Citat:
Så här skriver som sagt Garrison i sin bok:In that case, let me sum it up for you real quick. It’s as simple as this. If I answer that question you keep asking me, if I give you that name you keep trying to get, then it’s goodbye, Dean Andrews. It’s bon voyage, Deano. I mean like permanent. I mean like a bullet in my head—which makes it hard to do one’s legal research, if you get my drift. Does that help you see my problem a little better?

Do you have any idea what you’re getting into, my man?
You want to dance with the government? Is that what you want? Then be my guest. But you will get sat on, and I do mean hard.
--Jim Garrison, On the Trail of the Assassins (e-bok)
Det är även så att Andrews själv inför WC vittnar om hur han blev trakasserad av FBI (the Government ?):
Mr. ANDREWS. That’s what the Feebees put on. I know that the two Feebees are going to put these people on the street looking, and I can’t find the guy, and I am not going to tie up all the agents on something that isn’t that solid. I told them, “Write what you want, that I am nuts. I don’t care.” They were running on the time factor, and the hills were shook up plenty to get it, get it, get it. I couldn’t give it to them. I have been playing cops and robbers with them. You can tell when the steam is on. They are on you like the plague. They never leave. They are like cancer. Eternal.
Och så här skriver Anthony Summers i boken, Conspiracy (sid. 311):
He [Dean Andrews] named the man who called him only by the pseudonym if "Clay Bertrand." He has since said that to reveal the truth about his caller would endanger his life, and my own brief contact with Andrews confirmed that the fear is still with him today.

Och så här skriver Bill Turner i en artikel i Ramparts:
Mark Lane, the energetic destroyer of Warren Report myths, was impressed with Andrews candid testimony. Two years ago he called the voluble attorney and arranged to see him. But by the time Lane got to New Orleans, Andrews had clammed up. I'll take you to dinner, he apologized, but I cant talk about the case. I called Washington and they told me if I said anything I might get a bullet in the head ..."Visst, det är hörsägen, men mig veterligen så har inte Mark Lane haft några invändningar härvidlag.

Vad gäller Garrisons tillbakadragande av Andrews' fängelsestraff, så skriver Garrison så här:
Later, after Andrews lost his appeal, his attorneys approached me, concerned that he would never live through a six-months’ sentence with the serious heart condition he had. I knew this was true, and I advised them to file a motion for a new trial. When they responded that the Supreme Court would never grant such a motion, I told them to note on the papers that the motion was approved by the district attorney. It would then be granted pro forma, as it was. When the case was sent back to my office, I dismissed the charges. Andrews never served any time, but he did later die from his bad heart.
