Hunt and his fake 'evidence' ties the Kennedy assassination into the Watergate scandals. Proves that there was a virulent right-wing out of control faction in our military intelligence career staff that was answerable to out of power non elected right wingers instead of the democratically elected President Kennedy and his administration.
When you talk about the 'position of the government', you're ignoring the fact that even Republican prez Eisenhower saw a threat to our democratic form of government from some parts of that government, in other words there wasn't one unified decision making chain of command.
