Who has family deeply embedded in the current Bush administration, and to the campaign which is trying to defeat the Republicans in the Texas Governor's race.
I don't think his charges are about Texas politics. I read his book, he puts together a pretty convincing picture of a desperate LBJ who was about to be thrown off the ticket for '64. Johnson faced new questions over Bobby Baker, the Senate was reopening its investigation, which was killed after JFK was too.
Johnson was looking at the federal pen. He was backed into a political and legal corner, his only way out was to become president himself. The only way he could do that was to kill Kennedy. I think he did.
