Again, what do you mean by "set up"?
Did LBJ coordinate the logistics? Did he conceive the drama? Did he have the expertise to oversee the hit on the operational level?
Or are you suggesting that he set the plan in motion? That he was the authority from which all else was released?
Do you view LBJ as a Sponsor? A False Sponsor and/or Facilitator?
I'm not trying to be difficult, believe me. My own learning curve, steep and daunting, is far from being fully traversed.
Johnson was a hillbilly thug with a CEO's brain and a steroid addict's balls. To the real Sponsors of the hit, he was an expendable simpleton to be used and abused.
LBJ was danced through a pre-hit cotillion in which he was seduced into the plot, encouraged to think he was giving orders, and then, on the night before the Sponsors' Christmas, he was told how the real world worked.

Why did Senate Majority Leader LBJ accept the warm pitcher of piss VP job Charlie? As a Southerner he was unlikely to be elected President, which he was determined to be at any cost.
LBJ backer Senator Robert Kerr, of Kerr-McGee Oil Industries, was furious at LBJ's VP acceptance of the VP slot and reportedly slapped Bobby Baker when Baker told him. However, once the strategy was explained Kerr apologized & shook Baker's hand.
What was the strategy?
In 1963 Don B. Reynolds told the FBI that friend Bobby Baker said the "SOB" Kennedy would never live out his term & would "die a violent death," providing possible explanation for LBJ's otherwise puzzling acceptance of the VP slot.

Landslide Lyndon was a cowering wreck on the 22nd, and forever after he obeyed orders. The threat of exposure hung heavily over him, and he facilitated the cover-up out of fear.

Where did you get that info? From Talbot's book "Brothers"? Talbot, and anyone else who claims LBJ was a cowering wreck on the 22nd is wrong.
Look at the attached photos taken immediately before and after the murder. That is no cowering wreck. That is a smug conspirator looking forward to drop-kicking JFK's rocking chairs out of the white house.
