It doesn’t help to pretend Oswald was innocent.
He was NOT sitting on the 2nd floor when JFK was shot.
Oswald ran for a reason, and he shot Tippet for a reason.
Not too convinced of the author’s assertion that Hoover hated Kennedy, either.
Nor am I.
J.Edgar was a good but imperfect man, a dedicated public servant from every unbiased source I have read about the man. He warned Kennedy off his high profile sexcapades with starlets and interns alike. Perhaps, not so much out of respect for Kennedy as of repect for the office and its potential for blackmail and to harm national security.
He was on the same page as JFK when those four little black girls were killed in the Birmingham church bombing just a couple of months before JFK's assassination. It was then and there that they resolved to break the KKK, a mission which Hoover had accomplished within the next decade.
His successors were so reluctant to admit this that the farce of FBI infiltration continued for several years after Hoover died until it was finally discovered that the dues of FBI infiltrators were the only thing keeping the Klan on life support.
