If she and george DeMohrenshildt WERE any kind of “secret agents” they had to be the worst ones ever. THEY themselves told us about their undeniably weird, ironic and (surface level) suspicious connections to the CIA. If they had something (ANY thing) to hide then why did they do NOTHING to hide it? Ruth Paine had the longest Warren Commission testimony of anybody ! It was the longest because she answered everything asked of her- in honest detail.

if there was a mystery to be guarded, and “they” guarded it… why do we even know the name “Ruth Paine?” Why didn’t the CIAjust “compell” Roy Truly to say “I just found Oswald’s application in a pile on my desk “ and protect their supposed agent/ asset? The fictitious version of Ruth Paine is an evil genius who was clever enough to leave out / plant all this incriminating evidence against Oswald but stupid enough to not get rid of the “spy camera” and “file box” the police found in her house? The Walker note the secret service found in the book Ruth gave them? Why not have it just be “found” along with everything else they found- why bring her name into it?
