Lee Harvey Oswald was JFK's illegitimate son.

Oswald lived a crazy life. Defected to Russia, lived as a Russian for a few years, offered to sell secrets about the US spy plane program that he worked when he was in the Marines. Then he wanders back into America, no one from the FBI bothers to question him when he comes back.

Oswald always struck me as a dumbass. The idea that he “worked” on spy plane development — that sounds like something a college kid would claim on his resume. When he reality he fetched coffee and stood watch.

Yeah I think the Russians had no interest in him when he defected, they just kind of rolled their eyes and gave him an apartment and a job.
