-21- the interview. He attempted to pump Ingram for information about the reason for the investigation, about the identity of Ingram's client and whether or not he was a target of an investigation. It appeared obvious to Ingram that Phelan had lied to Ingram when he told Ingram that he had not furnished the Hubbard transcript to the government. In addition, based on the totality of the interview and the various documents obtained via FOIA, it appeared to Ingram that the Saturday Evening Post and some if its reporters, including James Phelan, have willingly cooperated in secret counterintelligence operations on behalf of government agencies as far back as 1963. In addition, it appears to Ingram that Phelan may have knowingly been used by either the CIA or FBI to sabotage Jim Garrison's criminal prosecution of Clay Shaw for conspiracy to assassinate President Kennedy when he testified to his conclusions about the credibility of Garrison's investigation and to his conclusions about the truthfulness of Perry Russo, Garrison's chief witness for the prosecution. Just prior to Ingram terminating the interview, Phelan asked Ingram on two seperate occasions if Ingram was "wired. " Ingram told him that he wasn't wired. Phelan then told Ingram that Ingram could probably tell that Ingram's questions had made him very nervous because it was Phelan who was then trying to ask the questions rather than Ingram. Ingram asked Phelan how it felt to have someone turn a "soft ball" interview of him into a "hard ball" interview, just like he had done to Hubbard. Phelan got even more nervous. Ingram then thanked Phelan, collected his document and left the home. END OF INTERVIEW DEBRIEF EUGENE M.
