I have a physical copy of the book Assignment: Oswald by FBI Agent James Hosty. And I found the page in which he refers to FBI Agent James Bookhout. So, he said that when he got to the 3rd floor, that Bookhout was standing on some sort of pedestal, so that he could see above the crowd, in trying to find him.
I am going to post the excerpt from the book so that you can see it yourself like you were holding it in your hands. Would a six foot tall man even think about doing that? Consider how rare such a behavior is. I can't cite any other instance of anyone doing that anywhere, let alone in a police station. I take it is clear and solid evidence that Bookhout was short. And remember that the claim is that he was tall: six feet tall. A six foot tall man could just stand on his toes and get up to 6'2". He is not going to stand on any pedestal. And what was the pedestal? I have no idea. I would just be guessing.
So, I'm thinking that Bookhout stood in the doorway of the Homicide Bureau on some object he saw. He was facing the hallway. He did it to find Hosty. And he found him and guided him in. And soon thereafter, they entered Fritz's glass-walled office within the Homicide Bureau.What I have been saying that Bookhout was short is the truth. The people claiming he was tall are ones who have been lying.
And my claim is based on much more than this. It's based on the fact that we found his high school photo, and he was the shortest guy in the ROTC lineup. It's based on the fact that Bookhout told the WC that he couldn't see JFK on Main Street because there were people in front of him. He didn't even bother to explain it because he was there and his shortness was evident. A tall person wouldn't say that, right? It's based on the fact that the Shooter standing admid the detectives is obviously short. It was taken on the 3rd floor a couple minutes after the shooting. It's weird because they were standing in the dark. The only light is the light from the flash on the NBC camera. So, why were they standing in the dark on the 3rd floor of the PD?
James Bookhout was the Garage Shooter of Oswald in the televised spectacle. I don't say he actually shot him. I think that was all theater. I think Oswald was shot afterwards, and I'm sure it wasn't by Bookhout. But, I am absolutely sure Bookhout knew of Oswald's fate. So yes, he was involved in killing him, even though he didn't pull the trigger.
