Caro on C-SPAN2 at the National Book Festival:

If you go to 38:40 Caro says he hasn't read McClellan but from his research he concluded Johnson had nothing to do with any conspiracy to kill JFK. However if you have a sharp ear you can hear Caro referring to the conspiracy as something that existed, just without LBJ as a member. In other words, Caro never says Kennedy was killed by Oswald so there was no conspiracy. The context and tone is clearly Caro saying Johnson was not a part of the conspiracy that killed Kennedy.
