Probe Magazine (July-August, 1977), has made the claim that Jim Garrison s offices were wiretapped by the FBI. Before we get to dealing with the allegation, it is worth pointing out that Garrison long believed the FBI was listening in on his conversations.
In early 1967, journalist Hugh Aynesworth visited Garrison to discuss the case. Garrison, he said, would rush off periodically and shout a chess move into the handset of the phone. Aynesworth asked him what was happening and Garrison replied, That s the code. The Feebees [FBI} will never break it. He then told Aynesworth that he had to take out the kids to play before noon because, as he put it, There s a torpedo from Miami after me. Everybody knows they sleep till noon.

On March 26, 1971, Perry Russo was interviewed by Edward Wegmann, William Gurvich and Sal Panzeca. It s a long transcript - some 95 pages covering a variety of topics. It was the second interview they conducted with Russo; the first being on January 29, 1971 and that transcript is 60 pages. A third interview was in April.
I don t know if anybody has published these transcripts - but this excerpt is explosive - and it shows you how Sciambra started to implant a false memory into Russo.
Here is part of the transcript:
It s an incredible story. Russo could only really remember seeing Shaw once - at the Nashville Wharf when Kennedy came to speak in 1962. His identification of Shaw at David Ferrie s service station is questionable, to say the least.
The journalist James Phelan wrote a very interesting memo about the discrepancies and contradictions in Perry Russo s stories. I blogged this memo once before, but I want to put it up once again. This blog post relates to point 10 - the conversation with Perry Russo and James Phelan that took place in Baton Rouge in March of 1967.
Russo told Phelan that he first mentioned an assassination plot in New Orleans, and not in Baton Rouge when initially interviewed by the press and by Andrew Sciambra.
Note that Matt Herron accompanied James Phelan in Baton Rouge. Let s look at what James DiEugenio says about this in
Some comments on this interview:
David Ferrie talked in a joking way that it could be done. And that was the entire conversation during the summer.
No conversation with David Ferrie about Lee Harvey Oswald, and Russo had never heard of Oswald until the assassination.
No mention of Clay Shaw or Clay Bertrand.
He said Ferrie talked about how Castro was getting a bad deal, and that Castro was a good thing in Cuba.
Ferrie had a roommate who was sterile as regards to politics.
Russo forgot about his conversations with Ferrie after the Warren Report came out.
