That was before they issued their basic report. thats what gives credence to the notion theres unlike will be change in the basic story. but what if cubans or russians told oswald in mexico city they want him to go in, unleashed him or want to help him. still think its lone gunman but maybe had encouragement or maybe money. >> if i can disagree respectfully with david. reason we have so much conspiracy theories about this assassination, the warren commission werent shown everything. werent told ...

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...

Some of the theories that are out there. >> several thousand enthusiastic -- >> nearly 54 years since the day president john f. kennedy died and conspiracy theories difficult abound. >> the truth is oswald killed the president. >> os wal, as in lee harvey os wal of the the federal government says he shot the president and only him. despite that, conspiracy theorists just dont buy it. they point to people like the man who came to be known as umbrella man. he was seen opening and closing his umbre...

Us, materials about code breaking, materials regarding sources that are not directly related to what happened in dallas but people run by the cia elsewhere who might have provided detail or two about oswalds time in russia or japan. those are the details. >> you were talking before will cia cover operations in kongo with lumumba, in dominican republic and elsewhere, might be information there. >> no doubt about it. example, still secret maybe. havent been through all the documents. secret was th...

Might have been culled by the mob, the cubans, might have been killed by the cia. and the assassination records review board pulled in all possible documents that might shed light on any of those possible theories. as a result they put together 5 million pages. when the act was put together, i am sure that the congress didnt expect that there would be blanket declassification of 5 million pages in 2017. and to some extent they kept kicking the can down the road. some of the materials they pulled...

U.s. covert action against cuba, kongo, dominican republic. those involve informants and i was waiting to see whether we would get those names. right now getting interesting details. i share freds view we were not going to learn much of anything about lee harvey oswald issue because there was serious nonpartisan board in 1998 who saw all of this material and pushed for release on anything that bore on whether or not there was conspiracy behind oswald. but other details, we have materials regardi...

Experts i had a chance to talk to, a pulitzer prize winning history other yap. hes now writing a biography of john f. kennedy and his basic conclusion is the big story -- theres not likely to be anything big, major, dramatic, bombshell that would change the basic story line that lee harvey oswald was acting alone. where the information may be new and revealing could be out of mexico city where oswald spent about six days, two months before the assassination talking to cubans, talking to russians...

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...
