Clint Hill, 91, was trailing with the limousine in the presidential motorcade as the Secret Service agent assigned to first lady Jacqueline Kennedy. He opens up to NBC’s Jacob Soboroff about the day 60 years ago when shots rang out and killed President John. F. Kennedy, and the amount of people who still believe in a conspiracy around what happened.

Mr. Hill, I hope you read this. I want you to know that I have studied and read about the Assassination. Of all the agents following the president's car, you were the ONLY agent whose eyes were pointed in the direction they needed to be. The other agents were looking backwards toward the Depository. You were the only one who reacted appropriately. No human being could have done more than you did. You pushed yourself to beyond your limit. Yes, President Kennedy was lost, but two small children got to grow up with a mother because of your actions. That's no small thing. Thank you for everything you did. God bless you.

Oswald did it and he acted alone. The irony is the Oswald that was depicted in the film JFK was the quintessential opposite of the real Oswald. The real Oswald was a hard headed narcissistic AHole who was far from being a coward and a patsy. You don't defect to the Soviet Union at the height of the cold war only to return 3 years later with a beautiful Russian wife and fluent in Russian if you were a chicken sh!

Parkland doctors all stated the shots came from the front and blew out the back of Kennedy`s head, they have all seen many gun shot victims to know an entry and exit wound.

@curbozerboomer1773 10 месяцев назад

If you do any research, you will find that the only coverup, was a minimal, "KMA" argument among a few government agencies, who did not want to share some info concerning Oswald. There was a sort of competition between the CIA, FBI, etc, back in the day. Maybe it still exists. Hopefully not.

@debraenderle4737 10 месяцев назад

The cover up is that Oswald wasn't aiming at the president. His target was Gov. Connolly. Connolly was head of the Dept. of the Navy when Oswald came back from Russia and sent a request to Connolly to reinstate Oswald's honorable discharge from the Marines which had been rescinded when Oswald defected to the U.S.S.R. Connolly was leaving his post to run for governor of Texas, so all Oswald got was a form letter with a campaign sticker on it, passing the matter on to the next man. Oswald couldn't get a decent job to support his Russian wife and child once he returned to the U.S. if his military service record showed his discharge had been taken away. From then on, Connolly went on Oswald's enemy list. How would it look to other enemy nations of the U.S., especially during the Cold War, if the Warren Commission announced that Kennedy hadn't been Oswald's target and the President of the United States was killed by accident because his head got in the way. President Kennedy was wearing a back brace; if he hadn't been, his body would have fallen to the side faster giving Oswald a clearer shot at Connolly.

@joshuamccracken1498 10 месяцев назад

Because Kennedy liked being seen, and the driver had his back to everything that was going on in those six seconds. Most people don’t recognize gunshots as such for at least 3-8 seconds after they’re fired, much less three of them. No one thought this would happen. You might also be interested to know that the driver had a complete breakdown in the hours after, and it wasn’t until Jackie asked him to drive Kennedy to Bethesda that he began to calm down. She was a very classy woman.

When are you people going to give up on this "magic bullet theory." There was nothing magical about it. The bullet that went through Kennedy's neck(from BEHIND) also went through Connelly. Just step away from the ether for a second, watch the Zapruder film and look closely as they come out from behind the highway sign. Both Kennedy and Connelly react simultaneously from the same bullet. There's no lapse in reactions. It's as clear as the Texas sun that afternoon. Quit looking for ghosts in the shadows that aren't there. Never were and never will be.

@stddisclaimer8020 7 месяцев назад

@@lindagiovannazambanini6218 Paul Landis' own Secret Service report said nothing about finding a bullet; and also said he did not go into the emergency room at all. It was in 1988 (25 years later) that Landis floated the first of his bullet “revelations.” In that year, instead of finding CE399, he said he found a large bullet fragment in the backseat that he put into his pocket. About 10 years later, he claimed he found another bullet, one that was complete. This last tale is the one he told Clint Hill who didn’t believe it then, knowing Landis had become an unstable conspiracy nut. The truth is Paul Landis is a fakir, a fabricator; and assuming he has control of his mental faculties, a brazen liar.

It's interesting what Lee Bowers, the rail yard tower man, said: he noticed there was a reverberation between the TSBD area and the underpass -opposite ends of the Plaza - and it was therefore hard to tell from which end of the Plaza sounds were coming from. Other witnesses like Abe Zapruder and Roger Craig also said there were echoes that would very easily explain people thinking they heard 2 shots close together. The evidence shows the time between the 1st and 2nd shots was 3 to 5 seconds or so and the Zapruder Film shows the time between the 2nd and 3rd shots - which I think you might be referring to - was about 5.5 seconds. Harold Norman, one of the guys right below on the 5th floor said all 3 shots were evenly spaced, which makes sense; time to work the bolt, aim again and fire.

Call it a conspiracy theory all you want. I don't know if Lee Harvey Oswald fired the first shot or not, but from just watching the slowed version of the Zapruder film, it is painfully obvious that the fatal shot that killed JFK came from in front of the motorcade. I do not claim to know who was behind his assassination, though I have an opinion. Further, though I believe it is possible that Lee Harvey Oswald was groomed to be the perfect patsy, I am pretty confident that he backed out at the last minute, which made his death that much more urgent because he had knowledge of the main actors.

@jetcat132 9 месяцев назад

Don’t hang your hat on those documents. There is no blockbuster hidden in them. They’re going to mostly be about procedure, methodology, and protecting those aspects of operations. All that matters is the actual physical evidence. Even eyewitness testimony is at best tenuous. Follow the physical evidence, and it leads to Lee Harvey Oswald every single time.

⁠@@richardgann5400There was no hollow point bullet. All of the bullets and fragments were identified to have come from Oswald’s Mannlicher-Carcano. Fragments of the military style FMJ round were recovered from Kennedy’s head wound and from the interior of the limousine. Photos of fragments clearly showing parts of the deformed copper jacket and lead core, one of which was designated WC CE567, are widely available in a Google image search. No frangible or hollow point rounds were fired, that is a myth.

What about the testimony of the Parkland Hospital doctors who saw the wounds 30 minutes after the shots were fired? They all said the shot to the neck and at least one shot through the brain came from the FRONT. Hill is just a body guard.

I don't remember what I was doing that day; I was just a few weeks younger than John, Jr. But that day was my Mom and Dad's wedding anniversary. So, I can not forget the tragedy of that day. Also, 6 years ago, my husband died on that day, so it is twice as sad for me. I am so sorry this man has to carry such a burden all these years. As many comments have said, he is a hero because those 2 children could have been orphaned if he had not done what he did. Finally, if you're a Secret Service agent, maybe you should never drink alcohol because you never know when you have to be on duty.
