COMMENT: On Wednes­day, June 17^th, Dave observed the anniver­sary of the Water­gate break-in by high­light­ing the pro­found con­nec­tions between the Water­gate scan­dal and the assas­si­na­tion of Pres­i­dent Kennedy.

In Dal­las (Texas) on Novem­ber 22^nd, 1963, Nixon lied to the FBI in Feb­ru­ary of 1964 claim­ing the only time he was in Dal­las was two days pri­or to that date. The New York Times and San Fran­cis­co Chron­i­cle, among oth­er news­pa­pers, fea­tured a Novem­ber 21st inter­view with Nixon in that city in their 11/22/1963 edi­tions!

Begin­ning with Jack Ruby’s inter­view with the War­ren Com­mis­sion, the talk high­lights the fact that Ruby’s inter­view took place in the com­pa­ny of Com­mis­sion coun­sel Arlen Specter (who was Nixon’s first choice to rep­re­sent him in the Water­gate case), Com­mis­sion coun­sel J. Lee Rankin (who was Nixon’s first choice to be Water­gate Spe­cial Pros­e­cu­tor), War­ren Com­mis­sion mem­ber Ger­ald Ford (who was the Commission’s pri­ma­ry liai­son with J. Edgar Hoover and Nixon’s choice as Vice-Pres­i­dent) and Leon Jawors­ki (the War­ren Com­mis­sion coun­sel charged with see­ing if Oswald had any con­nec­tions to the CIA).

After becom­ing Pres­i­dent, Ford par­doned Nixon of any crimes he had com­mit­ted.

Jawors­ki had served as Water­gate Spe­cial Pros­e­cu­tor after Archibald Cox was fired. (Cox had been JFK’s Solic­i­tor Gen­er­al).

Mr. Emory reads Ruby’s War­ren Com­mis­sion tes­ti­mo­ny, in which: he begged to be tak­en to Wash­ing­ton, felt his life was in jeop­ardy, want­ed to take a lie detec­tor test and exco­ri­at­ed War­ren for his behav­ior.

Mr. Emory then reads at length from Peter Dale Scott’s unpub­lished man­u­script The Dal­las Con­spir­a­cy about Nixon and the Dal­las Repub­li­cans.

Key Points of Dis­cus­sion and Analy­sis Include: Archival mate­r­i­al doc­u­ment­ing Nixon White House staffer Charles Col­son recruit­ing Gor­don Nov­el to erase the Water­gate tapes; Mate­r­i­al from Tech­nol­o­gy Illus­trat­ed indi­cat­ing that Nov­el did erase the Water­gate tapes; An inter­view with Nov­el on a now-defunct AOR sta­tion talk show in which Nov­el respond­ed to Mr. Emory’s ques­tion “So you deny actu­al­ly hav­ing erased the Water­gate tapes?” by say­ing “Only ‘cause they didn’t pay me [for hav­ing erased the Water­gate tapes];” Nixon’s rela­tion­ship with Dal­las oil mil­lion­aire Clint Murchi­son (Sr.); Murchison’s rela­tion­ship with J. Edgar Hoover; Novel’s role infil­trat­ing New Orleans D.A. Jim Garrison’s inves­ti­ga­tion for for­mer CIA Direc­tor Allen Dulles; A birth­day par­ty for J. Edgar Hoover at Clint Murchison’s home on 11/21/1963; The atten­dees at that par­ty includ­ing: J. Edgar Hoover, Lyn­don Baines John­son, Richard Nixon, John J. McCloy (for­mer U.S. High Com­mis­sion­er for Ger­many and even­tu­al War­ren Com­mis­sion mem­ber), Ear­le Cabell (CIA agent, May­or of Dal­las and broth­er of Gen­er­al Charles Cabell Deputy Direc­tor of Cen­tral Intelligence–fired by JFK for lying to him about the Bay of Pigs), George Brown (of Brown & Root Con­struc­tion that got many of the top con­struc­tion con­tracts in South Viet­nam); JFK’s state­ment at that meet­ing to his mis­tress Madeleine Brown that after “tomor­row” those “god­damned Kennedys” would nev­er embar­rass him again.

. . . . Con­clud­ing with infor­ma­tion review­ing aspects of New Orleans Dis­trict Attor­ney Jim Gar­rison’s inves­ti­ga­tion of the Kennedy Assas­si­na­tion. The pro­gram high­lights parts of the HSCA’s inves­ti­ga­tion that sup­port Garrison’s the­sis.

HSCA Chief Coun­sel, G. Robert Blakey, once referred to the Committee’s work as ‘the last inves­ti­ga­tion.’ As such, it is only prop­er that the HSCA have the last word on Clay Shaw. On Sep­tem­ber 1, 1977, staff coun­sel Jonathan Black­mer, authored a 15-page mem­o­ran­dum addressed to Blakey, as well as staff mem­bers, Gary Corn­well, Ken Klein, and Cliff Fen­ton. Black­mer was the lead coun­sel for team 3, the HSCA team respon­si­ble for the New Orleans and Cuban angles of the inves­ti­ga­tion. After an inves­tiga­tive trip to New Orleans, Black­mer con­clud­ed in his memo: ‘We have rea­son to believe Shaw was heav­i­ly involved in the anti-Cas­tro efforts in New Orleans in the 1960’s and [was] pos­si­bly one of the high lev­el plan­ners or ‘cut out’ to the plan­ners of the assas­si­na­tion.’. . .

. . . . As Garrison’s chal­lenge to the War­ren Com­mis­sion emerged into the nation­al fore­ground, the pub­lic was unaware of what was tak­ing place at CIA head­quar­ters. On Sep­tem­ber 20, 1967, the CIA con­vened an urgent high-lev­el meet­ing, the sub­ject head­ing of which ”Gar­ri­son Group Meet­ing No1—20 Sep­tem­ber 1967” Present at this meet­ing were the CIA’s Exec­u­tive Direc­tor, Gen­er­al Coun­sel, Inspec­tor Gen­er­al and oth­ers, includ­ing Ray Roc­ca, who was James Jesus Angleton’s chief lieu­tenant in the office of coun­ter­in­tel­li­gence. At the end of this meet­ing, the so-called “Mem­o­ran­dum for the Record” record­ed and sum­ma­rized four con­clu­sions. The meet­ing was chaired, and signed, by none oth­er than my own father—“F.W.M. Jan­ney.” Even today, this signed doc­u­ment is as stag­ger­ing as it is irrefutably incriminating—not mere­ly just the prover­bial “smok­ing gun,” but a smok­ing can­non! The third con­clu­sion of the mem­o­ran­dum reads as fol­lows:

3. [Ray­mond] Roc­ca felt that Gar­ri­son would indeed obtain a con­vic­tion of Shaw for con­spir­ing to assas­si­nate Pres­i­dent Kennedy.

That state­ment was noth­ing less than pri­ma facie evi­dence of the CIA’s involve­ment in the assas­si­na­tion of a sit­ting U.S. Pres­i­dent, which amount­ed to an open, doc­u­ment­ed admis­sion by a high-lev­el CIA offi­cer—dur­ing an inter­nal CIA meet­ing—that Clay Shaw [as well as the CIA itself0 was “indeed” part of the con­spir­a­cy to assas­si­nate Pres­i­dent Kennedy. . . .
