Lifton on DiEugenio on JFK offering the Vice Presidential nomination to LBJ . . .
#77
Just more spin by the other Jim to scapegoat LBJ for what others, particularly Nixon, had done in Dallas.

As for who got LBJ to suspect that more than Oswald was involved in assassinating JFK, it is interesting to learn Hoover's certainty about Lee being the sole assassin simply evaporate, as Athony Summers wrote in The Secret Life of J. Edgar Hoover:

"Less than four hours after the shooting, Assistant Attorney General Norbert Schlei was astonished to hear the Director declare himself 'quite convinced that they had found the right party.' Yet called upon to brief the new head of state the next day, Edgar was less positive. Jotting down what Edgar told him, President Johnson wrote:

Evidence not strong...not strong enough to get conviction...." (p. 316)

What had happened to make the Director change his mind?

The publication of the half-page Algens photograph of LHO standing at the entrance of the TSBD just when the assassination was taking place on the first page of the WP's second section on November 23, 1963 - what even this Jim had said in Assassination Science, if true, would rule him out as a shooter, making his book just a collection of authoritative, false claims.

Case closed.
