Mark Lane - (#250)

[Ben Holmes]

In the previous paragraphs, Mark Lane showed how the Warren Commission
simply wasn't interested in any facts in this case that would lead to
conspiracy... Now let's see how they helped the DPD avoid any blame:

"If the Commission had been able to fix with certainty just where Ruby
entered the basement, it would also have been able to learn the
identity of the officer or officers responsible. Until the Commission
determined just where and how Ruby entered, the possibility that Ruby
had help from the Dallas police could not legitimately be excluded.
Nevertheless, the Report stated:

'After considering all the evidence, the Commission has concluded that
Ruby entered the basement unaided, probably via the Main Street ramp,
and no more than 3 minutes before the shooting of Oswald.'

Notwithstanding its inability to establish where or how Ruby gained
entrance, the Commission concluded that he was unaided and alone. It
considered, only to dismiss, the possibility that assistance to Ruby
on November 24 might implicate the Dallas police in the assassination
of President Kennedy. The Report stated:

'The Dallas Police Department, concerned at the failure of its
security measures, conducted an extensive investigation that revealed
no information indicating complicity between any police officer and
Jack Ruby.'

The Commission's conclusions were essentially a re-statement of the
findings of the Dallas police, who wrote less than a month after
Oswald's death, 'We are convinced that our investigation has
established to a reasonable certainty that Jack Leon Ruby entered the
basement from the Main Street ramp and that no collusion existed
between him and any police officer or member of the press'."

Mark Lane is showing the how the Warren Commission was quite careful
to avoid any investigation that would have led to any findings that
they didn't want to present.

And Huckster is no longer able to refute what Mark Lane states.
