You're preaching to the choir.
But I STRONGLY disagree that the quote from JEH you suggest -- or indeed, ANY Hoover quote -- belongs among our best proofs. Among other problems with such a decision: It would leave us open to the charge of cherry-picking endorsements from a man who more than likely was an accessory to the murder of JFK.
I could not endorse any presentation of "best evidence" for conspiracy that included Hoover statements or, for that matter, citation of holes in JFK's clothing as prima facie evidence of conspiracy.
Even though the latter may very well be prima facie evidence of conspiracy.
There are many considerations to take into account when selecting the best of the best evidence.
