Anyone who thinks that Lyndon Johnson was going to be riding in an open car in the very motorcade in which the only man standing between him and the presidency was going to be assassinated by a cross fire and NOT TAKE CHARGE OF THAT EVENT has lost their grip on reality. As Billy Sol first explained to William Raymond, a French investigative reporter, and later repeated in his book, A TEXAS LEGEND, Lyndon even sent Cliff Carter, his chief administrative assistant to Dallas to make sure that all of the arrangements were in place to effect the transition of governance from JFK to him.
Couldn't these things also show us LBJ had advanced knowledge of the crime without him being the "mastermind" of the crime?
LBJ was a man who was linked to many murders so I don't doubt he had it in him to order this, but JFK was a just too big of a target for him to do this on his own word IMO. The removal of a president will effect many people in power as each person brings different things (and backers) to the office, and I can't see LBJ being able to remove JFK (and this severing the deals his father made with their backers) without consent of these powerful forces.
LBJ was crafty, but he was not of the "royal" stuff like JFK (I read recently all but one or two presidents have direct family ties to the monarchies of Europe) was so I would have to think he was approached and told to participate. He would get what he wanted (the presidency) and he would avoid the possibility of going to jail so why would he say no?
JFK's father (JPK) once said that 50 men run this country and even that number might be too high! These men decided it was time for JFK to go and LBJ was but one tool for them to utilize.
LBJ would say many times before he died that it was a conspiracy and he fingered the CIA as the doers of it. The CIA also is a tool of these men from what I have read over the years.
