(8,377 posts)I can't find any single source that digs into the allegiances. One thing that may be really surprising, especially to those who so vocally support the Warren theory of events is that the "commission" per se actually consisted of only 7 members. There was a lot of staff, but the panel was small.
Earl Warren, Chief Justice of the United States (chairman) (18911974)
Richard Russell, Jr. (D-Georgia), U.S. Senator, (18971971)
John Sherman Cooper (R-Kentucky), U.S. Senator (19011991)
Hale Boggs (D-Louisiana), U.S. Representative, House Majority Leader (19141973)
Gerald Ford (R-Michigan), U.S. Representative (later 38th President of the United States), House Minority Leader (1913-2006)
Allen Welsh Dulles, former Director of Central Intelligence and head of the Central Intelligence Agency (18931969)
John J. McCloy, former President of the World Bank (18951989)
I think we can be sure that Dulles would protect the CIA. And I note that the Democrats were both from Southern states. We know that Ford worked to override the autopsy findings of the shoulder wound in order to try to make the "magic bullet" work, so we can put him in the anti-Kennedy camp. I don't know about Warren himself. But everybody else I see on that commission was likely to be quite anti-Kennedy and pro-establishment.
