Johnson didn’t kill Kennedy. He didn’t need to because he had the goods on him. Blackmail is more effective than murder most of the time I think. Please note I am not saying anything complimentary about LBJ

If it was not Oswald - and Oswald working alone - it was Jackie Kennedy who was upset over his philandering and didn’t want to be cut out of the family fortune in a divorce or possibly a Jealous husband. It has been repeatedly shown that Oswald could easily made the shots in the time the shots were made

He may have had the goods on Kennedy but he was looking at another 5 years as vp and facing another Kennedy in 68. Easiest way for him to become president was if JFK died. He certainly had motive, capability and opportunity.

Kennedy was going to dump LBJ for the 64 ticket and Ed Clark and LBJ had painted themselves into such a corner that only the power of the presidency was going to keep them both out of prison, they were basically cornered rats.

LOL That's so funny. Kennedy didn't have big money. Power, yes. No big money.

Johnson had the most plausible motive.

Johnson blackmailed Kennedy to get on the ticket in 1960, but he was going to be off the ticket in 1964, and was going to jail because of Bobby’s efforts to investigate Johnson’s corruption. TIME/LIFE was going to publish the dirt on December 1st—dirt that Bobby turned over to them.
