Dan, an attorney, worked with Edwin Lopez and Robert Blakey in the HSCA
This interview from 2017, show #822
The HSCA Lopez-Hardway Report, Oswald, the CIA, and Mexico City
When Dan was getting too close to certain issues, CIA brought in George Joannides
Joannides covered-up David Phillips' propaganda activities linking Oswald to Castro
Phillips was not rogue, possibly he was used from within the Agency
Dan did this work 40 years ago, he has not had the time to keep up with research
There was Intelligence involvement in setting up the cover-up in advance
Was CIA involved in the assassination? We tried not to speculate
Is CIA suspect? Yes. Evidence? Clearly enough to merit further investigation
The built-in function of plausible deniability, propaganda, black operations
Oswald could not have been set up better, very sophisticated, detail and coordination
OurHiddenHistory's Oswald, the CIA, and Mexico City audiobook
There is evidence Oswald went to Mexico City. Did he go? I don't know
Evidence, indications, testimony, records, questionable
A distinct possibility he could have been impersonated in Mexico City
The kind of details we get hung up in, in an Intelligence operation, we can expect
Pretty sure a photo was obtained and a tape recording survived, they ended up in Dallas
FBI saw a photo and heard a tape, neither one of them were of Oswald
Gary Cornwell wasn't very supportive of Dan and Eddie
Most HSCA staffers were at least agnostic on the issue of conspiracy
Eddie and Dan got a lot of insulation from Bob (Blakey)
Sprague and Tanenbaum, went in thinking they could act like prosecuting attorneys
A Congressional Investigation could not indict, did not have prosecutor authority
When it blew up, they left, a huge mess, doubt whether it would finish
What Blakey could do was produce a report and suggest legislation
Dan started in the dark, they found the basis of what the ARRB found and disclosed
Cover-up does not prove conspiracy, other possible motivations to cover-up
CIA admitted participating in a benign cover-up, Thank You Phil Shenon (10/2015)

CIA was declassifying the Lopez-Hardway report at three days per four paragraphs
Someone, maybe CIA, made marginalia notes in the declassified draft
People plotting to kill Castro, could have been in on killing Kennedy
It takes painstaking work to pull out the threads and make the connections
It's now a historical rather then a forensic investigation
Select Committees are limited in time, purpose, and funding
Speculation, animosity about the King investigation, Southern congressman
Mickey Goldsmith, sharp, supportive, backed up Dan and Eddie with CIA
Our motto was "Reality is Irrelevant"
