LBJ was in that motorcade, yet HOW MANY photos do you see of him sitting upright, as would be normal...?

I’m sure it didn’t matter that LBJ and JFK loathed each other —I’m sure of it.

I’m also sure it didn’t matter that LBJ ran the state of Texas, most securely in Dallas, which hosted that assassination.

I’m sure that the “LBJ Wink” also isn’t important at all.

Oh yes, I’m SURE of it...

LBJ ducked down on the floor of his car as soon as they rounded the corner onto Dealey Plaza.

Evidence works better.

[all the best]

In any other country the VP would have been a prime suspect. Senate investigations were getting very close to pulling down LBJ. Extraordinarily corrupt. Kennedy made it clear he had no intentions of stepping in. For LBJ it was either his life long dream of being President or disgrace and possibly jail. JFK’ sister also made it known that Johnson was not going to be on 1964 ticket.

If Johnson killed Kennedy, it may have been self-defense. There were a lot of assassinations and assassination attempts around the world in the Kennedy era and the Kennedys and the government had their hand in some of them. My guess would have been that Kennedy would have been more likely to have Johnson killed than Johnson was to have Kennedy killed.

I’m also sure it didn’t matter that LBJ ran the state of Texas, most securely in Dallas, which hosted that assassination.

Bill O'Reilly and his collaborator say in their book that Johnson saw his power in the state slip away while he was sidelined in Washington. LBJ was going to Texas to shore up his own power in the state as much as to support Kennedy's reelection, at least according to O'Reilly's book.
