People like Ford are disconcerting. I wish there were an easy answer for how to deal with liars; but, there isn't.
The best one I can think of is that there are still people out there that some of these guys are really afraid of. Another possibility is that the Government was involved to an extent that would shake public faith more than it already has been. What if Johnson really had the Kennedies killed. What if Hoover helped him do it. Think of the impact that would have to this society. It wouldn't excuse the lies; but, it does make them understandable. I think there is no better medicine than the truth. People will forgive a lot of things if you're just truthful with them.
It's when people lie and stick to their lies that trust is irrevocably broken.

Excellent points. I think Hoover is connected to this & that explains people like Gerald Ford. If it had been revealed that Hoover was part of it, the country would have melted down.

Just ask - why were people that were fired and enemies of JFK on the Warren commission? Where did the kill take place? Whose brother was the mayor of Dallas? etc etc.

Yes.

I do believe the risk of the puppet masters being exposed has a lot of people running scared of their terminating wrath.
