Explanation: Many conspiracy theories argue that the CIA had or let JFK get assassinated, in part, for saying he wanted to, “Splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the winds.” About a week ago, Trump has pushed to get all a list of all FBI agents that worked on the Jan 6 case in any manner in order to fire them. This includes high-level agents. More recently, the FBI announced that they found 2,400 new JFK assassination records.

    True story, I met an old, retired CIA spook at a wedding. Dude looked like Col. Sanders, down to having the white suit. So I asked him:

    “I don’t want you to tell me anything you’re not supposed to tell me, but when Kennedy got killed, what was the talk around the water cooler?”

    “Oh, hell, we all thought Johnson did it.”

    No pause, no thoughtful chin rubbing. “We all thought Johnson did it.”
