Rob Reiner on His Podcast ‘Who Killed JFK?’

Isn’t it odd that the Dallas Police homicide chief didn’t record his interview with Oswald, nor hire a stenographer?

The Warren Commission also didn’t interview any of the Secret Service agents who saw the shooting.  We have one on the podcast, Paul Landis. He helped Jackie Kennedy out of the limo, and saw this bullet on the back seat. The bullet is now in evidence in the National Archives. It’s pristine.

Strangely intact, since the Warren Commission claimed that bullet caused seven wounds in JFK and John Connally — who, like Jackie, disbelieved the single-bullet theory. If Oswald didn’t kill JFK, who might have?

The best explanation I got was from former CIA agent Rolf Mowatt-Larssen. He said it has all the earmarks of a rogue CIA operation. The CIA was involved in a lot of extrajudicial killings — in the Dominican Republic, Vietnam — and he told me this is how it was done: Off book, you could never trace it back to any kind of an official program. And oddly enough, Rolf identified a shooter he was sure was involved, and it was exactly a shooter that we [Reiner’s research team] had identified separately.

We bring that out in the podcast, along with three other shooters in Dallas that day. One was connected to the mob, one was connected to the Cuban exiles, and one had done a number of these jobs for the CIA and military.

Who would have a motive to kill JFK?

Three major groups. Cuban exiles working with the CIA, who wanted to get back into Cuba after Castro and were furious at Kennedy because he didn’t send air support for the Bay of Pigs invasion.

The second group was the Mafia, mad because they wanted their hotels and casinos back that they lost in the Cuban revolution. And Attorney General Robert Kennedy, JFK’s brother, was putting them behind bars. The CIA worked closely with the Mafia to try to assassinate Castro [who died of natural causes at 90 in 2016].

The third group were hardliners in the CIA and the military, furious that Kennedy didn’t take an opportunity during the Cuban Missile Crisis to go after the Soviet Union.

There’s no question about it: It was a conspiracy.
