With the election of Donald Trump, we now may get to see who really killed JFK.
As a competitive shooter, I highly recommend you check out the book "Mortal Error": The Shot That Killed JFK.

Howard Donahue began investigating the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Like countless Americans, Donahue was fascinated by the events in Dallas. But what separated him from other amateur sleuths, and even the Warren Commission experts, was a lifetime's experience with guns and ballistics. Mortal Error, chronicles Donahue's twenty-five-year investigation of President Kennedy's death and the stunning revelation it led him to. Donahue believes the fatal shot was by a .223/5.56 Bullet! Not the 6.5×52mm Carcano Oswald was using.

An inch and 1/2 deeper than before
We will never know, Trump will never release the files and if they are released they will be so redacted they won't be worth a fukk

Various forensic and ballistic studies have supported the conclusion that a Carcano rifle could indeed have produced the fatal head shot from the TSBD, given the right conditions and shooter proficiency.
Donahue's theory has been met with skepticism, with critics arguing that his conclusions may overlook key evidence or rely too heavily on speculative interpretations of the data.

My money is still on Oswald. I do not believe Trump is interested in making any changes in the status quo regarding the controversy.

I believe Oswald shot at JFK but the Fatal "Last Shot" came from another source.
Oswald was shooting Ball Ammo and the fatal round that killed JFK "Fragged" into multiple pieces.

Secret Service was observed carrying AR .223/5.56 AR-style rifles before and just after the assignation.
Afterward, the Secret Service's ARs were not seen again.

Donahue the "Weapons Engineer" in the video was the ONLY marksman to place 3 shots into the JFK Manikin in the reenactment of the shooting.

Donahue believes the Fatal shot came from a Secret Service Agent's AR who stood up and fell backward, as the trailing car accelerated—accidentally firing the fatal shot from the Secret Service Agent's rifle!

There are two books generally recognized as "primary sources" for the assassination: the Warren Commission report (generally, the NYT abridged one, as the full report is a shelf-full of volumes) and "Portrait of the Assassin" by then-Congressman Gerald R. Ford, who was a Commission member.

From the information there, the entire official story is just a mass of "WTF?" and "pull the other one, it has bells on" all the way from Oswald's departure from the USMC to being murdered by Jack Ruby.

Just a small bit:

After supposedly doing the shooting, Oswald walked down the steps to the lobby, and got a Coke from the machine there. A DPD officer ran in and Oswald asked what was going on. The cop told him the President had been shot, and went up the stairs. Oswald then walked out of the building and down the street, went home, retrieved a revolver, and then shot a traffic cop for no known reason, and walked off to a theater, getting a discount on the ticket since the movie was half-over. Operating on an anonymous tip, DPD showed up and went directly to his seat and arrested him. He was never charged with killing Kennedy, just the cop.

Most of the rest of it is even less believable.

Ford's book includes an account of how Oswald's mother took a bus from Texas to DC and invaded the Department of Justice to clear the name of her son. Nobody wanted to talk to her. She was apparently a *formidable* woman; John J. McCloy, one of the Commission members, escaped out a back door to avoid her as she barged through his secretaries. McCloy was a Somebody; former American High Commissioner for Occupied Germany, one of the founders of the OSS, former president of the World Bank, helped Earl Warren set up the Japanese (and German and Italian) concentration camps, former chairman of Chase Manhattan Bank and the (Henry) Ford Foundation at the time Mrs. Oswald tried to confront him.

It is noteworthy that Jack Ruby, who had ties to organized crime and killed Oswald, had terminal lung cancer and died while awaiting trial in Wichita Falls; he passed away from lung cancer in a Dallas hospital.

Conspiracy theories are so much fun.

True, but as a long-time competitive shooter & reloading enthusiast who has had the opportunity to visit Daly Plaza, I have serious doubts about Oswald's ability to hit a moving target. Considering he missed the entire car with his first shot!

Now let’s talk about the Epstein friendships. Some of those people are still alive.
