My favorite CIA assassination was the Lumumba hit on January 17, 1961. This was three days before JFK inauguration.
It was the CIA’s inauguration gift to the new President.
JFK did not find out about it until a month later—that was when he realized that he did not run the country.
When LBJ was sworn in, was the office of POTUS still in the same position of semi-powerlessness?
