Warren Commission (09 of 26): Hearings Vol. IX (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. Yes; I'm not quite sure--there were quite a few other
Russians, but it was George who brought the Oswalds into the party.
Mr. JENNER. We have had some off the record discussions all in the
presence of Miss Oliver and Mr. Davis. Is there anything that occurred
during our off-the-record discussions that is pertinent, which I have
failed to bring out.
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. No; if it was pertinent I would not have taken it off
of the record.
Now, may I say something myself?
Mr. JENNER. Certainly.
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. Would you care to know what my opinion of the
assassination is, or is that just an opinion?
Mr. JENNER. All right; let's have it.
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. I still believe it is a conspiracy.
Mr. JENNER. Well, on what do you base that opinion?
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. Well, I have read--I'm quite sure everything that you
have read, and you read probably more than I did because you have these
interrogations.
There are just so many things that are unbelievable, that a person like
Oswald, would be allowed to do the things in Russia.
Mr. JENNER. We are interested in that sort of an opinion. What is the
basis of your opinion in that respect?
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. Well, I have studied communism and I have watched them
operating, you know.
Mr. JENNER. All right.
(Discussion between Counsel Jenner and the witness, Raigorodsky, off
the record.)
Mr. JENNER. Now, I want that on the record.
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. Well--the fact that they gave you all of the record,
they gave you all of the records on Oswald, that he was running around
in Russia, marrying a Russian woman, that she was allowed to go out
of Russia--I know several cases where they wouldn't allow a person
whom Americans marry to come for several years. Here, everything was
(snapping his fingers) so--just like that. It just reads too much like
a fairy tale. I mean, as much as they claim they don't trust him, they
surely didn't show it by the action in granting him different things
which he received in Russia and in this country.
Now, Marina, I don't know anything about her.
Mr. JENNER. This is your supposition and rationalization on your part?
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. That is correct.
Mr. JENNER. Now. I have your file----
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. Now you take anything you want out of it.
Mr. JENNER. All right. Let's do it this way--I have your file which you
have kept marked "Re: George De Mohrenschildt."
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. I will just identify these documents.
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. You don't need to.
Mr. JENNER. Well, I need it for my record.
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. Oh, all right.
Mr. JENNER. I am not questioning you.
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. Well, I'm not questioning you.
Mr. JENNER. The bottom portion of this sheet consists of a duplicate
telegram, and the upper portion consists of some French language or
what might be clippings from a French newspaper. It is marked with a
circle No. 1 [document is in evidence as De Mohrenschildt Exhibit No.
1].
What are they and how did you get those?
