Believers in the official theory act like the Warren Commission (WC) did a thorough job of evaluating all possibilities in regards to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy (JFK). Let's see if this is accurate.
On March 26, 1964, Mr. Norman Redlich would send a memorandum to Lee Rankin proposing how the final report should be written. Keep in mind, the report would not be released until mid-September but they are already focusing on the final report.

MEMORANDUM March 26, 1964
TO: Lee J. Rankin
FROM: Norman Redlich
SUBJECT: Proposed Outline of Report
I attach a proposed outline of our final report. This plan envisages a main report and supplementary materials to be published as one volume. This will be followed by appendixes to be published when prepared. These appendixes will contain the supporting material for the report such as the transcript of testimony, important underlying investigatory material, and photos of important exhibits not published with the original report.
I have listed the staff members who I feel should have responsibility for the particular sections of the report. Although I have assigned small sections of the report to Mr. Williams, Mr. Eisenberg, and myself, the major responsibility lies with other members of the staff.
I am assuming that Mr. Williams as your Administrative Assistant, and I as your Special Assistant, together with Mr. Eisenberg, will have responsibility for review, editing, avoidance of duplication, and other technical details of putting a report into publishable condition.
With your permission, I would like to distribute this outline to the staff.
PROPOSED OUTLINE OF REPORT
(Submitted by Mr. Redlich)
I. Statement of Objectives and Standards (Mr. Rankin)
(The Report should start with a brief statement setting
forth the Commission's view of its objectives and
standards used to achieve them. It is important to
clarify the Commission's position as a fact-finding
body and to indicate wherein our findings differ from a
judicial determination of criminal guilt.)

Notice how they say their work is one of "fact-finding" and where their findings differ from a judicial determination of criminal guilt. All LNers act like LHO is guilty, that the case is closed, well here we have the WC stating it CANNOT attach judicial criminal guilt to anyone. The LNers have a theory, a very bad one, and that's all.

II. Brief Summary of Major Conclusions (Redlich and Willens)
(The purpose of this section is to provide the reader
with a short statement of our major conclusions without
having to read through the entire document.)
A. Basic Facts Concerning Assassination of President
Kennedy and Shooting of Governor Connally
B. Identity of the Assassin
C. Conclusions Concerning Accomplices
D. Conclusions Concerning Motive
E. Ruby's Killing of Oswald and Conclusion as to
Possible Link to Assassination
Quote off
Why do they not want the reader to read the entire finding? Why try to limit them to the report? Notice item "B", it is singular, not plural, thus they had their minds made up 6 months before their final report it would be one person and one person only. Why they even list item "C" is up in the air, but it is probably just an excuse to once again proclaim he had NO help. Item "D" would go unanswered as they NEVER provided a motive for Lee Harvey Oswald (LHO).
Quote on
III. The Assassination -- Basic Facts (Adams and Specter)
A. Physical Setting
1. Description of Motorcade
2. Description of Area where Shooting Occurred
B. Shooting
1. Number of Shots
2. Medical Effect of Each Shot
3. Point from which Shots Fired
4. Statistical Data
a. Elapsed time of shooting
b. Distance travelled by Presidential car
c. Speed of car
d. Distance travelled by each bullet
5. Events Immediately following Shooting
a. Reaction of Secret Service
b. Trip to Parkland
c. Events in Parkland
d. Trip to Love Field
e. Return to Washington
Quote off
This is all straight forward stuff in an outline form, obviously the manner in which they would cover it was very prejudicial towards LHO. They would exclude, distort or omit much testimony to make the case for LHO and LHO alone work.
Quote on
IV. Lee H. Oswald as the Assassin (Ball and Belin)
(This section should state the facts which lead to
the conclusion that Oswald pulled the trigger and
should also indicate the elements in the case which
have either not been proven or are based on doubtful
testimony. Each of the factors listed below should
be reviewed in that light.)
A. Identification of Rifle as Murder Weapon
B. Oswald's Ownership of Weapon
C. Evidence of Oswald Carrying Weapon to Building
1. Fake Curtain Rod Stroy [sic]
2. Buell Frazier's Story
3. Possible Presence in Paine's Garage on
Evening of November 21, 1963
D. Evidence of Oswald on Sixth Floor
1. Palm Prints on Carton
2. Paper Bag with Oswald Print
E. Eyewitness Testimony
F. Oswald After Assassination -- Actions in
Building
G. Oswald After Assassination -- Actions up to
Tippit Shooting
H. Shooting of Tippit and Arrest in Theatre
1. Eyewitnesses
2. Gun as Murder Weapon
3. Oswald's Ownership of Gun
I. Statements After Arrest
J. Prior Actions
1. Walker Shooting
2. Possible Nixon Attempt
3. Practice with Rifle
K. Evidence of any Accomplices in Assassination
L. Appraisal of Oswald's Actions on November 21
and 22 in Light of Assassination
(This will be a difficult section, but I feel we
must face up to the various paradoxical aspects of
Oswald's behavior in light of his being the
assassin. I suggest the following items for
consideration.)
1. Did He Have a Planned Escape?
2. Why did he pass up the Opportunity to get money
on November 21 when he returned to Irving?
3. Discussion with Marina about getting apartment
in Dallas
4. Asking fellow employee, on morning of November
22, which way the President was coming.
Quote off
Look at the two areas in parentheses. Does this sound unbiased to you? Not to me as they had already decided LHO was the man and this was all a big hoax to show how he could have done it, not whether or not he did do it. Item "K" was the probably the quickest and most ignored section of this section of the outline.
Quote on
V. Possible Motive (Jenner, Liebeler, Coleman, Slawson)
A. Brief Biographical Sketch of Oswald (Fuller
Biography in Supplement)
B. Any Personal Animosity Toward Kennedy or Connally
C. Do his Political Beliefs Furnish Motive
D. Link to Domestic Left-Wing Groups
1. Fair Play for Cuba
2. Communist Party
3. Conclusions to be Drawn from such Links
E. Link to Right-Wing Groups
F. Possible Agent of Foreign Power
G. Possible Link to Underworld
Quote off
More proof LHO was the man in their eyes 6 months prior to releasing their report. Here we see a whole section, 4 lawyers, assigned to finding a motive for why the assassination was done, and of course we would end with NO motive given. Good work men.
Quote on
VI. Killing of Oswald by Ruby (Hubert and Griffin)
A. Facts of the Killing
1. Actions of Ruby starting with November 22
2. Description of Events on November 24
B. Discussion of Possible Link with Assassination
of President Kennedy
C. Other Possible Motives
1. Brief Biographical Sketch (Fuller Sketch in
Supplement)
2. Ruby as Self-styled Patriot, Hero,
Important Man
3. Possibility of Ruby being Mentally Ill
Quote off
Item "C" was never explained as the reason given was supplied by Ruby's lawyer AFTER the shooting.
Quote on
SUPPLEMENT TO BE PUBLISHED WITH REPORT
A. Visual Aids To Help Explain Main Body of Report
(All Staff Members Concerned)
B. Organization and Methods of Commission (Willens)
C. Security Precautions to Protect Life of
President (Stern)
1. What Was Done on This Trip
2. Broader Recommendations in This Area
(I recognize that this area has been the
subject of extended discussion and it might
be desirable to move this section to the
main body of the Report)
D. Detailed Facts About President's Trip up to
Assassination (Adams, Specter, Stern)
E. Biography of Oswald (Jenner, Liebeler, Coleman,
Slawson)
F. Biography of Ruby (Hubert and Griffin)
G. Oswald Relationship with U.S. Government
Agencies (Redlich, Stern, Coleman, Slawson)
H. Discussion of Widely Circulated Theories
(Redlich and Eisenberg)
I. Other Important Documents We May Wish to Publish
as Part of Supplement, I suggest the following:
1. Autopsy Reports
2. Summary of Testimony of Experts on Physical
Evidence (Eisenberg)
3. Charts and Other Data Presented by Experts
(Eisenberg)
4. Reports of Medical Examination on Governor
Connally
5. Report of FBI and Secret Service on Location
of President's car at Time of Shots (Redlich
and Eisenberg)
Quote off
Item "G" didn't require much work as this was never looked into as the FBI and CIA saw to that.
We see that the WC had decided early on, just like the Dallas Police Department (DPD) and FBI, that LHO was the man and no one else was involved at all. This was shoddy work as they owed the American people a better deal than this. Blaming someone for killing the duly-elected president who is not guilty is not justice, it just robs all the citizens of their rights and makes a mockery of our Constitution. Why did they NOT seek the truth? Perhaps they were afraid for the country as a major war could have started, I don't buy it, but let's say it was a possibility. Why not set the record straight later on when it was safe? Why keep the Big Lie going for 55 years and counting? Why is the media so silent in regards to this issue?
