LOL. Sure no one has suggested that.
Having a law degree from Yale University, one of the top law schools in the world, is nothing to
sneeze sneer not sneeze <g> at.
In any case, it's not the intellect it's the power and authority. Is Hoover going to be ordered to cover things up by Ford? Is the CIA? Justice Department? Hell, the Dallas Police Department? They'll just do it? Why? What happens if they say no? The "secret team" will kill them?
Who would have the sole power to control/direct/order all of done? In advance. Then carry it out. Then cover it up? What country do conspiracy believers think this was?
