I can’t believe you just said Vietnam wasn’t important to Johnson. That one statement makes your whole post crap. The CIA wanted Vietnam and Johnson went down with it over the micromanaging of it by Johnson himself.
Johnson had other motivations for accommodating those who wanted Kennedy out. He was probably going to face charges and lose the VP over the Texas Ag allotment scandal in which Henry Marshall was found dead of five rifle shots (that were found to be self-inflicted by that great Texas Democratic political machine).
If you really looked at this stuff you would know that. You’re more interested in throwing rocks from an ignoramus’ point of view. A spoon-fed know-nothing rock thrower.
Tell me one thing: Chicago-mob hit man Jim Braden was arrested in the Dal-Tex building the day of the assassination. What was he doing in there? (This oughta be good)
“I can’t believe you just said Vietnam wasn’t important to Johnson”
In never said that. I only said that upon entering office, if I can believe his close associates (who, admittedly, might be whitewashing), it wasn’t priority one. And certainly, even if his plan was to escalate all along, I see no evidence that he cared enough about it to murder a sitting president.
