On November 29, 1963, President Lyndon Johnson directed the Warren Commission to evaluate all the facts in the brutal November 22 murder of his predecessor, John F. Kennedy, on a downtown Dallas street in broad daylight. Reduced to its bare essentials, the investigation sought answers to three fundamental questions: Who, why and how?
Why was entirely contingent on who, and that depended on how. Thus, the linchpin of the Warren Reportand every subsequent investigationhas always been precisely how Kennedy was assassinated in Dealey Plaza. That is the finding from which all the important answers flow; mishandle that question and the credibility of the entire report is undermined. The Warren Commissions bungling of how is a primary reason why there have been so many residual doubts and conspiracy theories over the past 50 years.

Great. You just made people post Jack Nicholson pictures.
I remember when the info was sealed for the first 50 years and I hoped I would be alive to hear it. I am 74 and I won’t be here at the end of the next 50. Oh well, LBJ did it, I am sure.
Obama is your classic “puppet” which is why he always looks like a frightened little boy when he is caught off guard.
Flight 800 probably cost more to cover up. Barak’s origin probably cost way more than even that and involves far more accomplices.
I thought it was sealed by the Warren Commission for 75 years.
When you go up in the book depository and look down on the X in the road, it looks so close you could hit it with a pistol. The film and images make the square look bigger than it actually is. I have no doubt that Oswald did it alone with that bolt rifle.
If he had any others that knew or anything we’ll probably never know, but he didn’t cover his tracks well at all so I doubt that too.
I remember 50 years, because I was 23 and I was hoping to be around to hear the truth.
Not Tragic for the Left. The left leveraged that murder to reinvent America. We would not have gotten the federal gun laws and the “Great Society” without it. We very likely would have either stayed out of or won the Vietnam war.
Kennedy would likely be a Republican, today.
“bungling of how”
Only to uneducated nerds that can’t read. The report was spot on. It is even reproducible.
I’ve seen another show on TV that gave the explanation of the first shot hitting the signal light mast.
This explanation actually works for me, regarding “How?”.
“Why?” is still TBD, but I continue to believe LBJ was involved.
A guy named Lee Harvey Oswald made 3 easy shots of 175, 240, and 265 feet and killed Kennedy.
Read how people in tests were able to make those shots for the most part.

From what she says her information has been vetted by experts.
I haven’t read anything about her, just what I heard on the radio interview.

I was surprised how close it was from that window. Heck, I coulda made that shot myself. I think Oswald did it alone but the gooberment just can’t stand the fact that a nothing nobody could bring down the most powerful man on earth.
Yep, on lowering taxes, saying, “A rising tide raises all boats.”
And yep again—his death gave us Robert Byrd’s soul-mate Lyndon Baines Johnson who got his war and boasted, “I’ll have those niggers voting Democrat for the next 200 years.” managing to screw us up at home and abroad much like the Dem in office now.
But JFK, a champ? Nope. He was weak, Nikita’s bitch, and we almost paid dearly. The U-2 incident, Bay of Pigs, Vienna, Cuba. I’ll never understand why Eisenhower denigrated Nixon. That and the Democrat vote stealing in Chicago and precinct 13 in Texas resulted in the Kennedy win and the stupid angst we still see today.
They used his brother’s death to pass the `68 gun grab law.
Sounds like a book to read alright. Will do. Otherwise, I have stated my views in the other thread here the other day.
