55. There are disturbing facts about the assassination an exhumation could not explain
At this point in time, people are pretty entrenched with their own conclusions about the Kennedy assassination. I believe at some point in the future, the American people will learn the truth, but it will not be in most of our lifetimes. Jackie Kennedy did not believe the Warren Commission Report. She commissioned the French to conduct a private investigation, and to release the report only to her. At the time, the French were considered to be the best investigatory personnel in the world. She hired a private agency, and said the report could only be released to the public 50 years (I believe) following her death. (There was a 50 year deadline and I believe the clock starting clicking upon her death, but it has been some time since I read about this so I stand to be corrected.) I do remember thinking with sadness I would not live to see the release of this report.

Sometime thereafter, I submitted a thread to DU (link below), three paragraphs of which I have included beyond the link. I personally believe a number of people conspired in his death.

"Once one learns of LBJ's total history, he or she will no longer disallow the possibility it was within his makeup to eliminate a President of the United States. One of the most compelling motives was his literal hatred of the Kennedy family and the fact he was facing almost immediate indictment over his dealings with the corrupt practices of Billy Sol Estes and Bobby Baker. An ascendancy to the Presidency would protect him from prosecution, so Johnson felt.

"Johnson was the subject of a Grand Jury investigation in 1984. The Order in the case directly stated that he (Johnson) was one of the suspects in a murder, but that no further action could be taken since he was deceased. "Based on the testimony presented today, which was not presented to the previous grand jury, it is the decision of this grand jury, that Henry H. Marshall's death was a homicide, not a suicide. That the parties named as participants in the offense are deceased, and therefore it is not possible for the grand jury to return an indictment." This is a literal document presented in the back of the book referenced in the subject line as grand jury action on Johnson. It is the author's assertion that LBJ had to eliminate Henry H. Marshall, who was a participant in the assassination of President Kennedy, and here is the author's description of this exhibit (also pictured):

"30--Johnson subject to indictment for murder
Thirteen years after Marshall's vicious murder, the grand jury again reviewed the case and concluded it was not suicide but murder. Estes and Texas Ranger Clint People provided the key evidence. Johnson could not be indicted because he was dead. Cliff Carter and Mac Wallace also escaped indictment because they, too were dead." (at page 320)
