"In fact, JFK's out of control sex life is a big reason John Kennedy was murdered. It was just the opening that allowed Lyndon Johnson and Sam Rayburn to BLACKMAIL Kennedy and FORCE LBJ on the ticket on the night of July 13, 1960 at the Democratic convention in Los Angeles."
I don't mean to "pile on" Mr. Morrow, but this is just not factual to anyone who knows anything about LBJ and Hoover. First of all, LBJ had more open to blackmail him with than JFK did! Remember "Box 13"? Remember how he got the nickname "Landslide Lyndon?"
Secondly, Hoover did not need LBJ to give him anything on JFK as he had been saving stuff for years dating back to JFK sleeping with the Nazi spy (Inga Arvad) so he could have done this himself to save his career and force JFK and RFK from making him retire. I saw one program once that claimed RFK went to Hoover for help with the Profumo affair that supposedly would show JFK was one of the men carrying on with Christine Keeler (who had ties to an alleged Russian spy -- mistress) and in exchange for help the Kennedys had to agree not to force him to retire. I would really love to learn if this is true because at the very least that reason can be removed from the discussion of why Hoover would have participated in the cover-up so thoroughly.
Finally, and most importantly, JFK belonged to a family that far outranked LBJ's background so to think he could outfox him and do this alone is just not correct in my mind. A family like the Rockefellers is another story.
