270. And certainly Johnson benefited.

I would have to see more evidence that Johnson had a personal involvement, but nobody should be surprised if that were the case. He was ruthless and ambitious enough to do that.

Kennedy had lots of enemies. There were a lot of people in the "dark establishment", if you will, that saw Kennedy as a real threat.

We know for certain that J Edgar Hoover viewed himself as above the President. He had no problem maintaining dossiers on everybody -- and using them if he felt challenged.

We have a very good picture of what the CIA/NSA grew up to be. Did it help them get what they wanted by having politicians believe that if they didn't cooperate they could be end up like JFK?

And that doesn't even scratch the surface of international affairs. Certainly Russia and Cuba could benefit from Kennedy's death.

Motives? Yeah. There were plenty.

It seems the only two actors in this play that DIDN'T have any real motive were Oswald and Ruby -- the exact two people that the Warren Commission fingered for everything. All those people with real motives? Nah. They didn't do anything.
