Mark Lane, the New York attorney who challenged the findings of the
commission that investigated the JFK assassination had a trusted
relationship with the Soviet KGB, according to a KGB informant for
the CIA.
Lanes relationship with the KGB, which was revealed in new files
released from the investigation of the assassination of President John
F Kennedy, was disclosed by a little-known Soviet informant code named
Shamrock. That source, a KGB official who worked in the Soviet
delegation office at the United Nations, contacted the CIA on Jan. 16,
1967, and agreed to share information with both the CIA and FBI, an
April 4, 1967, FBI memo shows.
Shamrocks name was made public for the first time among the more than
35,500 files connected to the Kennedy investigation that were released
late last year.
Lane, who died at age 89 in May 2016, first represented the mother of
Kennedy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald as the Warren Commission conducted
its investigation. In 1966, he published the best-selling Rush to
Judgment, which criticized the commissions work as sloppy and
incomplete.
A Nov. 7, 1967, memorandum from FBI official W.A. Branigan to William
Sullivan, the bureaus longtime intelligence chief, said the
information provided by Shamrock about Lane would be passed to the
White House if Sullivan approved. The Lane file included claims that
Lane, a one-time Democratic member of the New York Assembly, was once
investigated for sodomy by the Queens County, N.Y., district attorney
and had once given two women hand printed instructions in order
that they could perform upon his person perverted sexual acts of a
sadistic and masochistic nature.
The KGBs contact with Lane, the FBI memo said, was Boris Orehkov, a
former official at the Soviet Unions UN delegation.
A Jan. 9, 1968, FBI report released as part of the JFK files said that
an FBI information identified only as "NY 5812-S" said the KGB had
given Lane the code name Kram. The source stated that BORIS
OREKHOV, a KGB officer, assigned to the NY residency, had had two
meetings with LANE and had established a trusted relationship with
him.

Of course, this seems to be based on a single source.
