If not now, when?

Considering historical precedent for exhuming the remains of a former US President,
and the examination of those remains comprising this precedent being much more
vague and broader in scope than the long standing, specific public interest in just
two small areas of a wrist and a thigh of the late John Connolly, how is this inquiry unreasonable
compared to precedent?

On this day in 1991, researchers exhumed the body of Zachary Taylor to deal with persistent speculation that Southern politicians had arranged to have the nation’s 12th president poisoned because he opposed extending slavery to the Western territories....

....along with strong evidence the target of the present inquiry, former Texas Governor John Connolly later behaved remarkably similarly to a traitor,

...is it now long past time that his remains be exhumed and then scanned for metal fragments for the purpose of weighing them and adding the
resulting total weight to the weight of CE399.

CONNALLY TAKES BULLET PIECES TO GRAVE
June 18, 1993

....FBI officials in Dallas had recommended that an attempt be made to recover the evidence and settle a long-standing controversy about whether Connally was hit by the same bullet that wounded President John F. Kennedy on Nov. 22, 1963, just before Kennedy was killed by another bullet that tore into his skull.

Dallas FBI agent Oliver B. Revell said he feared that a barrage of lawsuits would be discomfiting to the Connally family in the years ahead unless the fragments were recovered. "We hate to intrude into the family's grief," Revell said a few hours before the final graveside ceremonies, "but it's going to happen sooner or later. I'm afraid the family is going to be harassed on this until it's resolved."

The "single bullet" or "magic bullet" theory was crucial to the Warren Commission's findings that Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, killed the president and wounded Connally as the two men rode together in a motorcade through downtown Dallas.
......
..."It's really offensive," said George Christian, a longtime Connally friend and once his press secretary. "Nobody in the Connally family that I know of ever heard of these fragments."

Revell said there was a fragment in one of Connally's thighs and perhaps some traces in a wrist....

What would the purpose of that be? Do you think that is going to satisfy the crazies? The findings of the original autopsy didn't satisfy them? The concurrence of the FPP didn't satisfy them? Why would anyone believe another bite of the apple would satisfy them? If the body was reexamined and the same conclusion was reached, the crazies would just cry foul again and invent more excuses not to trust the process.

The FBI agent of the Dallas office, quote in the news article in the OP, at the time of Gov. Connolly's death completely disagrees with you.

So what? He has no say in the matter.

You seem to have a penchant for protecting the perps....

Why?

I haven't given up on the midterms. I'm old enough to remember 2022 that was supposed to be a red wave. It turned into a red trickle. The same could happen with the Dems. The public is upset about high prices which may or may not continue to November. If it does, there could be a wipeout. If not, the GOP will probably hold the Senate and still have an outside chance to hold the House. Holding the Senate is more important because it will allow Trump to get his appointments confirmed, especially if a SCOTUS seat or two opens up. The voters are pissed at the GOP but that doesn't automatically mean they will turn to the Dems. Their approval rating is only around 20%. What worries me is there is a segment of the GOP base that doesn't show up when he's not on the ballot.

Yes, indeed, the Secretary of State and National Security Advisor, and USAID Administrator, Marco Rubio, is the finest shield from accountability
any fair minded voter could wish for to protect, until His dying day, perhaps the greatest POTUS in US history, our current one!

I like Rubio too and if he's the GOP nominee for POTUS in 2028, I will gladly vote for him. I think the nomination is J. D. Vance's to lose. A lot can happen between now and the early primaries and caucuses in 2028, but I expect Vance to be the nominee. Rubio would make a great #2.

There are no Democrats who I would even consider voting for in 2028. The Democrat Party has become so toxic with their embracing of the Marxist agenda that I won't consider anybody who is willing to put a D next to their name. I like John Fetterman but he isn't going to be on the national ticket and I live in the neighboring state of Ohio so I can't vote for him anyway. If he is going to remain in the Senate, he will have to switch parties because he will be primaried by the Democrats. Arlen Specter made that move in the oppositive direction. There is one other Democrat I like because he shows some common sense and the courage to call out the far left but I can't imagine him gaining any traction even if he does choose to run. That would be Stephen A. Smith who is a long shot to run and end even longer shot to win the nomination. The Commies are now controlling the primary process in the Democrat Party and not just on the coasts. I hope the Dems nominate AOC. It might be enough to make me believe there is a God.

The only perp in the JFKA died two days after JFK. I'm not the one trying to exonerate him.

Dear Tom "Beautiful Mind" Scully,

You seem to be paranoiac.

Why?
