You really think that RFK would have thought there were more important national security issues at risk than the murder of his own brother, the sitting president? You really think if he had good reason to distrust the WCR due to good information he had proving a conspiracy in the death of his brother that he would have held back? Especially when he still held all the power in his hands that came with being the AG? What, he wanted to wait until AFTER he left that position of power to look into his brother's death?
Ridiculous.
Seems like you think of him the way many CTists think about JFK - a man who wanted us out of Nam but was too big a coward to act on his "true" convictions.
One needs to ask: what was there to admire about two such craven cowards as JFK & RFK?
I'm always amazed when people like yourself will nitpick every detail of the evidence in this case as laid out in the WCR, looking for something, ANYTHING that you can believe serves as a linchpin whose removal destroys a logical conclusion in the JFK killing, and who then turn around and proceed to stack up an edifice of supposition and conjecture ("may have had very good reasons" etc) that you imagine has equivalency to proofs offered through the actual evidence in the case.
It's the same false equivalency we see in the media these days with their "Rs and Ds do it" bull.
If you spent half the time examining the evidence in the case as you spend conjecturing about how this or that MIGHT have happened, you'd be better off.
