(55,745 posts)...that I've read anyway, I find what you wrote an odd thing to say.
What I will say is this:
If Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. comes out and says his father, then Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy believed President John F. Kennedy had been killed by a conspiracy, and I were President of the United States, I'd order a complete investigation in order to bring the guilty to justice. As part of my plan of action, I would go on television and ask the American people to report anything they witnessed, heard or knew, including the names of people who may know, or have known, anything about the case. I'd also personally interview ex-FBI agent Don Adams and ex-Secret Service agent Abraham Bolden.
Contrast that with what republican congressional candidate George Herbert Walker Bush (Generation III BFEE) did when he heard someone named "James Parrott" was going to shoot President Kennedy in Texas. Unfortunately, Poppy Bush phoned his tip to the FBI a half-hour after President Kennedy was dead.
Here's what Poppy said in his eulogy for Gerald Ford:
"After a deluded gunman assassinated President Kennedy, our nation turned to Gerald Ford and a select handful of others to make sense of that madness. And the conspiracy theorists can say what they will, but the Warren Commission report will always have the final definitive say on this tragic matter. Why? Because Jerry Ford put his name on it and Jerry Fords word was always good."
Few, if any, reporters in the Times or on the tee vee mentoned that Ford was the guy who pardoned the traitor Richard Nixon for all his crimes, etc. before there was even a trial to find out what he'd done. So, the Watergate indictments referred to Nixon as an "Unindicted Co-Conspirator." I wonder what else he was involved in? Same for Poppy and his Dim Son and all their connected loyalists.
Isn't the assassination of the progressive, liberal President something you'd want to investigate, while there's still a chance to interview a material witness? I know I would, especially were I president.
