As expected, Gil is not trying to offer an alternative explanation for the existing evidence but
instead offers excuses for dismissing it. CTs have no evidence on their side so they choose
to throw out what is there to give them a blank slate for their fingerpainting.

Are you really that ignorant, Gil, or are you just pretending to be. If you are as knowledgeable
of the evidence as you claim to be, you know that Lt. Day lifted that palm print off the rifle
before turning it over to the FBI. Once the print is lifted, it won't be there anymore.
> The FBI agent who travelled with the rifle from Dallas to Washington, Vincent Drain, was never called to testify.

Why would he be called? What would he have to offer? Just another red herring argument.

Funny how you impeach Brennan's ID of Oswald yet you accept his description of the shooter's
clothing as gospel. The intelligent approach is to measure what a witness has told us to
the body of evidence as a whole to determine what a witness has got right and what he has
got wrong. Brennan's ID of Oswald as the shooter is corroborated by all the forensic evidence
found on the 6th floor.

The fibers on the rifle are the evidence he was wearing that shirt when he fired the rifle. Are you
going to write off as coincidence the fibers on the rifle matched the shirt Oswald was wearing
when arrested.

The partial prints on the rifle matched Oswald but without sufficient points to meet FBI
standards. It would be highly significant if those prints didn't match Oswald because that
would mean someone else had touched that trigger guard. While not conclusive, the partial
match is siginificant.

Still more excuses offered by Gil to dismiss evidence. No attempt to explain the existing
evidence.

More excuses. Lame ones at that. Let's just throw out all the evidence and then you can make
up any story you like. Oh, wait. That's what you guys have been doing for six decades.
Someplace nearby. Why would he have taken the bag into the nest?
They matched the blanket. That is highly probative.

Impossible to do when the bore has a large diameter than the bullets. The FBI couldn't even
match two bullets fired consecutively from the gun.
More excuses. No explanations for the evidence.

How the hell could they do that. Another lame excuse.

You haven't offered one damn piece of evidence nor have you tried to explain the evidence
we have. You have done what I predicted you would do and what CTs have spent six decades
doing. You have offered excuses to dismiss the evidence because you all know you can't
offer an explanation that fits the evidence in which Oswald is innocent. That is simply not
possible and you know it. To argue for Oswald's innocence, you have to throw out all the
evidence we have because all the evidence points to his guilt.
Thank you fore demonstrating what I wrote in the OP.
