Why else would they have initiated the manipulation of the physical evidence and the scrubbing of Oswald's school, work and military records within 24 hours of the assassination in order to merge the multiple assets using the LHO identity into the guy that was actually in custody. Both LBJ and Hoover had to suspect, if they weren't already aware, that Oswald was being set up by someone connected to US intelligence, after learning that the photos and voice recordings of "Oswald" at the Soviet and Cuban embassies in Mexico City did not correspond to the person arrested in Dallas. They sure couldn't have believed the story about Soviet/Cuban involvement that they used to sell the cover up. Why would the Soviets or Cubans want to create a link between a guy they hired to kill Kennedy and visits to their embassies?
Well said!
To me, among many other things, this suggests that Hoover had prior knowledge of the plot, and did not simply lead the cover-up after LBJ demanded it. The FBI appeared to be a well-oiled machine under J. Edgar, but the speed with which he swept reality under the rug within hours of the hit was simply breathtaking and unnatural. What do you think?
