[338] <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Judgment</strong> 435<br />

Willens, therefore, can be counted as one of those on the commission<br />

sensitive to Jewish concerns.<br />

Joseph A. Ball. Said by the National Law Journal to be "one of the<br />

leading American trial lawyers of his generation," 853 Ball was an old friend<br />

of the chief justice, having known Warren from "California political<br />

circles." Ball, in short, was a political crony of the chief justice and<br />

certainly not one to rock the boat. Ball was purported to be the<br />

commission's "expert" on Lee Harvey Oswald and by virtue of that status<br />

can rightly be called one of the great myth makers of all time.<br />

Albert E. Jenner, Jr. A major player in the Chicago legal<br />

community, personally recruited to the commission by Earl Warren, Jenner<br />

was a senior member of a commission group that prepared the<br />

commission's fraudulent profile of Lee Harvey Oswald as "one lone nut"<br />

who had no CIA or other intelligence connections. Jenner had an interesting<br />

connection of his own. At the time Jenner was named to the commission he<br />

served as the personal attorney to Chicago construction and real estate<br />

tycoon Henry Crown. 854 A Jewish billionaire, Crown was a major<br />

contributor to Jewish causes, including the Wiezmann Institute in Israel, 855<br />

a major force in Israel's nuclear weapons programs (that JFK so strenuously<br />

opposed). Although highly "reputable" in his later years, Crown established<br />

much of his clout in Chicago through his ties to organized crime. 856 Crown<br />

plowed much of his wealth into defense contracting and was a major<br />

stockholder in the General Dynamics Corporation (which Jenner also<br />

represented) which was under investigation by the Kennedy Justice<br />

Department prior to the JFK assassination. 857 And as we noted in Chapter<br />

15, the Bronfman family—sponsors of Louis Bloomfield of the Mossad's<br />

Permindex operation—were also major shareholders in General Dynamics.<br />

Jenner later served as the chief minority counsel to the U.S. House Judiciary<br />

Committee during the Watergate scandal and was assuredly tuned in fully to<br />

the CIA intrigue related to the affair (which we will review in Appendix<br />

Seven). In any case, it's clear that Jenner, too, can be deemed—through his<br />

association with Crown—as part of the "Jewish presence" on the Warren<br />

Commission.<br />

Wesley J. Liebeler. A former New York attorney, Liebeler worked<br />

closely with Albert Jenner in covering up Lee Harvey Oswald's intelligence<br />

community antecedents, although in future years he emerged as an expert in<br />

the less fascinating field of anti-trust law (suggesting that analysis of<br />

intelligence intrigue was never his field of expertise to begin with).<br />

Leon D. Hubert, Jr. A former New Orleans District Attorney who<br />

could have uncovered details about Lee Harvey Oswald's sojourn in New<br />

Orleans, Hubert was instead assigned to investigate the activities of Jack<br />

Ruby in Dallas. Although recommended for the commission by one of its<br />

members, Rep. Hale Boggs, Hubert—like Boggs—was doubtful about
