But, why have the Warren Commission and not a Congressional Hearing in its place? At that time? Who knows what the outcome would've been like had one side of the House, the (Republicans) be in favor of invading Cuba, while on the other sides tension was of avoiding war.
The Warren Commission was the perfect fit to avoid all confrontations, and allow time to pass. The Commission was able to provide a substance like closure to all American's, or, at the very least, that was the plan while the Johnson administration was already faced with war, they wanted another war, and oust communism from 90 miles away from home. Johnson gave them their war, Vietnam, by recanting, or repeal the predecessors Executive Order, NSAM 263, this allowed two things to happen, one, avoid a possible retaliation with Russia had Cuba been invaded, and two, a continued war against communism, and if the Johnson administration could declare that peace can be won by war in Vietnam, than, the practical unanimity supported by the President, and Commission, in proving the accused, one man, Lee H. Oswald in the assassination, was in exchange for the sacrifice of a nation. That mantel, would be a lonely mantel for President Johnson, and President Johnson alone too bare, he had to do what he did, by forming the Warren Commission, or abdicate the role of leadership, which he did. Johnson would not run a second term.
Thank you!
