| BLUF: [Free Beacon] The CIA reported those embassy visits back to the FBI, whose agents in Dallas had been loosely monitoring Oswald’s activities. The agents then launched a more earnest search for Oswald, but could not track him down because he was living under an alias and apart from his wife. The FBI was still looking for him when President Kennedy arrived in Dallas six weeks later. The FBI and CIA badly bungled the Oswald case. The CIA failed to debrief Oswald when he re-defected back to the United States in 1962, despite his threats to turn over military secrets to the Soviets. The CIA was also aware in the fall of 1963 that Castro had given an interview with the Associated Press in which he threatened the lives of American leaders in retaliation for the Kennedy administration’s efforts to eliminate him. Yet the agency did nothing in response to encourage the Secret Service to bolster security for the president. The FBI, for its part, failed to track down Oswald prior to Kennedy’s visit or to enlist the assistance of state and local police in the search. The bureau focused instead on right-wing threats against the president. The two agencies did not play a role in the assassination but failed to take elementary precautions to prevent it. |

| #6 When not in play, auto-default to RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA. It seems almost religious, doesn't it? Like a Wahabbi wanting to kill all the apostates the Left can never forgive Russia 'betraying' Communism. |

| #5 Funny how focused this administration is on "right-wing extremism", but this same administration (and the West) just send hugs and kisses and money to the Ukrainian Nazi bastards. |

| #2 The bureau focused instead on right-wing threats against the president. That obsession on 'right-wing threats' does seem to be a idée fixe of Democratic administrations, doesn't it? Whether they actually exist as a credible threat or not seems irrelevant. |

| #1 The FBI, for its part, failed to track down Oswald prior to Kennedy’s visit or to enlist the assistance of state and local police in the search. The bureau focused instead on right-wing threats against the president. Amazingly similar to CIA and FBI actions leading up to the Boston Marathon event of April 15, 2013. |
