Emerging consensus that LBJ killed JFK?

...Lyndon Johnson was a loutish psychopathic willing to do anything to advance his rise to power. His rise was fueled by graft, corruption, and murder. Yes, murder. LBJ's hitman, Malcolm Wallace, had killed seven other people in Johnson's rise to power, including LBJ's own sister, Josefa Johnson.

...As the rift between Kennedy and hardliners widened, into the void stepped Lyndon Johnson. Never to let opportunity go to waste, LBJ found the ultimate solution to his Bobby Baker scandal that was coming to a boil on Capitol Hill. LBJ's days were numbered, and he was facing possible prison. Kennedy was already showing signs that Johnson would be dumped from the 1964 ticket. With his ruthless drive for power, and RFK as the likely successor to the JFK legacy, LBJ would be out in the cold, except of course, if he could pull off the crime of the century, kill JFK, and garner public support in the process.

...For many years, Johnson was a neighbor and a close confidante to J. Edger Hoover, Director of the FBI. Normally, people like him would be in jail, but in LBJ's case, he held much sway with Hoover and the justice system. JFK, however, planned to force Hoover out in 1965 with the mandatory retirement at 70 for all federal employees.

... Johnson's mistress, Madeleine Brown, told investigators years later that Johnson told her that evening, "After tomorrow, those goddamn Kennedys will never embarrass me again. That is no threat. That is a promise."

...LBJ was in the pale blue Lincoln in the motorcade, two cars back from the President's car. LBJ was seen to be ducking low in his car as it approached Elm Street even before the shots were fired. He knew the shots were coming, and he was trying to take cover.

My parents were involved in conservative politics in Texas when JFK was murdered. They thought LBJ did it too.

I didn’t give it much thought at the time but years later when I read the bios on LBJ by Caro I began to realize what LBJ was really like. Caro did not accuse LBJ of the crime but he opened to door to his character and let you see for yourself.

"LBJ’s mistress and JFKs widow both agreed LBJ was behind it."

Wrong on both. The story by LBJ's so-called mistress is full of holes, and Jackie didn't say LBJ did it.

It was solved in November 1963.

This photo always bothered me ... but there is another one I can’t locate right now that catches LBJ absolutely glowering at JFK during the inauguration!

My husband is a shooter/hunter, he visited the book depository. He said the shot at the approaching car would have been an even easier shot than the one that Oswald took.

"My husband is a shooter/hunter, he visited the book depository. He said the shot at the approaching car would have been an even easier shot than the one that Oswald took."

But it's not the one he took, which is all that really matters.

A couple of things though. Shooting at the approaching car would be shooting at a moving target, and shooting over the heads of other people in the car. Shooting at the car moving directly away, like he did, nobody else was in front of his view of JFK, and it was almost like shooting a stationary target. The street curved away and goes downhill, so the car was moving almost directly away. No leading the target.

The other thing, I looked up Houston street out that window myself recently, last November, and at about the same time of day. I noticed in doing that I was looking into the sun. I've never heard anyone mention that.
