Letter from Hoover to Rankin I have removed the following material cited to Douglass p 169 On October 23 1964 Warren Commission chief counsel J Lee Rankin received a letter from FBI Director J Edgar Hoover warning him not to release the FBI s reports and memoranda dealing with Michael and Ruth Paine and George and Jeanne de Mohrenschildt Making the contents available to the public could cause serious repercussions to the commission That is an accurate portrayal of what Douglas states on p 169 FBI director J Edgar Hoover apparently did notice however that there was a de Mohrenschildt Paine parallel of a classified nature whose public revelation could threaten the credibility of the Warren Commission Hoover wrote a letter to head Warren Commission counsel J Lee Rankin on October 23 1964 urging him not to release certain FBI reports and memoranda dealing with Michael and Ruth Paine and George and Jeanne de Mohrenschildt Hoover warned Rankin Making the contents of such documents available to the public could cause serious repercussions to the Commission Typical of the work of Douglas and other CTs who cite this passage the comments are taken out of context to suggest that Hoover was trying to cover up information that would threaten the credibility of the Warren Commission and its findings In fuller context the following is what Hoover wrote to Rankin However I again wish to call your attention to the fact that many of our reports in the assassination case the Lee Harvey Oswald case and related inquires contain considerable information of a highly personal nature which was furnished by our Agents during the investigation of those cases I particularly desire to point out those reports and memoranda dealing with Michael and Ruth Paine and Georege and Jeanne de Mohrenschildt and the personal lives of those people Making the contents of such documents available to the public could cause serious repercussions to the Commission and in the same letter referring to an earlier discussion Both Mr Stern and Mr Williams at that time concluded that if the Commission publicized such reports in their entirety the Commission will be criticized for making public information concerning innocent persons Wikipedia should not be inserting material from fringe sources that distort context to give the appearance that Hoover s letter was a nefarious part of a cover up
