Robert Morrow has made a case for LBJ being the ultimate psychopath. I think he was one of the worst of the Presidents but not close to being the ultimate psychopath. Those who sponsored the operation in Dealey Plaza were worse, for starters.
But merely compiling a series of threads on that same repetitious theme doesn't justify the quantum leap from psychopath to assassination mastermind. Lyndon Johnson wasn't the only psychopath who wanted Kennedy dead. There were plenty of others who were equally if not more determined to remove Kennedy. Many of these were smarter, wealthier, more dangerous, more ruthless, more powerful and more experienced killers than Lyndon Johnson, bad as he was. Importantly, they wanted to remain in the shadows. If it all went badly wrong LBJ could be thrown to the mob. After all, they could prove he was a psychopath.
If one accepts the premise that LBJ masterminded the assassination, the role and significance of other parties, including its true sponsors, diminishes by comparison making their exposure even less likely. This is what they hoped would happen as time passed.
