Who was Jim Garrison? A reckless prosecutor who couldn’t accept reality? Or a lone crusader trying to reveal the unspeakable truth to the world?
Editor’s Note. Sen. Richard Russell of Georgia not Sen. Russell Long of Louisiana was on the Warren Commission with Congressman Hale Boggs. (The Russell confused me. lol mg. ) That being said Sen. Russell Long was also a critic of the Warren Commission saying, “I always thought a second person was involved in the assassination who was a much better shot than Oswald.” He was also quoted as saying he “thinks there should be further investigation.”
