Does this mean we get to see more JFK specials on C-Span and PBS?

I've always thought Johnson set him up.

I have believed it was LBJ since the 1970s.
I saw a documentary which quoted LBJ's mistress (at the time) who stated that he told her--two weeks before the assassination--"Those Kennedies will never s**t on me again," or words to that effect.

I've been out. Did Dan Rather breathlessly devote his program to charts and graphs proving Gerald Posner (Case Closed) is right? With the 40th anniv. coming, we can expect more books, and Dan's breathless special.

"(Johnson) had the motive, opportunity and means," That much has been obvious to anyone who has thought much about the matter. It might be interesting to see how he tries to back it up.
I have to admit that the motive, opportunity, and means of Johnson always made me wonder if he was involved. He certainly had the ethics and morals for it.

It wouldn't surprise me if lbj was involved. I remember theories floating at the time that sounded plausible to me.

Boris, I'm old enough to remember the Kennedy assassination. I was convinced right from the beginnning that LBJ was involved in it.
He had been chosen by JFK as his Vice-President because of his power in the Senate (where he had held sway as Majority Leader). I think JFK oiled him up and convinced him he'd be even more powerful as VP. Once JFK was in the WH, however, LBJ realized that he'd been used. LBJ was a vengeful man who had come up in the rough and tumble Texas politics of the late 40's and 50's.
I don't know if we'll ever know the truth in our lifetime, but future generations will know the truth.

Let us try to list all of those that might have been involved in the hit ... FBI, CIA, Castro, Russians, Corsican mob, Mossad, Chicago mob, New Orleans mob, Teamsters, LBJ, Nixon, Bush (PHEW!)
Let's do this the easy way. Let's figure out who was NOT involved ... every Irish Catholic woman in America.
Get the point!
To: new cruelty
I believe it.
Johnson was a ruthless and power mad politician with a psycho ego. He routinely crushed and ruined his opponents in business, politics and law.
He should be dug up and hung.

My brother worked in D.C. at the time of the assassination. He tells me that the Inside the Beltway gossip at the time was that LBJ was behind the assassination.
To: new cruelty
This is preposterous. LBJ was ruthless enough to do whatever he thought best, but he wasn't stupid enough to point at himself by doing it in Texas. He would have had it done if he was gonna do it on the East or West Coast.
This twits sons are either going to have to explicitly disavow their father or resign from office, cause there is gonna be a shitstorm over this.

Interesting, I will read the book just like I have read all of the others and see what he has to say. I have heard rumors about LBJ over the years, and know that he was a pretty dirty politican, and that is about all I know about him.

This is why no DemocRAT would ever have Hillary as VP on his ticket.

You're assuming the administration would object to this book. How do you know it isn't meant as a warning of what other RAT misdeeds might be revealed if the RATs are excessively uncooperative?
To: new cruelty
I'm old enough to remember JFK's assassination in Dallas ... it was a watershed event for "baby boomers" not unlike Pearl Harbor for our parents. LBJ was not involved in any way shape or form in Kennedy's assassination ... this is pure bunk!
