The FBI destroyed evidence -- obstructed justice -- when Special Agent James P. Hosty destroyed a note wriiten by Lee Harvey Oswald and left at the Dallas FBI office 13 days before the assassination of President Kennedy. A secretary who received the note from Oswald read it and told the House Select Committee on Assassinations that it contained a threat to blow up the FBI in Dallas. In her words, Oswald's "letter" read: ("I will either blow up the Dallas Police Department and the FBI office." . Hosty said its contents were of a "non-violent" nature, directed toward him because he had interviewed Marina Oswald when Lee Harvey Oswald wasn't home.
The FBI destroying this note is just one of many examples of important information that the FBI excluded from reporting to the Warren Commission. Other government agencies also withheld important information from the Warren Commission include the Secret Service and the CIA.
What was in the note Hosty destroyed upon hearing Oswald was dead? Oswald could have been warning the FBI about the upcoming assassination. Because the FBI destroyed evidence, we probably will never know for certain what was really in the note. Oswald might have even been trying to do something heroic. That, you wouldn't know, zappaman.
