A forgotten important person in U.S. history was Jack Ruby. As millions of Americans watched on live television, he murdered Lee Harvey Oswald. J. Edgar Hoover and all other law enforcement officials had declared that Oswald had assassinated President John F. Kennedy.
Oswald said he was innocent and wanted a lawyer. In a trial he would swear that he did not own a rifle. The rifle found hear the sixth floor window was a German Luger. The gun Hoover said he used had none of Oswald’s fingerprints on it until the night he was killed and was laying on a slab in the funeral home that was broken into.
Oswald was questioned for more than 12 hours and not one word of that event has ever been revealed. He had passed the police paraffin test, proving that he had not fired a rifle in the previous 24 hours. A jury would have found Oswald innocent. Plus, he liked JFK.
Imagine the worldwide chaos when it is proven that Hoover and other influential Americans planned the assassination of our president. Hoover called Robert Kennedy to report on JFK’s death. Why Hoover?
