For anyone interested in Richard Case Nagal story , see the below book
Review on him . His story is fascinating yet tragic . The info he possessed on LHO pre assasination is astonishing ( as it should be given his assignment to monitor LHO )
The book is excellent and the link below is a good review and fact checker . Jim DiEugeno is the best jfk assasination fact checker out there .
http://www.ctka.net/reviews/russell_review_2.htmlIt also highlights the WC strategy of just disregarding any info that did not support the LHO lone nut ( a recently declassified document confirms Nagal told the FBI in dec 1963 that he knew LHO in Texas and Mexico yet his name was never even mentioned in the WC despite Nagal having clear CIA ties ) . Unfortunately the day after the AARB subpoenaed him to testify and for documents he was found dead. Ironically this is exactly what happened to another very important witness George de mohrenschildt as the day after hsca investigator Fonzi went to his house to set up an interview he shot himself in the head with a shotgun . George De was a good friend of Bush sr , even writing him a letter that is available asking for help and that he never should of opened his mouth up about LHO and that he was being followed was a CIA handler who was told to befriend LHO in Dallas ( likely to be his CIA care taker ) but who was a fierce Anti communist Russian . As time passed George was very upset in how he was used to help in the jfk hit .
If you want additional info on how dishonest the WC was , just do a little research on Richard Russell ( D - GA ) . An individual studied all of his writings and found documents detailing how strongly he disagreed with the magic bullet theory ( without this the LHO acted alone was impossible ) but unfortunately Dulles pulled a fast one on him to ensure his dissent ( which Russell wanted in the official report ) never saw the light of day . Dulles made sure the stenographer was not present that day to transcribe Russell dissent ( which was so compelling that another WC member Hale Boggs and one other joined in his dissent ) but made his secretary attend the meeting to provide the deception that someone was making a transcript . Unfortunately due to this no transcript was made to capture his dissent which resulted in the appearance that their investigation was agreed to by every member ( unanimous ) and give it more weight .
Like I said earlier , the information is out there including actual names who were involved ( CIA - Ferrie , Shaw , Del Valle Phillips , Howard Hunt, Angelton , Aplha66 a Sergio Archa Smith , Del Valle , Diaz Garcia , LHO , Guy Bannister with likely Texas oil men as the financial backers ) but it takes a lot of time to figure out what happened as our investigative bodies deliberately his this info or destroyed it but the AARB did an excellent job on filling some holes ( mainly that LHO was surrounded by men in intelligence ( no lone nut here ) . Hopefully the next round of declassification in 2017 provides further info .
As just an FYI , their was a civil case with E Howard Hunt vs Liberty Media that resulted in a jury believing that a conspiracy to kill jfk did occur . Not to mention the HSCA final report that concluded their was a probable conspiracy with unknown conspirators and the justice dept should re open the jfk murder case . The fact that this did not happen shows how powerful these people were . This case put numerous CIA officers on the witness stand that was crucial , individuals that Jim Garrison could not as various states would not grant Garrison extradition requests ( which is unheard of for a case like this but we all know the reason why ).
