Its nonsense and the communist lines are clear as a bell. why the cia backs off from making that clear connection i do not know. >> neil: well it is what it is what im wondering though its going to affect all of this stuff so someone into making conspiracies can make more money here. >> this probably created more conspiracy theory. >> charles: a lot more questions and ultimately people will cherry pick whatever they want from the report and they will try to bolster that argument. >> and throwing...

John f. kennedy assassination, according to the released files, the fbi tried to track down a stripper named kitty. and another one names candy cane said kitty was connected to night club owner jack ruby. stay with us. now stay with us. hes the man who shot kennedys assassin lee harvey oswald days after he shot the president. >> according to the files, kitty was never found because she reportedly committed suicide in the months before the assassination. that is just one of the stories coming fro...

She revealed and it was noted to be false when kennedy was in san francisco with his wife at the time of the death. and even before oswald was killed by jack ruby, there was a warning his life was in jeopardy. a memo from then fbi director j. edgar hoover revealed the day after jfk was killed they got a call from a man talking in a calm voice saying he was a member of a committee organized to kill odd wald and they the fbi shared that information with the dallas police chief and he was assured a...

J edgar hoovers concern as jack ruby who killed lee harvey oswald two days after the assassination, and conspiracy theories will go on forever. >> if there was a smoking gun wouldnt we have heard about it by now? >> i think you are absolutely right. the reason, if you look at the past major public opinion poll in the 50th anniversary, 29% of americans thought it was a loan assessment, 50% conspiracy, the number is as close as it has been since the assassination, 90% after stone. people are sayin...

Tom, what have you and your team found? >> well, we have a lot of people looking at all this, anderson. and ill tell you, their a lot to look at. almost 2,900 documents were released. this is just one of them. 14 pages of handwritten notes. very hard to get through all of this. what we have found so far, though, is intriguing. for example, there is a record of oswald calling a kgb agent while he was in mexico city a few weeks before the assassination, asking about something going on in washingto...

Its confusing. tom foreman used the word confusing. and boy, i can back that up. there is no owners manual to this stuff. theres no clear guide. in 25 years you think they would have put together something that was intelligible for the public, but they did not. >> yeah. hugh, explain why you think this new information coming out tonight will only fuel conspiracy theories? >> well, our society leans toward that direction. everybody wants to be somebody. thats what lee harvey oswald wanted to be s...

Yet you say the conspiracy theories will persist. why do you say that? >> well, you know, i think these documents are going to be really interesting and really important when we see them all. we really saw only a tiny fraction of them tonight. and not the most important ones. but i think theyre going to show that, indeed, the u.s. government, the cia and fbi, in particular, had a lot of information before the assassination to suggest this man, lee harvey oswald, was a danger. i agree. theres a c...

Interesting, nonetheless, deciding decid deciding to withhold their release. but they are part of the assassination collection. one interesting document that ive noticed, and i havent looked at all of them, is a document from two days after the assassination. if you want to see examples of federal bungling, this is a document that the house assassination committee found apparently from j. edgar hoover where hoover was explaining why he does not want an independent investigation of rubys killing ...

Suspected. also a conversation with j. edgar hoover saying after oswald was killed by jack ruby, saying that fbi was directly warned. somebody called in calm voice and said he was part of a group that was going to kill oswald. ruby said he was part of no group. but this is first evidence we have fbi was directly warned about that. other interesting note, message sent to robert kennedy warning him that a book was coming out alleging he had affair with marilyn monroe. through the thousands of page...
