Pretending that some long lost document will finally set the record straight is part of denying the reality.

Polls show 61% to 81% of Americans believe that the ambush of JFK and botched investigation resulted from coordination among multiple individuals. The fatal headshot as shown in the Zapruder film is so clearly coming from the front that all we had for 12 years (1963 to 1975) was Dan Rather's errant description saying that with the 5th shot, JFK's head "went forward with considerable violence." After the Zapruder film was released in 1975, polls peaked at 81% for conspiracy/ambush.

Oswald himself was likely a CIA asset since he had top security clearance and worked on the U2 flights.
