special agent who worked as a covert action coordinator for the cia not to mention a house commission on assassinations concluded through forensic evidence that there were more shots and i was not the lone perpetrator but most significantly is the captain back man on what jesse ventura the former governor of minnesota recently spoke to me about. ritualised caption back was the acting attorney general monday morning naturally bobby had lost his brother he wasn't common in the work on monday so he was the acting attorney general this is a memo from him to lyndon johnson the new president and he explains how in the memo we have to make the public know that. that he had no partners who are still out there conspirators who acted with him and that he would have been convicted had there been a trial all of this laid out in a memo and this doesn't even cover the deathbed confession of the howard hunt or the fact that you are said that he believes there was a conspiracy even nixon said on tape that the warren commission was the greatest hoax ever perpetrated look i could go on but i think you get the point unfo

there's so many more i mean i'll just say one more the house select commission on assassinations actually concluded a couple decades later through forensic evidence that there was indeed more shots and that oswald was not the lone perpetrator we're talking about an actuary to rational yet they never really investigated this after the warren commission came to know what you know and hours after the event the warren commission actually just made its conclusions i mean and they just kind of followed through so they already had their conclusions just already preconceived and so they fit the evidence to kind of fit around those conclusions reading is just a really unfortunate well it's not as well then who do people think killed j.f.k. one of the theories out there there's a lot and then a lot of. i think ranging from. that we're not talking about space aliens here we're talking about people who had to have been involved in order for the cover up to be facilitated in the way it did and i think when people say it's the mafia the mafia killed him because you saw bobby kennedy his brother and als

things that apply to all conspiracies, we cannot ignore the fact that the house select committee and the warren commission on assassination, both did a massive, extremely intensive investigation of the assassination, they both concluded that there's no credible evidence, that's the keyword, no credible evidence that the mob or the cia or any other group was involved in the assassination. i just want to mention one point, all they found, of course, they did find unsupported allegations and naked speculation. now i use the word credible, i just want to show you how noncredible the conspiracy theorists are. can we have a second segment, i have some important things to talk about. it cannot be done, geraldo. >> give us your best -- no one's going to conspire with lee harvey oz waltd on the face of the earth. after he left the texas schoolbook goes tir building, if the mob was behind him, there would have been a car waiting for him to drive him to his death, you know that, instead, we know that oswald is out on the street with $13 in his pocket trying to flag down busses and cabs. that tells anybody that he acted alone. even t

one camp or another, i would go with oswald acted alone but i'm not confident about it. but i'm confident about is that the commission did a good job and the house select committee on assassinationsdid a terrible job so we have these investigations and it's 50 years on and there is only one prediction i can make to you. our children, grandchildren, students, their children, they are all going to be watching documentaries about the conspiracy theories involving the kennedy assassination even with the release of the material in the archives. we hope that comes out in october 17. it's going to be up to the president to decide whether the cia gets to keep secret or redacted its remaining documents that haven't been released, and that is many thousands of pages relating to the kennedy assassination. i want to see what's in there area i want to see what remaining pages are from the fbi and others. but let's see the full story before we reach a final conclusion. that is another reason why i don't be leaving case closed. you have to see all the evidence before you can reach the conclusion. >> host: are the archivists allowed to talk about what's in their? >> guest: know they are not and

commission was supposed to investigate the assassination. >> the warren commission in the end just flat out lied to us mgts gary cornwell is deputy chief counsel of the house select committee onassinations. this group reopened the case in 1997 to see if there was a conspiracy. >> they never intended to investigate. >> assistant attorney general nicholas katzenbach feared lyndon johnson might be accused of killing kennedy. >> that memo that he wrote to president johnson's white house assistant, they wanted a blue ribbon panel of highly respected people to convince the american public that lee harvey oswald was the sole assassin. >> you have 50 years later people who still have doubts about the assassination. why do you believe those doubts still linger? >> because there wasn't a clean investigation, and i have some unanswered questions, but there's no doubt that oswald killed him. he was such a shadowy crazy guy he could have had confederates helping him. >> did the fbi, did they drop the ball in their tagging of oswald? >> the fbi was watching oswald, but they never really took him seriously as a physical threat. >> early october, james posting from the fbi came out, left his

the conspiracy community would like us to do it, that the warren commission and the fbi and the house collected committee on assassinationsinvestigated, extremely thoroughly, all of the theories and they all concluded that there was no credible, let's underline that word "credible," no credible evidence that the cia or mob or any other group was involved in the assassination. all they found was unsupported allegations and naked speculation. now, before i get into my second point, let me very briefly touch on this word, "credible." to show you how noncredible the conspiracy theorists are, over the last 50 years, at one time or another, one or more conspiracy theorists have accused 42 groups, 82 assassins, and 2014 people being involved in the assassination. also, chris, you know as well as i do, from your own personal experience in life, from all of our experience, it's almost impossible to keep a secret. i told a jury once, you know, folks, three people can keep a secret, but only if two are dead. and here we have 50 years that have gone by, and not one credible word or syllable has leaked out of a conspiracy. why? becaus

commission. the house of representatives formed a select committee, house special committee on assassinations and they worked from 76 until 79 on this subject and others. it worked in the other assassinations as well, let the king. in the case of john kennedy they have been preparing to endorse the basic conclusions of the warren commission after having interviewed people that the warren commission did not get to committee investigating trails the warren commission did not go down. in toward the very end they heard about this. it is a recording that was done at police headquarters that had a this past -- dispatch officer still living who was a sheriff down in dallas for many years thereafter. he deserves a lot of credit for helping to deserve -- preserve the dicta belts. it started at about 945 in the morning before air force one landed. they stopped, at least the ones that we have after about 340 once air force one and they're forced to and the press plane had left at the end of that terrible they. well, there are a whole bunch of them. we managed to get all of them out of the national archives.

house committee in 1977. even to this day, he is a doubter. >> the warren commission in the end, just flat-ass lied to us. >> gary cornwell was deputy chief council of the house select committee on assays nations. -- assassinations. this group looked at the kennedy investigation. >> they never intended to investigate. >> he is far from alone, too. you're going to meet another guy, john orr, works for the department of justice and hasn't talked in ten years. he did his own investigation and gave it to janet reno. she gave it to the fbi. he hasn't heard a word since there are bullets and on the bullet thursday fragments, maybe it's part of dna or tissue or comes from clothing, something that governor connally or the president worse that day. if you can take the material, dna that never dies, and test it 50 years later with the technology we have, maybe you can determine whether people like gary and john orr are right and that a second gunman fired a different bullet at kennedy that day in dallas. >> i remember when it was bobby kennedy's children who were on a talk show that said their father went to his grave not believing the warren commission. that the others had to have been involved. and of course bobby kenne

second big investigation of the kennedy assassination, the one in the 1970s by the house of representatives select committee, which reversed the warren commissionusion that oswald acted alone, we've looked at the evidence that that second group used, and we found that they completely misinterpreted what was there. i'm sure they did the best job they could given the audio analysis that was available tech technologically in the 70s, but we brought together the best people and the best new te techniques and it opportunities out in fact the office we are the stuck microphone through which these sounds were being recorded at 12:30 on november 22nd, 1963, was 2 1/2 miles away at the trademark, the place where president kennedy was going to give his luncheon speech. in this little microphone, chuck, has the power of a telephone receiver. there is zero chance that there could be any gunshots on there from 2 1/2 miles away. by the way, the officer that the house committee identified as having the stuck microphone is still living. his name is h.p. mclain. he insisted from day one he didn't have a stuck microphone, whereas the officer we've identified, wi

the house select committee on assassinations in the 1970s which contradicted the warren commission byaying president kennedy was killed as a result of conspiracy used these tapes as their evidence. we have blown apart their report. they're completely wrong. there is are no bullets on here at all because the recording actually came from a motorcycle policeman who had a stuck microphone who was 2 1/2 miles away from deily plaza, the site of the assassination. there was no way any bullets could be recorded. jon: the kennedy half century is the name of your book. larry sabato, thanks for being with us today. >> thank you, jon. appreciate it. >> right now, new fallout in the miami dolphins bullying scandal. the details what sparked the scandal unknown at this time. alleged victim jonathan martin is meeting this hour with the nfl's investigator in new york city. as the alleged bully, richie incognito filed a grievance against the dolphins over his suspension. rick leventhal is outside the office where martin is meeting with investigators, rick? >> reporter: jenna, those meetings could go on

this was the house select committee on assassinations and they did a 2 1/2 year investigation, access to far more information than the warren commission only was jfk likely -- in the conspiracy, but they pointed the finger at marcelo. now, that was widely reported in '79. it's largely forgotten today. which is why i'm so glad john kerry has come out in his interview with nbc news saying he believes in a conspiracy. so there was one last government investigation in the 1990s. the jfk assassinations record review board. created by the 1992 jfk act. that was passed unanimously by congress in the wake of the oliver stone film. and they were responsible for releasing all of the jfk assassination records. >> i'm sorry, i just -- i appreciate the evidence you have got, but i don't yet see the motivation that you're saying that the mafia would have to kill the president and where does lee harvey oswald enter this picture? >> two good points there. john and robert kennedy waged the largest war on organized crime. that's how jfk came to prominence as a senator is going after the organized crime and dragging these mob bosses that liked to stay i

the house committee on political assassinations in the 1970s, even had small parts in oliver stone's film, jfk. he moved to dallas almost 20 years ago just so co-deem fighting the warren commission's conclusion that lee harvey oswald acted alone. >> oswald could never have been convicted. that's why they had to kill him. >> where do you think the shots came from? >> well, shots came from at least four different directions. >> this is the result of about 12 different locations of actually running this. >> reporter: the kennedy assassination got csi treatment by mike haig and the team of investigators themselves analyzed it with modern forensic tools using this $180,000 scan per created a 3d image of the applause. after analyzing medical and police reports, re-created the shooting scene as if they were investigating a modern murder case. >> the physical evidence really does tell the tale. >> that tale is what? >> if you look at the physical evidence there is nothing to suggest anything other than lee harvey oswald shot the president. >> reporter: he tracked the path of three fired shots. the first he said likely hit the street and disintegrated. the so-called magic bullet is the mos

house and be a consensus- builder to drive the course. i was watching one of the numerous specials on the assassination of president kennedy. there was one particular piece on the warren commission. they played a tape of president johnson on the phone with richard russell, who said, i don't want to be on the commission because i can't stand earl warren. johnson said, you know, i don't take no for an answer. too bad, it has already been announced. what did russell do? he served. that is because he knew johnson. johnson knew him. in the end, when i develop these relationships over time, you compromise at times, you don't walk away with everything you want. but if i walk away with 70% of my agenda, new jersey is 70% better than it would have been otherwise. what we have in washington, on both sides of the aisle, absolutists. >> a month or so ago we went through the government shutdown. you have criticized the president, but you have been critical of your own party, too. who was to blame, and what are the lessons you think should be learned? >> both sides were to blame. it was a train wreck everybody saw coming for months. where was the president? he knew this, everybody knew the da

on the warren commission. i remember very well, i came home from college for thanksgiving right after the assassination, and i remember being in the den of the house still live in, and the phone ringing. it was president johnson. and calling to talk about the establishment of the commission and i can remember my father so well saying we need a blue ribbon commission to put everything to rest so that the american people know that we have examined every possibility and we know exactly what's happened. of course, that didn't happen. now, he was somewhat skeptical of the single bullet theory, and basically he signed the commission report and, of course, it was unanimous saying knowing what we know now, this is what i believe to be the case. but since then we really haven't learned anything more that would have indicated anything else. even the house committee on assassinations. >> why was your father skeptical of the single bullet theory? >> because it's a somewhat difficult to see this bullet taking that trajectory. >> improbable. >> right. >> the house committee on assassinations in 1978 with much more technology to examine these things, basically c
