Bush Sr tip on JFK 1963.jpg

On August 25, 1988, the San Francisco Examiner published a story (based on an FBI memo) which began "A man who identified himself as George H. W. Bush phoned the FBI in Houston a few hours after President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in Dallas to report that a right-wing Young Republican had “been talking of killing the president,” FBI documents show." The full memo was later disclosed, although as Russ Baker notes, corporate media did not show any interest in it:[1]
