Hoover's recently released memo; does it prove conspiracy?

"We know Oswald did it, but how on Earth do we ensure the public knows for sure it was Oswald...?"
That's how I read it (the second way).

How could Hoover (or anybody else) have known on Nov 24 that Oswald did it?

The case, as it stands now, isn't strong enough to be able to get a conviction
At the time Hoover was telling LBJ that their case was very weak.....The authorities in Dallas were lying through their teeth and telling reporters all kinds of lies.... like saying they had found Lee Oswald's prints on the gun....and the gun was a deadly accurate rifle that was equipped with a telescopic sight...... and they had found the paper sack that Oswald had used to smuggle the rifle into the building..... and on and on....

Walt, Your quotes are poignant and your conclusions the most reasonable.
To Tony Fratini's previous suggestion, that Hoover was willing to rush to judgment and blame Oswald to protect the world from a possible nuclear war - by letting one man "take one" for the country (against his will) - This is the very same logic that would cause someone like Hoover to justify the killing of one person, the president, to change the political direction of the country (foreign policy, etc.), and frame another person to protect the country from internal social chaos and eternal distrust of the FBI, the CIA, the presidency, etc....
Regarding the cover-up: I think Hoover was less fearful, if at all, that Russia and Cuba might be implicated, than that the citizens of our country would discover that we had leaders we can't trust.... And this is possibly what is behind the contemporary argument that we need to keep some JFK files classified because of national security concerns... These concerns have nothing to do with Russia or Cuba - and everything to do with how the US public perceives it's institutions that can become corrupt to the core.....

More to the point....How could Hoover have known on Nov 24 that Oswald did NOT commit the murder?
And only a bastroid who already knew the truth would want to initiate a campaign to convince the public that the man that he was railroading ( he admitted they had no case against LHO) was the killer.
Bruce Backlund:
I may be wrong, but I don't think J. Edgar Hoover even turned over this memo to the WC indicating a possible Oswald imposter dated June of 1960?

I get the impression that Hoover was fishing when he drafted this letter.
Hoover wanted to know if Lee Oswald was a US agent and hoped that he would receive information about Lee Oswald's status.
