Circumstantial Evidence in the John F. Kennedy Assassination by Jacob G. Hornberger

Having recently discovered this Thursdays legal deadline for the National Archives mandated release of John F. Kennedy assassination records that the Central Intelligence Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and other agencies have succeeded in keeping secret for more than 50 years, the mainstream media is repeatedly emphasizing that the records will contain no "smoking guns."

Well, duh!! As I stated in my article yesterday, "I Predict Trump Will Continue the CIAs JFK Assassination Cover-Up," ever since the Central Intelligence Agency began specializing in assassinations, one of its principal rules has been never to put any reference to a covert state-sponsored assassination into writing. Given such, it is no big revelation that the records that are set to be released - assuming that President Trump does not grant the Central Intelligence Agencys request to keep them secret - will not contain a videotaped confession, a memorandum detailing how the assassination was to be carried out and covered up, or any other such "smoking gun" type of evidence.

However, it is a virtual certainty that the tens of thousands of records will contain bits of circumstantial evidence that further fill in the mosaic that the assassination of President Kennedy was one of the Central Intelligence Agencys regime-change operations, no different in principle from those carried out in the 1950s-1970s in such countries as Iran, Guatemala, Congo, Cuba, and Chile.

The problem is that mainstream reporters and commentators, generally speaking, have no understanding of or appreciation for the importance and relevance of circumstantial evidence. To them, all that matters is direct evidence, such as a videotaped confession or a signed memorandum showing how the assassination was carried out.

What is circumstantial evidence? The definition provided by Wikipedia is as good as any other:

Circumstantial evidence is evidence that relies on an inference to connect it to a conclusion of fact - like a fingerprint at the scene of a crime. By contrast, direct evidence supports the truth of an assertion directly - i.e., without need for any additional evidence or inference.

It is worth noting that courts consider circumstantial evidence to be of equal value to direct evidence.

When the mainstream media refers to the term of Assassination Records Review Board in the 1990s, they always repeat the same mantra - that the ARRB found no "smoking guns." They are, again, referring to direct evidence and not circumstantial evidence.

An example of circumstantial evidence was the testimony of Saundra Spencer, who was the petty officer in charge of the White House Laboratory at the Naval Photographic Center in Washington, D.C. As such, she worked closely with the Kennedy White House, including on highly classified matters.

It would be virtually impossible to find a more credible witness than Saundra Spencer. I think that everyone, including the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency, would attest to her integrity and veracity.

Spencer gave sworn testimony before the ARRB. The mainstream media has never devoted any attention to her testimony. Why? Because her testimony did not constitute direct evidence. That is, since she did not testify that she saw who shot the president or some other type of direct "smoking gun" testimony, the mainstream media has ignored what she told the ARRB.

Spencer testified under oath that on the weekend of the assassination, she was asked to develop John F. Kennedy autopsy photographs, on a highly classified basis.

The ARRB asked Spencer to identify the official autopsy photographs in the record. She examined the photographs and told the ARRB, in direct and unequivocal terms, that those were not the autopsy photographs she developed. The ones she developed showed a big exit-sized hole in the back of the presidents head. The official autopsy photographs in the record show the back of John F. Kennedys head to be intact.

Spencers sworn testimony before the ARRB leads to but one conclusion: The official autopsy photographs in the John F. Kennedy assassination are fakes.

That should be big news, right? Not for the mainstream media, which totally ignored Spencers testimony.

Why did they ignore it? Because it consisted of circumstantial evidence, that is, evidence from which inferences can be drawn, such as the fakeness of the official autopsy photographs. Since the mainstream media, generally speaking, does not understand the importance of circumstantial evidence, Spencers testimony was obviously considered irrelevant and immaterial and surely not something worth writing about.

Spencers testimony matched that of Dr. Robert McClelland and other physicians and nurses in Dallas who treated President Kennedy at Parkland Hospital.

They too said that there was a big exit-sized wound in the back of Kennedys head, which implies that the shot that hit Kennedy in the head was fired from the front.

There were more such witnesses, including two Federal Bureau of Investigation agents, as I detailed in my 2013 article "More Evidence of Cover-Up in the JFK Assassination".

A few months ago, the National Archives released an initial batch of records from the records that are scheduled to be released this Thursday. Among the released records was a fascinating piece of information. The records revealed that the mayor of Dallas, Earle Cabell, was secretly serving as an asset for the Central Intelligence Agency.

Now, in and of itself, that would not mean too much to the mainstream media, which would explain why they did not report on it. The Central Intelligence Agency has lots of secret assets and secret front organizations. To them, it would be no big deal that a city mayor is a Central Intelligence Agency asset.

But actually that small bit of information raises all sorts of questions. Such as: How many other public officials across the United States are secret assets of the Central Intelligence Agency, including the members of Congress and the federal judiciary? How many federal and state prosecutors and federal judges? How many law enforcement personnel?

In fact, a critical and analytical mind might ask a pertinent question regarding the post-assassination investigation in Dallas: Is it possible that Dallas District Attorney Henry Wade was a Central Intelligence Agency asset too, just like the Dallas mayor was?

It would certainly explain the passivity in the John F. Kennedy assassination displayed by Wade, who was one of the most notoriously aggressive prosecutors in Texas history. Wade, who served as Dallas District Attorney for more than 30 years, was so aggressive that in 2008, long after he had passed away, fifteen people who his prosecutorial team had prosecuted were exonerated as a result of DNA evidence. According to Wikipedia, the culture of Wades department was "to convict at all costs." Wikipedia states that Project Innocence Texas "currently has 250 cases under examination."

Not so in the Kennedy assassination, where Wade displayed extreme passivity.

For example, Texas law required an autopsy of the president be conducted in Texas. The Dallas Medical Examiner, Dr. Earl Rose, insisted on it. As I detailed in my book The Kennedy Autopsy, a team of armed Secret Service agents, however, said no. Brandishing their weapons and screaming and yelling profanities at Rose, they forced their way out of Parkland with the presidents body and took it to Love Field, where Lyndon Johnson was patiently waiting for it so that it could be taken to Maryland and be placed in the hands of the United States military.

During the controversy, a phone call was placed to Henry Wade. Ordinarily, any lawyer would have said that there was no way that Wade or any other prosecutor would permit the body to be carried out of the state without an autopsy. After all, the autopsy is critical evidence in a criminal prosecution. Nonetheless, Wade passively gave his permission to release the body without an autopsy. This occurred two days before Oswald was killed, when a criminal prosecution still appeared likely.

According to a "biographical profile" of Wade on Spartacus Educational,

Cliff Carter, on behalf of President Lyndon B. Johnson, phoned Wade three times on the night of the assassination. According to Wade, Carter said that "any word of a conspiracy - some plot by foreign nations - to kill President Kennedy would shake our nation to its foundation. President Johnson was worried about some conspiracy on the part of the Russians.. it would hurt foreign relations if I alleged a conspiracy - whether I could prove it or not.. I was to charge Oswald with plain murder."

Wade passively acceded to Johnsons request, which, of course, succeeded in shutting down any state investigation into shooters from the front, something that would be evidenced, circumstantially, by the testimony and statements of Saundra Spencer, Dr. Robert McClelland, two Federal Bureau of Investigating agents, and many more.

A few days after the November 22 assassination - November 26, Wade acceded to a request by the Federal Bureau of Investigation to turn over all the evidence in the case to the FBI. According to a website entitled "The Portal to Texas History",

The first key exchange was Dallas County District Attorney Henry Wades request to Chief Curry on behalf of the Federal government on November 26, 1963 to "return over all the evidence obtained in the investigation of the president over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for mailing to Washington."

Obviously there were big problem with Wades passivity. The Dallas medical examiner was deprived of the opportunity to document the big exit-sized wound in the back of Kennedys head. The autopsy ended up in the hands of the United States military in Maryland, where we ended up with fake autopsy photographs. Any investigation into shooters from the front was quickly shut down. It is worth mentioning that that Wade, Lyndon Johnson, and the United States national-security establishment all knew that that federal government lacked jurisdiction over murders committed in Texas, including murders of presidents.

Could Wades passivity in the Kennedy assassination be because he was a Central Intelligence Agency asset, just like Dallas Mayor Earl Cabell, as those recently released long-secret Central Intelligence Agency records reveal?

We will probably never know, especially since this is not the type of question the mainstream media would ask. I do not think it would surprise anyone, especially since Wade once worked for four years as a Federal Bureau of Investigation special agent.
