I've been studying the JFK assassination off and on since 1967. I'm intrigued by the theory put forward by John M. Newman in his 2022 book, "Uncovering Popov's Mole," that a KGB "mole" by the name of Bruce Solie in the mole-hunting Office of Security sent (or duped his Kim Philby-like confidant, protégé and mole-hunting subordinate, James Angleton, into sending) Oswald to Moscow in 1959 as an ostensible "dangle" in a planned-to-fail hunt for "Popov's U-2 Mole" / "Popov's Mole" (Solie) in the wrong part of the CIA -- the Soviet Russia Division.
I highly recommend Newman's book, but with a large caveat: disregard his claims that Sergei Papushin was a true defector (he wasn't -- just ask Sandy Grimes who helped uncover Aldrich Ames), that Oswald was a Ukrainian (sic) KGB agent when he was living in Minsk, that some evil high-level military officers killed JFK when he failed to nuke Moscow and Peking in 1963, and that they somehow duped Oswald into framing himself, Khruschev and Castro for the assassination.
Just concentrate on what he says about Solie, Angleton, true-defector Anatoliy Golitsyn, false-defector Yuri Nosenko, Edward Ellis Smith, James McCord (of Watergate fame), Vladislav Kovshuk, Mikhail Tsymbal, Igor Kochnov, and my hero -- Tennent H. "Pete" Bagley, et al.
Pete Bagley was a fine man.
Looks interesting!
