(12,792 posts)I find it suspect that the J. Edgar driven FBI would so easily dismiss a known mafia-connected suspect who was there on "oil-related" business. Covertly, Brading had offices in New Orleans very close to Guy Bannister and Oswald, implying the anti-Castro covert operation connection investigated by Garrison. Once again, you list the anti-Castros, the mafia and the CIA as if they had no overlap whatsoever. That overlap, which I stress time and time again, existed in the covert militia and counter-intelligence operations taking place in New Orleans and elsewhere.
This declassified CIA document refers to Oswald's time in Russia as having a "maturing" effect on him. The document also states that Oswald wished to return to the US "if he could come to some agreement concerning the dropping of legal proceedings against me".

Who knows what agreement may have been reached? Perhaps the answer lies in one of the 1100 other classified documents yet to be released by the CIA.
