(9,314 posts)I believe there was a second shooter on the Grassy Knoll, and his name was Wallace. I believe the people who wanted Kennedy dead did not want to leave any opportunity for a failure of the mission. Oswald was considered to be not reliable, and so they covered their flanks with an additional assassin.
I believe there were a combination of people who wanted Kennedy out of the Oval Office. Johnson definitely wanted the seat for himself. His attorney Clark protected Johnson's interests. Listening to the coalition of the Big Oil guys in Texas and the war mongers in Washington, both of whom despised Kennedy, brought together a determination to remove Kennedy and install Johnson. I believe Clark organized the details of the plan and set Oswald up to take the fall for the rest involved.
