Lauren,
At the great risk of being redundant, here is how this MAY have worked:
President Kennedy is elected and is immediately indoctrinated into how things are run with the Bay of Pigs, a dual-purposed program run by boys who really run things.
A division of dis-trust is created between the President, his intelligence agencies and military. They don't trust the elected President enough to tell him the truth on key issues, and in turn President Kennedy quickly learns the information he receives from these guys isn't something he can ever truly count on.
Inside his own government he begins to look for people he can rely on, advisors he knows are on the same page as he is. No easy chore. Whenever possible the president circumvents these advisors whom he knows are not leveling with him.
Part of that is that he and his brother establish a back-channel of contact with the Soviet Union and later, Cuba. Direct communication they know is firsthand and truthful. Information they know, without doubt, they can trust.
None of this is ever a surprise to the national security apparatus. President Kennedy's every movement is monitored, from morning to night. They know how many daiquiris he has at lunch and the contents of every contact he has, both professional and personal.
When it becomes obvious to the "boys in the woodwork" that President Kennedy is not going to play ball, that he is seeking to re-shape the power structure inside the United States and around the world, and that he is smart enough and capable enough to get that done, it is decided he has to go. That is a decision made by (as Charles calls them) the "Sponsors" of Kennedy's murder.
But how is JFK's removal best achieved? It is decided the best course is get the entire machinery of "national security" (Facilitator) behind the murder, and the best way to do that is brand Kennedy as traitor who has committed acts of treason against his country.
James Angleton (Facilitator) begins to put together a complete profile of the back-channel contacts the President and his brother have over a six month period. Of course, Kennedy is not a communist or a traitor to his country, but he has a different agenda than does his own national security team. But, those back-channel logs make it appear otherwise. It is 'hard' evidence of betrayal that puts in motion the machinery that would lead to his death.
On the afternoon his brother is murdered, Bobby meets with John McCone and others from national security. There he is given evidence of this back-channel, complete with dates, times and content. He is told these are treasonous acts and that is why President Kennedy was killed. Inside this dossier is Bobby's own complicity in the back-channel, his own involvement. He may not agree with it, but it knows where it comes from and what it is saying: His brother committed treason and was executed for it.
Of course, this is all just working the puzzle.
