Lyndon Johnson involvement in JFK assassination

The LBJ involvement theory points to Johnson's well-documented hatred of Robert F Kennedy, his looming exposure in the Bobby Baker and Billie Sol Estes scandals which threatened to remove him from the 1964 ticket, his close ties to Texas oilmen Clint Murchison and HL Hunt, and his personal direction of the Warren Commission setup.

Key sources include LBJ's mistress Madeleine Brown, who claimed Johnson told her at a Murchison party the night before the assassination that 'after tomorrow those Kennedys will never embarrass me again', and the 2003 testimony of LBJ attorney Barr McClellan in 'Blood, Money and Power'.

Mainstream historians including Robert Caro have dismissed the LBJ-as-conspirator claim while documenting his immediate political benefit. Roger Stone's 2013 book 'The Man Who Killed Kennedy' revived the theory for a new audience.
