesterday watching Donald Trump

[Octafish]

89. There was no ''Secret Service agent...riding on the bumper.''

Those guys got ordered OFF the bumper at Love Field.

From footage found, I understand, in a dumpster outside ABC Dallas in the late 90's:

Afterward, in William Manchester's book, Death of a President, we see the "official story" of what happened:

"Kennedy grew weary of seeing bodyguards roosting behind him every time he turned around, and in Tampa on November 18 (1963), just four days before his death, he dryly asked Agent Floyd Boring to 'keep those Ivy League charlatans off the back of the car.' Boring wasn't offended. There had been no animosity in the remark." (1988 Harper & Row/Perennial Library edition, pp. 37-38)

The thing is PRESIDENT KENNEDY NEVER SAID THAT.

Not until 35 years later do we learn the truth, though, when the great investigator Vincent Palamara asked the Secret Service agents who were there what happened in 1963:

Agents Go On Record

There are a dozen or so other inaccuracies in Dan's report of Nov. 25, 1963. Perhaps they were done to keep LBJ happy, seeing how all the "evidentiary trail" led straight from the Texas School Book Depository to the Cuban embassy in Mexico City and to the KGB assassination desk at the Soviet embassy in M.C. and from there to World War III. Who'd want THAT?

Thank you for grokking, Jesus Malverde!
