a second farter on the grassy knoll. Yet another "magic bullet theory."

Listening to it, Swalwell seems to stop abruptly right before the sound. I'm thinking if you're speaking you keep plowing through, and stopping there seems a bit unnatural. That leads me to think that he knew he was about to let it slip out but was powerless to stop it.

Or, perhaps it was the camera operator/tech that was nearby.
