Ford: Warren Commisson had doubts
Ford told FBI about doubts on JFK murder
WASHINGTON – Former President Ford secretly advised the FBI that two of his fellow members on the Warren Commission doubted the FBI’s conclusion that John F. Kennedy was shot from the sixth floor of the Texas Book Depository in Dallas, according to newly released records from Ford’s FBI files.
A newly released memorandum provides more details about Ford’s role as the FBI’s informant. DeLoach wrote on Dec. 17, 1963, to outline what Ford told him in the congressman’s office about the commission meeting the day before.
“Two members of the commission brought up the fact that they still were not convinced that the President had been shot from the sixth floor window of the Texas Book Depository,” DeLoach wrote. “These members failed to understand the trajectory of the slugs that killed the President. He stated he felt this point would be discussed further but, of course, would represent no problem.”
There was no explanation of what Ford meant by “no problem.”</em>
Hard to imagine what a radically different America we would have today if this episode of its history had been actually investigated fully.
