So, here you are taking up for Hoover, saying he had "legitimate reasons to convince the public that Oswald was guilty."
And the first reason is "because he [Oswald] WAS guilty. He did it. The evidence leaves no doubt."
Do you really think Hoover had all the evidence within ONE DAY to justify condemning Oswald? And that Hoover knew from the evidence he did it, and there was "no doubt?"
It's people who rush to judgment like this who are a threat to national security.
No... you've got the narrative wrong. Hoover was not trying to protect the US... He was most likely trying to protect himself and his cronies from being exposed.
To hell with justice, let Oswald be condemned.
The Dallas PD had enough evidence within 24 hours to charge Oswald with the crime. The basic evidence is unchanged 60 years later. Oswald did it.
