Yes, those paragons of virtue. We know Ford was on the Warren commission. I have heard of the possibility, that Nixon told Ford, he better give Nixon a pardon, or he would blow the lid off the Warren commission. Who knows for sure?
I don’t know if you are aware of this but Gerald Ford personally—in his own handwriting—changed the location of the bullet entry wound on an illustration in the Warren Report.
We know this because of the full draft copy released a couple of years ago.
Obviously Gerald Ford had no expertise in forensic pathology.
He was under orders from J. Edgar Hoover because Hoover had pictures of Ford doing the dirty in the Kit Kat club.
Bottom line—your info may well be correct.
Ford could have been blackmailed for his active participation in the coverup of the JFK assassination.
