What they are doing is approaching the 50th anniversary by first cleaning-up Johnson's involvement on the outside perimeter before going for the ballsy inner perimeter reaffirmation of the Warren Commission. Caro is calling Johnson a legislative genius on PBS in order not have to call him the complicit criminal accomplice he was. Once again the piece ends in a euphemism for the Assassination known as "the VietNam War".
