“There is nothing further on the Oswald case except that he is dead,” J. Edgar Hoover said in a memo on Nov. 24, 1963, after Lee Harvey Oswald was fatally shot by Jack Ruby.
“The thing I am concerned about, and so is [Deputy Attorney General] Mr. [Nicholas] Katzenbach, is having something issued so we can convince the public that Oswald is the real assassin.”
In a memo the next day, Katzenbach agrees that “the public must be satisfied that Oswald was the assassin.”
Still, one declassified deposition transcript may stoke conspiracy theories. It cuts off just as ex-CIA Director Richard Helms is asked if Oswald “was in some way a CIA agent or agent . . .”

A British reporter for the Cambridge News received a phone call just 25 minutes before Kennedy was shot, and was instructed to "call the American Embassy in London for some big news" before the anonymous tipster hung up, according to an FBI document.
After the reporter learned of the assassination, he informed local police about the call, who passed the information along to MI5, Britain's domestic security agency. MI5 then informed the FBI of the call, and described the Cambridge News reporter as "a sound and loyal person with no security record."
The FBI appeared to take the information seriously — it was sent through to the highest levels of the agency, including then-Director J. Edgar Hoover.
The current staff of the Cambridge News appeared shocked on Friday after the document was released. The paper's political correspondent Josh Thomas tweeted that staff will "get to the bottom of this."
The other stuff--wanting the mob to whack Castro, JFK's sex parties--we all knew about.
