“Warren Commission member Gerald Ford on the JFK assassination plot: “We made a very massive effort through the total cooperation of the federal investigating authorities and local authorities to interrogate everybody that we could find who allegedly had any information concerning Oswald’s appearance or the time that he spent in New Orleans." 


Gerald Ford was already the House Minority Leader by the time these interviews were done. And was put on the Warren Commission by President Lyndon Johnson because he was trusted by Congressional Democrats and Republicans and seen as a responsible, intelligent, Republican, who would seek the truth and not try to score political points from the investigation.

But looking back now, I think these conspiracy theories especially centering around Lee Harvey Oswald not being either the sole assassin, or the only person involved in the JFK assassination, doesn’t look so crazy fifty-years later. And I believe Jim Garrison looks like a more credible figure now. And that it looks possible, reasonable, that someone else long with Lee Harvey Oswald was behind the JFK assassination.
