Reclaiming Misery aka Reclaiming History

What Hoover said in one sentence!

"The thing I am concerned about, and so is Mr. Katzenbach, is having something issued so we can convince the public that Oswald is the real assassin."

Correct.

Oswald was the real assassin and therefore, of course they wanted the public to know that.

Why would they be okay with the public believing someone other than Oswald (the real assassin) was responsible?

Use your head.

Unrelated to the point you were trying to make and my response to your attempt.

If Hoover was convinced of anything, it would be the importance of stalling in order to assuage public fears of a conspiracy pointing to a confrontation with Russia and WWIII

It was the height of the Cold War, FFS

Completely related to the point. They wanted to convince the public that Oswald is the real assassin before they had any reason at all to believe that.  The conclusion came before the investigation.

Thanks for admitting that Hoover didn't give a damn about who actually committed the crime.

That says that?  Better than a nuclear holocaust if so.

That seems to be your take on everything: Ignore the circumstances (the very real threat of WWW III should supported connections to Russia be found pointing to their possible culpabilty in the matter) in your zeal to somehow bolster your claim of Oswald's innocence. In the total abscence of rational thought, it seems to me.
