What a thoroughly engaging, erudite, and entertaining interview. Thank you.

[@rds333]

It's a well-known fact that the Secret Service agents who were present during the Kennedy administration, were constantly drinking on the job, engaged in prostitutes, and unable to perform their duties. Even when these events are reported to the upper management of the Secret Service, it largely was ignored. So it seems, this is a common practice. Also, during this time, it has been known of conversations about agents who will not protect the president because they didn't like Kennedy's view on civil rights. After the assassination, the Secret Service had their part in the cover-up. They failed, and now they are trying to cover up their own embarrassment and hide the facts of their actions the night before. It's no wonder why AB left the White House detail after his 30 day trial.

Unlike Clint Hill , Hill likes to claim see no evil and not our fault excuse . At least that is the impression I get from Mr Innocent , Clint Hill. I would like Clint Hill and Micheal Franzese to be in the same room in front of the cameras to have a sit down and talk about Nov22/63 .

[@rogerscottcathey]

Well, Hill supported by his testimony the observations of the Parkland doctors who also noted the right rear blow out of JFK's head. Attestation that a bullet came from ahead of the limousine. So everything else you might have objected to about him, those words can't be taken back.

All shots from the back. Really?. So how do you explain everyone saying , including Clint Hill the hole in the back of his head?. That's an exit wound. So that had to come from the front. Plus the 2nd and 3rd shots virtually on top of one another. Impossible to reload that quick.

Thank you for this. Wonderful interview.

[@paulsdancing5429]

Acceptable discussion, except for the agent's statement that all the shots were fired from one direction - behind. There are numerous shows with videos, where witnesses state that shots came from the 'grassy knoll' direction - opposite to behind. It is amazing how many people see the truth on the side that butter's their bread.

[@timothydrumm2846]

Somehow...nobody in the Secret Service of FBI...was aware that final Limo left turn toward the overpass...put JFK in a hyper slow moving SITTING DUCK...position!

No one else said JFK ordered SS agents off the back of the limousine. Vince Palamara interviewed many of them. The Dallas detail staying off the back of the limo wasn't by any request of JFK.

[@aaronpaterson1615]

With regards George Hickey tasked as a sniper with the AR-15 he should not have been given that job as his normal duties were assigned to the garage not manning a machine gun. No I don't believe Hickey did anything wrong.

[@a.andrechisholm8528]

You're correct Officer Hickey was a uniform secret service officer. He was qualified for the M16, but the secret service agents had hangovers after partying at the Jack Ruby's Carousel club. What's pretty interesting drinking and clubbing for free. Knowing there's a high profile assignment the next morning. Also, eleven agents assigned to the Kennedy detail had been given permission for reassignment. It was a protest of not wanting to work with the first Black secret service agent that the President. Plus the Secret Service White House supervisor decided to take a vacation. The trip should've been canceled

[@charleshmansfield5786]

Fine interview, and I agree with his conclusion.

[@edcorrigan3156]

[@donalgoan5083]

there was at least 4 shots. Headshot, magic bullet, curb shot at overpass, car windshield shot.

This guy is great until he starts to talk about the assassination. It was Billy Hargis, the patrolman riding to the left rear of the limousine that was spattered with blood and brain matter not Bill Greer. The limousine slowed to a halt during the head shot. That's the only reason Clint Hill was able to catch the Limo. Either he's misinformed or just another company man.

[@michaelknight247]

I caught that also... Bill Greer stops the car exactly at the infamous umbrella man.... waits till he is shot then leaves in the hurry Coughlin talks about. Visit Dallas before you make up lies. All the hundreds of witness mention the "slower to almost a stop. " it's the first thing the Newman said on air that day!Also the Zapruder film shows this. Clint has a huge lie of a story and they all stuck to it. It's odd a guy that could have been a hero lies about obvious facts that he has gotten to see on the Zapruder film. Clint will die saying "only two shots were fired" When you can see with your own eyes when Connolly was shot and the two massive throat then head jfk. Not mentioned is being shot in the back also..just like Connolly says in his own interview and I believe it. Connolly was hit twice., Jfk atleast twice, a curb, and a gunshot hole in the front windshield . Witness said 3-5. Not one witness said less the 3. It's in the museum. They have interviewed them later... Incidentally he refers to the good old days...Jesus Christ the night before the JFK the secret service were drinking at a local bar...and you even mention the mob relationships that came and went into the White House back then my god get perspective your time was ridiculous. He did however say 3 things anyone that studies this will examine. 1)M. Monroe died when "od" and rat pack great was with her theory she was carrying a Kennedy baby. 2nd Oswald left his house when a cop car with two men honked outside. Seconds later an officer was shot dead and TWO men ran from the scene. Says witness. It's a lie they tell that it's one as even in the warren report it shows two different bullet casings at the scene. All the witness describe a man matching Jack Ruby not Oswald. Bald, cubby, middle age (it's in the warren report people need to read it) as so briefly referred to in this interview most people overlook that huge fact. So he does know the truth even if he doesn't speak it. It's also funny how he mentions the media being friendly with them. This is true it took generations before news started calling politicians for their descriptive lies. In Vietnam the US bomb a villages killing all the "friendly" woman and children. Maybe that got these Vietnamese a little pissed off and no longer as confident of their Allie's. They also went into Cambodia against congresses wishes. 3) liars point out there lies without being asked. A lot of lies in this interview. "Up to the right".... dumbass there is video of them running to the grassy knoll. If your gonna lie atleast look at the Zapruder film before you repeat obvious lies. At the first shot the follow up car agents are laughing (big smiles on there faces) and two agents are looking at the downward as if at the pavement. Remember a bullet did miss and hit a curb. At no time are they looking behind them to the right. That's just another lie to coverup their lies they told in 63. No secret service man is gonna admit there mistake nor the truth because Clint hills lies will be there agreed apon pinky swear hand on the Bible story until death. It's unfortunate because hills accounts are obviously lies proven by multiple video, multiple pictures and almost a hundred eye witness and facts that contradict Hills story. In Hills defense he was having Romantic ties with Mrs Kennedy. A "Jackie" slips out in this interview. He knows he was supposed to say Mrs Kennedy but these agents didn't care for Jack and loved Jackie..neither did Johnson hence they murdered him and all JFKs big name mistresses. Clint later leaves his wife and moves in with Jackie in New York only to be dumped by Jackie later. Also he mentions Dr kings assassination ...This was a black and white issue. Pure racism in the south now and then...hence he knows why people hate Obama, and unfortunately among other things in the Dallas papers "Wanted for Treason" was printed. Integration wasn't going over well would be an understatement. It's interesting what he eludes to. Bottom line As he states all the secret service people are Eisenhower soldiers. Kennedy was allowed to be president as long as he followed Eisenhower and the higher general orders. He didn't at the bay of pigs Eisenhower no longer trusted him and he was the only one that could stop the cia from getting rid of Kennedy earlier. Kennedy is dead because the cia wanted him dead, Eisenhower signed off and the secret service lead him to his known death trap. The Dallas police were entrusted to follow orders and the mob was there to make sure loose ends were taken care of. Ruby was in the police station 11/22/63 Incidentally so was Ruth Paine and a beaten up Wesley Frazier. Incidentally no one ever looked up at Oswald. If done like the warren commission states Oswald, rifle etc would easily been seen before the first shot and there was a lot of time to locate him between shots. No one did. It took a long time before they even decided to go in the building behind (Texas school book) them. Fun fact school books usually delivered before the school year starts it's September when Frazier was hire and October when Oswald was hired other questionable employees and other riffles including the supervisor brought in on 11/21/63. Fun fact this guy hates democrats... watch his other interviews.. Fun fact this guy hated Kennedy Little did he know all the rest would be worse. I highly recommend everyone to watch and listen to Dallas 11/22/63 news the whole days news. A lot of true facts are given early. Newman family interview etc....by 11/23 it nothing but lies. All the stories change. Even our most trusted say he was was shot and his head went forward (seriously the balls on these reporters to lie at that level) when the Zapruder film came out they all got exposed for those blatant lies. Unneeded lies if there wasn't a cover-up. Unneeded if there wasn't a conspiracy, unneeded if we just understood the powers of the John Birch society and our lawless Bureaus FBI and the Prescott Bush CIA. Please don't trust me. It's all on films you can watch and listen yourself. It's very rewarding to listen to the first reporting and then the cover ups. The umbrella man's cover up cracks me up. Did people in 1963 really believe "it was a reference to a thesis paper JFK wrote in college". That's the reason for the umbrella ...... look it up! Facts are fun😀

He’s interesting, but a real old school conservative. Stereotyping the younger agents, was a little over the top. Clearly doesn’t like Obama or LBJ and his Civil Rights Legislation. Oswald, was a mess at the time of the assassination. He had left his wife, and living alone, had tried to kill a U.S. General and was a gun nut. By sheer serendipity the Kennedy motorcade was going right under the window where he worked. The mob clearly did not set that up. He sent away for a rifle, from a page at the back of a magazine. It was the cheapest rifle on the page. He had no money, and was given no money. As for Ruby, he had no plan to get out of that police station, he was going to throw his life away if he killed Oswald. That’s a crime of passion not doing a favor for a mobster.
