'They' get away with not releasing standard information to the public.
Most people, I would think, still believe that the public's interest matters a great deal.
BASIC INFO. Who did Scalia go to Marfa with? It should not be a BFD to have given the public BASIC INFORMATION.
Please, you act as if our government should be completely secretive and no one has a right to question any information that we are or are not given.
Conspiracy theorists often point to a memorandum written by Assistant Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach three days after the assassination as a call for a top-level government coverup of a conspiracy. One passage from the memo reads:
The public must be satisfied that Oswald was the assassin; that he did not have confederates who are still at large; and that the evidence was such that he would have been convicted at trial.
Katzenbach explained the memo, and the general thinking among top administration officials in his testimony before the House Select Committee on Assassinations. Rather than calling for a coverup, the memo called for a full disclosure of the facts of the case. This is made clear in a passage the conspiracy books seldom quote:
It is important that all of the facts surrounding President Kennedy's Assassination be made public in a way which will satisfy people in the United States and abroad all that the facts have been told and a statement to this effect be made now.
. . . and further:
I think this objective may be satisfied by making public as soon as possible a complete and thorough FBI report on Oswald and the assassination.
. . . and finally:
I think, however, that a statement that all the facts will be made public property in an orderly and responsible way should be made now.
If one assumes, as conspiracists do, that there was clear evidence of a conspiracy, and that Katzenbach knew there was such evidence, then the memo is the recipe for a coverup. The reality, however, is that Katzenbach like most of official Washington was convinced that Oswald had done it alone, but also convinced that theorizing about a conspiracy (especially a Communist conspiracy) harmed the national interest.

I wouldn't be willing to bet my life on it, but it could very well be his lawyer. And you're right, it would be VERY convenient to have him there as a representative for the recently deceased.
This has all the hall marks of an old school mob hit. Your most trusted a d loyal friends ultimately led you to your death. Yet no one daresponse to open their mouth because their true loyalty lies within the upper ranks and the organization as a whole.

The public matters as much today as it did then.

Before I go off in this direction, does anybody else think the Pope himself had knowledge of this event to be held at the property of the Prior of the International Order of St. Hubertus beginning Feb. 12th thru 17th?
Does anybody else find it strange that he was in the Juarez/El Paso area shortly after Scalia's passing? That area is far removed from Mexico City where most of his visit centered around, but only a couple of hours from Marfa.
Does anybody else wonder what he offered, forgave, promised, said to the businessmen he met with there in El Paso and/or Juarez or even the criminals he spoke to in his prison visit?

Well, now we will never have conclusive evidence of that without an autopsy.

That was a assassination, in this case a unwell old man died from natural causes, no conspiracy.... yet as we see some people just have to make one up!

You'd think it would just be the most standard detail to make public.
What has it got to do with the public? Apart from those who want to make up inane conspiracy theories about a everyday event!
It's really unbelievable what 'they' get away with.
What exactly do you think anyone is getting away with?

You have no conclusive evidence to show Scalia died from natural causes.
You don't even know what the physician actually said, you simply have to take this one person at their word.
You have nothing. No evidence.

Provide or question substance...
Maybe provide substance to back up your position or substance to contradict the evidence being discussed.
That is something those making up this inane conspiracy should do....
