I think it's important to keep in mind that institutionally and politically, the WC couldn't possibly come to a different conclusion than the one Hoover had already leaked to everyone in D.C. and the press before the Commission was even formed - that Oswald alone was guilty. The press and most of the Establishment had already accepted that conclusion by the day of the funerals. As bad as the WC was, they were simply the cleanup crew, doing what they were expected to do.
