Indeed, DA Henry Wade indicted LHO with murder "in the course of a Communist conspiracy." (not a separate offense from murder, even in Texas) Whereas the "plodders" - the WC, with their marching orders from LBJ and Hoover, are apparently doing everything they can to avoid a war. Which kinda sorta implies that there are 2 separate orchestras playing different sheet music.
That sounds exactly right, but the "plodders" task was made more difficult because of the three-fold cover-up that was required.
- Explaining that Ozzie was a Lone Nut,
- Tidying up an extremely messy biography of said Lone Nut, and
- Explaining that the Lone Nut had no USG ties, especially to the CIA or the FBI.
To me, at least, it speaks volumes that before Oswald was even charged Hoover was concentrating on Oswald's teen-aged employment in New Orleans and his elementary and junior high school records in NYC, New Orleans, and Ft. Worth. Wouldn't most people say those are pretty strange priorities? How 'bout looking for co-conspirators first and looking for elementary school records later?
