I just watched the Mark Lane documentary. “Citizen Lane.”

www.imdb.com/title/tt1444256/?ref_%3Dfn_al_tt_1


Clearly made by someone who was very PRO Mark Lane. He comes across as a hero.
6:50 He claims his father was the accountant who busted Al Capone.
I have no idea if that’s true or not.
16:00 he says he was a 1960’s “freedom rider” I can’t imagine that isn’t verifiable, so I’ll say I believe him
His sister said that Lane predicted Oswalds death ahead of time. Who can cay? I bet a lot of people were thinking Lee might be silenced

27:50 he says the publisher of Holt Rhinehart and Winston said if “Rush to Judgement” didn’t get published hed resign. The he claims the president of the book publishing company was warned by the FBI not to release it.

30:28 he says the FBI was listening to every speech he gave.
Is this true? Can it be proved?
If it was true I say- so what? He claimed to have new information on the most important crime in the country. If I ran the FBI id want to hear what this new information supposedly was.

31:03 he says a CIA assassin called into a radio show to arrange a meeting, to warn him (Lane) he was going to be assassinated.
33:49 someone named Stephen Jaffee says the FBI and the CIA wanted Lane Dead.
(Then why didnt Lane become Dead?)
42 minutes in. He says he was accused of fabricating a book of interviews with Vietnam veterans.
I’ve never heard of this but cant say either way.
The 1971 Winter Soldier investigation?

45:50 I have read in many other places that Mark Lane was Jim Jones lawyer / advisor.
Yeah. The same “Drink the purple juice” Cult leader Jim Jones.
50 minutes in Lane says he saved Congressman Leo Ryan from a knife wielding attacker.
Ive heard the knife story in multiple documentaries on Jonestown. Id never heard that Lane was involved.
One hour in….. Lane says he has proof that J Edgar Hoover suggested/insinuated “made” Martin Luther King stay at the Lorraine motel- where he was supposedly an easy target.
1:05 24 Lane says the day after the assassination, the Mayor of Memphis had all the shrubs and trees across from the Lorraine cut down- to hide evidence?
Is this true?

1:25 he got a convicted man out of prison. James Richardson. I don’t know anything about this case. If he was right, good on him.
