But that doesn't stop you from ridiculing me for not knowing that Day had done a preliminary
dusting of the rifle at the TSBD before taking it back to HQ. That was ten years ago and you
still keep bringing it up. How long do I get to milk this for your lack of knowledge about the
lifted print?

And your point is...?

When they were asked, as they were, why they had waited four days to send this lift to the FBI, or had not told the FBI that they had made this lift from the rifle, their reply was that even though tthe print had been lifted, that that lift had not removed the latent print from the underside of the rifle and it was STILL THERE.
That contradicts what Latona testified to before the WC. Latona's testimony was much more
contemporaneous the Liebeler's.

He gave his explanation to the WC.

This is Gil establishing more new rules of evidence so he doesn't have to deal with the lifted
print. Gil is not interested in the truth of the assassination. He never stops to ask if the
evidence is genuine or not. He just wants to create excuses to dismiss all of the evidence against Oswald because it is so damning.

When two different people tell two different stories to two different investigations, it doesn't
mean one of them is lying. It could mean that one of them wasn't as clear on the details as the
other. Considering one of them was testifying from memory of events a dozen or more years
earlier, I'm betting it is the HSCA testimony that is less than accurate.
Why is it you are always trying to find excuses to dismiss the evidence instead of explaining
what the evidence actually indicates? You do this for just about every piece of evidence we have.
You dispute that Oswald ordered the rifle found in the TSBD. You think it matters that we don't
know which USPS employee handed the package containing the rifle to Oswald. You dispute
the authenticity of the backyard photos. You dispute that Oswald brought the 40 inch bag
into the TSBD despite the fact his fingerprints were on it and there were fibers matching his
rifle blanket inside the bag. You dispute that Oswald's palm print was found on the rifle. You dispute the significance of the fibers on the rifle. And those are just he excuses you have come
up with for the rifle. You do the same thing with the recovered bullets. You do the same thing
with the shells found at the scene of the Tippit murder. You dispute it was Oswald's jacket that
was found. Excuses, excuses, excuses. You know if you accept any of this evidence as genuine,
it incriminates Oswald in both murders, so you choose to reject the evidence altogether. Heck
of an approach to crime solving. Reject all the available evidence.
