Charles,
Your question may be too subtle for me, but this is how I see it:
I'm not sure the most powerful people in and around government openly asked the question ""If we go along with this cover-up of Cuban and Soviet complicity for the greater good, how and when will the guilty Cuban and Soviet parties be punished".
They were being told it was a lone nut by the President, Hoover and investigating authorities - "we have our man, no conspiracy" - from day one.
Were they going to call them liars at the height of the cold war?
Anyone who pondered a simplistic cover-up of "Cuban and Soviet complicity" were surely outside the real power circle anyway.
Those who knew the cover-up was of US intelligence complicity wouldn't ask your original question.
Are there not two groups here, divided by what they thought was being covered up?
And is it possible that the people you have put in the "Cuban and Soviet complicity" group were a bit smater than that and suspected something else? There were suspicions of an inside job from day one as well were there not?
The suspect list would have been a long one considering the number of people the Kennedys managed to upset in three years.
People in Government and power are generally not stupid and are usually deeply suspicous.
