The current day defenders say the Warren Commission (WC) was wrong in some areas, but their conclusion is RIGHT. IT was Lee Harvey Oswald (LHO) all alone shooting President John F. Kennedy (JFK) and Governor John B. Connally (JBC). NO questions asked. Case CLOSED.
Really? This would mean EVERY LEAD, EVERY POSSIBILITY, EVERY PERSON OF INTEREST (including the many who were detained or arrested on 11/22/63) were checked out, but this did NOT happen. We know this from years of research and comments by some who were involved in this case with the authorities, but NONE sums it up better, and more succinctly, than Dallas D.A. Henry Wade's comment made years after the event!

Quote on
Cliff Carter, President Johnson's aide, called me THREE TIMES from the White House that Friday night [the night of the assassination]. He said President Johnson felt any word of CONSPIRACY--some plot by foreign nations--to kill President Kennedy would shake our nation to its foundation. President Johnson was worried about some CONSPIRACY on the part of the Russians. Oswald had all sorts of connections and affections toward Castro's Cuba. It might be POSSIBLE TO PROVE A CONSPIRACY with Cuba. But it would be very hard to prove a conspiracy with Russia. Washington's word to me was that it would HURT FOREIGN RELATIONS IF I ALLEGED A CONSPIRACY--whether I could PROVE it or not. I would just charge Oswald with plain murder and go for the death penalty. So, I went down to the Police Department at City Hall to see Captain Fritz--to make sure the Dallas police DIDN'T INVOLVE ANY FOREIGN COUNTRY IN THE ASSASSINATION.(Emphasis mine)

WOW! This is a GROUND BREAKING REVELATION by Wade! And then the WC defenders claim someone would have talked by now! They have, many times, but the WC defenders, like the WC, are NOT listening.
Where to begin with this quote? Firstly, we see NO investigation was EVER MEANT to take place as Wade was called THREE TIMES on the night of the assassination to say DON'T INVOLVE ANY FOREIGN COUNTRY OR MENTION THE WORD CONSPIRACY! Talk about stopping the investigation before it got started, huh? Why was President Lyndon B. Johnson (LBJ) so worried about Wade mentioning a conspiracy when it seemed the case against LHO was "overwhelming" you might ask. This is why.

The Dallas Morning News of November 23, 1963, carried a story stating:
[District Attorney Henry] Wade said preliminary reports INDICATED MORE THAN ONE PERSON WAS INVOLVED in the shooting which brought death to the President and left Gov. John Connally wounded..."This is the most dastardly act I've ever heard about," Wade said. "EVERYONE who participated in this crime--anyone who helped plan it or furnished a weapon, knowing the purposes for which it was intended--IS GUILTY OF MURDER under Texas law. They ALL should go to the electric chair."(Emphasis mine)

So in order to SHUT Wade up and move the conclusion to one of a lone nut LBJ had his aide call him to covey the President's wishes. Does this seem like a honest way to investigate the murder of your President (or anyone really)? NOT to me. LBJ squashed the investigation BEFORE it could even get started, thus, he was involved in a cover-up as many have said.
The next thing of interest is the qualification of ONLY foreign countries being involved! This is suspicious too as there is NO way that on the night of the assassination LBJ could KNOW no one from OUR government was involved in the killing. In the book Brothers by David Talbot he mentions Robert F. Kennedy (RFK) calling John McCone saying ONE of your guys did it! Even if you believe LHO shot JFK alone the fact he was saying LHO was part of the CIA would mean he could have had help from them and other sources.
The two countries LBJ's aide mentioned, Cuba and Russia, were having great relations with JFK as he was trying to normalize things with them and move the world ahead, so this begs the question, why would either of them want him dead ONLY to have the WAR HAWK LBJ take over? They obviously wouldn't. This was a red herring in my mind to throw Wade and many others off the trail of the real culprits.
The comment about even "Washington told me to avoid alleging conspiracy as to "NOT hurt foreign relations" even IF I COULD PROVE IT! What does it say to the American people that a country had your President killed and you didn't go after them as to NOT hurt foreign relations with them? IT would show us we are weak of course and that is the LAST THING you would want in a "Cold War" situation. To me, this was further cover for the FACT LBJ knew the conspiracy was a DOMESTIC one and he did NOT want to agitate Russia, or any other country, with accusations since he knew they were NOT involved. These kind of statements are used by crafty liars like seasoned politicians. He knew when Wade heard this he would jump to protect the US's interest. The irony here is that the conspirators got away with this crime by using the strategy of "what's best for the country" after they just whacked the President. Clearly they had a different VISION of what's best for the country than many of us.
In essence he was conveying the notion that even IF YOU CAN PROVE A CONSPIRACY -- don't. Just drop it and blame LHO. And that is what happened from that point forward. IF Wade had taken LBJ's message at FACE VALUE he still had plenty of room to involve those from this country, but he knew the TRUE MEANING of the message and stuck with the persecution of LHO alone. That was a much better career choice for him.
Why the WC defenders defend what is so obviously bogus ONLY they can tell you, but we all know it is sham. People like Henry Wade, who was at the forefront of the investigation, made this clear years ago.
Many have talked, but some have chosen to either NOT listen, deny it, ignore it or lie about it, thus, the WC’s final conclusion is sunk.
