Johnson Did Not Rule Out A Conspiracy

[John Corbett]

Who cares what LBJ thought. He was getting most of his information directly from Hoover and it is clear from their recorded conversations that Hoover was completely clueless about the details of the assassination.

Try thinking before you write something as stupid as this.

You rely on the WC findings, right?

The WC relied completely on Hoover's FBI for the bulk of the investigation. Everything went through Hoover so if he was completely clueless than so was the WC!

You're just trolling.

Great clip, thanks for posting.

LBJ had reason, perhaps, for his qualms. After all, LBJ more or less told WC Warren that sidestepping a nuke war with Russia was Job 1.

For you younger readers the idea of a nuke war in 1963 was fresh and real---in 1962, some people thought it was 50/50 the US and Russia would have a nuke war (the CMC).

Here, LBJ seems to be hinting at Russia and Cuba.

BTW---the US Ambassador to Mexico, Thomas Mann, and the State Department staffer in Mexico Charles Thomas, both thought there was a lot to the Cuba-LHO connection, and they were both shut down, and both lost their jobs in short order.

I must have missed that one. Do you have a source for that?

It's no secret LHO was trying to get a visa to Cuba while in Mexico City. There is no evidence that had anything to do with his assassination of JFK. How could anyone, Oswald included, have known that just a few months later Oswald would be working at a building overlooking a route JFK would be taking in a slow moving open top car?
