DVP SAID ON 8/22/09:
"I'd like to know where anybody got the idea that JACK RUBY was an
official "FBI informant"? Ruby was a "police buff" (as Vince Bugliosi
likes to call him), and it appears to be true that Ruby would "snitch"
on criminals in the Dallas area and "inform" the local police. But
where's the proof he was an official "FBI informant"? I don't recall
seeing such proof regarding that matter."
GARY MACK THEN SAID TO ME (VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE):
"Dave, The HSCA knew about Ruby's FBI informant status in 1959. ....
The FBI eventually "fired" Ruby since he never provided them with any
useful information. Nevertheless, Ruby was used as an informant for
several months by the FBI, and that fact was withheld from the public
by the Warren Commission. /s/Gary Mack"
DVP NOW SAYS:
Thanks for the info, Gary. I appreciate it.
I could have (and should have) looked up the information about Jack
Ruby's "FBI informant" status myself (and I just now did, via the best
book ever written about the JFK case, "Reclaiming History").
I must have taken a "lazy" pill yesterday. That's not like me either.
I'm usually not that lazy when it comes to researching information
about the Kennedy assassination for myself.
Of course, the "RH" passage below concerning Jack Ruby is something I
definitely already read in the book in 2007, but there's so much
material in that tome, it's impossible to memorize everything that's
in it.
Anyway, thanks again, Gary. The information you provide on all JFK-
related matters is always very helpful.
Here's the "Ruby/FBI" excerpt from "RH":
"Ruby even aspired to being an informer for the FBI, whose
offices were only a block from his club, and on March 11, 1959, Dallas
FBI agent Charles Flynn wrote that “on the basis of preliminary
contacts and information developed to date [which Flynn did not set
forth], I recommend the captioned individual [Jack Ruby] for informant
development.”
"The term was “potential criminal informant” (PCI), and Flynn
said that “PCI advised he was willing to assist Bureau by supplying
criminal information, on a confidential basis, which comes to his
attention.” (HSCA Record 180-10107-10160)
"But after going to Ruby for information on eight occasions over
a seven-month period regarding cases Flynn was working on, most
involving crimes in other cities like Baltimore and Louisville with, I
assume, an apparent Dallas connection, and getting no worthwhile
information (HSCA Records 180-10107-10161 through -10165), Flynn
terminated his relationship with Ruby on November 6, 1959, with the
notation that because “contacts [with Ruby] have been negative to
date, it is felt that further attempts to develop this man would be
fruitless,” and Ruby never became a CI (criminal informant) for the
FBI. (HSCA Record 180-10107-10166, November 6, 1959; HSCA Record
180-10116-10082, Testimony of Charles Flynn before HSCA on November
16, 1977, pp.107–108, 115–116, 119, 125–128)
