As I recall, Johnson was forced to ride with his rival Yarborough, though he tried to have his pal Connally ride with him and rival Yarborough with JFK. 2 birds with 1 stone?
Just a coincidence...:

LBJ may or may not have been involved, but his pre-motorcade attempts to rearrange the seating in the motorcade to put both of his rivals in the same car is evidence of foreknowledge. Could be a coincidence, too.

Martin White Wrote:I meant to write about this sooner. I had an interesting exchange on Twitter with a former British Minister about the JFK case.
Tony McNulty was a Minister in the Labour Government until 2010. The last post that I am aware of him holding was Police Minister.
He tweeted that he had read an article on LBJ, and commented that it was lazy journalism for the author to consider LBJ as synonymous with corruption. He said he considered himself a scholar of LBJ. I interjected that there were those that considered him implicated with a lot of things, including the death of JFK. He replied that it was ludicrous to consider that LBJ had anything to do with JFK's death. Whilst I respect those who express doubt that LBJ was involved, I think it's a bit strong to call that position "ludicrous".
I asked him who he thought had done the deed. I said I thought that the CIA had done it. His reply was interesting. LHO alone, he said, "at a push" including anti-Castro Cubans.
McNulty lost his seat in Parliament in 2010. I am assuming that he intends to run again next year, and you'd think he'd be after a Cabinet post again.
If McNulty is as widely read as he claims to be, then I find his LHO Lone Nut stance odd; until you consider his political ambitions and past.
It would be interesting to hear what Mr. Mc
Nuty has to say about the anti-Castro Cubans who he connects with LHO who BTW! He must have known they were CIA. Ugh!

All I have to say to Mr. McNuty is, three letters, one name, and two words. DRE, Carlos Quiroga, perhaps, Mr. McNuty should read up. If he reading this, please be informed that the MFF site is free for up to three (3) searches, than your locked out for a period of time, it is well worth the membership so you can continue reading, food for thought!

I always wondered about that seating arrangement. LBJ & Yarborough supposedly hated each other.

It would certainly be very interesting to get McNulty's take on the TMWKK episode which accused LBJ of arranging multiple murders including that of his own sister.
I fully agree that you don't have to accept that LBJ killed JFK in order to consider that LBJ was a corrupt SOB.
