been considered. The government was obligated to consider the
hypothesis of a frame, because the Secret Service had been given

actual plot uncovered in Miami to kill President Kennedy. The
informant described how a patsy would be provided to throw the
public off the real trail of the conspirators. But, the

Oswald's possible role in the assassination. They ignored
it although the bullet designated Commission Exhibit 399
tipped itself off as a plant flying into the case as it did
without benefit of blood, tissue, weight loss or deformation.
Again we see the pattern. There was prejudicial action
taken against Oswald after the assassination. This official

taken. This pattern is only consistent with a frame-up, and
