The Warren Commission (WC) claimed that Lee Harvey Oswald (LHO) assassinated President John F. Kennedy (JFK), shot and killed Dallas Police Officer J.D. Tippit (JDT), wounded Texas Governor John B. Connally (JBC) and attempted to kill retired General Edwin Walker. The evidence supporting these claims is absent from the WC’s twenty-six volumes of exhibits and testimony however, therefore, this has left many questions for us today. I have asked so many questions in this series already, and now it is time for another.
****************************************
Was LHO an FBI informant?
This question has been asked and debated for years. Texas Attorney General Waggoner Carr had thought so and this caused some panic amongst the WC members. The WC of course said that this was not true because the FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover (JEH) said that he wasn’t one during his testimony before the WC.
Mr. HOOVER. Now, no one can work for the FBI without the approval being given at Washington and a record kept of it, even of the confidential informants. That is very tightly controlled. We have no so-called lump sum that we can use to hire people. So there has to be a voucher and specific details of payment. And I know at no time was he an informant or agent or a special employee or working in any capacity for the FBI.
… I have the entire control of whether a man shall be an informant or shall not be an informant. That comes under my chain of command from the local office which has the matter at hand. They can't just put on an informant without our approval.
If this is true then he had to have given permission to FBI Agent John Fain as he wrote the following in a August 30, 1962, report.

During the entire interview, OSWALD appeared to downgrade the possibility the Soviet intelligence service might at any time attempt to use him or obtain information through him. He agreed to contact the FBI if at any time any individual made any contact of any nature under suspicious circumstances with him. OSWALD stated his employer has no government contracts, and is not engaged in any sensitive industry or manufacturing. He stated he could see no reason why the Soviets would desire to contact him; however, he promised his cooperation in reporting to [the] FBI any information coming to his attention. (Commission Exhibit (CE) 824, p. 738)

Here we see Agent Fain asking LHO to report to the FBI, i.e. inform them, and LHO agreeing to do so, therefore, he was an informant for the FBI. He was to report to them any contact or attempted contact under suspicious circumstances by the Soviets. This is what an informant does. Moreover, these boundaries could have been expanded over the next 15 months before the assassination.
Can any WC defender explain why JEH would deny using LHO as an informant when the actual evidence shows that he was one?
Once again we see that the claims of the WC is not supported by the evidence, therefore, their conclusion is sunk.
