The Carcano was planted, as were the spent cases. They had to go back and add another spent case to the evidence log once they realized James Tague had been hit in the cheek. It still didn’t add up though.
If you listen to LBJ’s phone calls about the Warren Commission formation, then a year later, its conclusion, all he cared about was optics. He knew it was all BS and said so to Senator Russell. They both agreed the Single Bullet Theory was unbelievable, and Johnson said he didn’t believe it either. But he didn’t care about all that, just that they got him a good report laying all the blame on Oswald, a loner.
LBJ got in front of the Senate and House, who both were talking about launching their own independent investigations. That’s the whole reason we have the Warren Commission, so LBJ could control the narrative and not let Congress come to their own conclusions. It was planned to cover-up what actually happened.
CE399 isn’t even the bullet recovered from Parkland. The 2 Parkland witnesses/employees who saw it and retrieved it described a Spitzer bullet, not a Round Nosed FMJ like CE399. FBI came back and showed them CE399, and they both said that’s not the bullet I remember.
The question then becomes, who would plant CIA contract 6.5x52mm Carcano ammunition spent cases and a Carcano rifle on the 6th floor? That was unique ammunition with the Lot codes stamped on the case heads, from Western Cartridge in 1954 made for CIA anti-Communist activities in an undisclosed foreign country.
Was someone trying to steer investigators into looking at the CIA, or did elements within the CIA just figure they were going to get away with it anyway and it didn’t matter? Very strange, either way. Official story is they don’t know where Oswald got the ammo.
