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.
All the agencies and people accused of being involved with a conspiracy were not connected, so how was this planned?
Hoover and FBI were behind it?
The CIA had Oswald as an employee?
The rich Texas oilmen profited?
The Dallas Police planted evidence?
The SS were relaxed with their security and stole the body?
The medical autopsy was a fraud?
Various private citizens lied, for what reason? Fame maybe, Fortune definitely not.
Whereas on the other hand if it's just Oswald, there is no need for any accusations, Oswald did it with a side helping of a little human incompetence which is to be expected with an investigation with so many hands involved. In fact having so many differing agencies would have kept everyone as honest as they possibly could be, because who knew who was looking over their shoulder!
