The old chestnut: rogue elements in the CIA.
I'm guessing you haven't cracked the pages of any of the responsible, scholarly works on the JFK assassination written in the last 40 years. Some questions for you to ponder:Are you aware that some Mafia leaders were overheard on FBI wiretaps talking about wanting to see JFK dead before the assassination?Are you aware that an FBI informant reported hearing Mafia leader Santo Trafficante say that JFK was going to be "hit" before the assassination?Are you aware that Frank Ragano, the long-time attorney for Trafficante, revealed in his 1987 memoir that a seriously ill Trafficante, facing emergency heart surgery, told him that he and Marcello were responsible for JFK’s death? Are you aware that a business associate of Mafia kingpin Carlos Marcello told federal authorities that he heard Marcello say he was going to have JFK killed and that the hit would involve "“setting up a nut to take the blame"?Are you aware that an FBI informant reported that he heard Marcello admit to being involved in JFK's death? Are you aware that Mafia man Eugene Hale Brading was arrested while coming out of the Dal-Tex Building shortly after the assassination because he seemed to be acting suspiciously? (Once at the police station, he gave the police a fake name, and the intrepid, uncurious DPD turned him loose when nothing came back about his fake name.)Are you aware that in 2017 FBI documents were released that showed that Mafia tool Jack Ruby had advance knowledge of the JFK assassination? Are you aware that two witnesses reported that in 1973 CIA hitman David Sanchez Morales proudly admitted to them that he and other CIA people "took care" of Kennedy in retribution for Kennedy's alleged treason in the Bay of Pigs operation? The two witnesses were Morales' lifelong friend, Ruben Carbajal, and Morales' attorney, Bob Walton.Are you aware that Mark Wyatt, who served as a deputy to JFK-hating CIA officer William King Harvey, told his children and a French journalist that he saw Harvey on a flight to Dallas in November 1963, and that Harvey made comments to him soon after the assassination that indicated Harvey had either known about the murder in advance or had been involved in it. Wyatt’s daughter urged him to testify to the HSCA, but he could not bring himself to do it because of his sense of loyalty to the CIA.Of course, given the fact that the Mafia and the CIA were working closely together at the time against Castro's Cuba, it is entirely plausible that anti-JFK elements from both entities teamed up to kill JFK. It is not an either/or situation.
