Publisher: Ford claims CIA covered up Kennedy assassination
According to the publisher of a new book, who appeared on Fox News Wednesday morning, the last living words of former President Gerald Ford fingered the CIA in the orchestration a cover-up of Kennedy's assassination.

Ford, who died late last year, was the longest surviving member of the Warren Commission, which investigated Kennedy's assassination. The new book, "A Presidential Legacy and the Warren Commission," was written by Ford before his death, its publisher claims.

"This book, actually authored by Gerald Ford, finally proves once and for all that the CIA, our government, did destroy documents and cover-up many facts that day in Dallas," publisher Tim Miller told Fox & Friends Wednesday morning.

In the book, Ford argues that the CIA destroyed information about the assassination, but he "contends with interesting specificity that Oswald was the only shooter," Miller says.

"There was a conspiracy to kill John F. Kennedy," says Tim Miller, CEO of FlatSigned.com, in the release. "There is no doubt that President Gerald Ford knew more about the JFK death. There is no doubt President Clinton knows more. Has he or any other US President since November 22, 1963 ever swore under oath that they know no more?"

12. Poppy tried to make a final effort to seal the deal with Ford's "credibility"
now it seems as if Ford will ruin his own credibility from the grave. I guess maybe that's what Poppy was afraid of.

From Poppy Bush's eulogy of Gerald R. Ford:

"After a deluded gunman assassinated President Kennedy, our nation turned to Gerald Ford and a select handful of others to make sense of that madness. And the conspiracy theorists can say what they will, but the Warren Commission report will always have the final definitive say on this tragic matter. Why? Because Jerry Ford put his name on it and Jerry Ford’s word was always good."

2. President Clinton? Interesting specificity, there.
Fox and Friends?

What about the guy who's been in the White House almost eight years?

5. Rather odd to pull Clinton into it there, wasn't it?...
since this is FAUX we're talking about maybe it wasn't so odd though.

19. Yep, Clinton had a crack team of leftist guerrillas with black helicopters
Swarming all over Dallas that day, with stealth technology from the Russians, so he was the one who personally pulled the trigger to take out Kennedy. It's true!
Freddy Freepshit said so on the internets.

:sarcasm:

The scary thing is.... Those deluded dipshits would hear that, and immediately take it as written in the bible.

3. Well, there's another pResident who knows more than anybody
and that guy is the father of the current clown sullying by squatting in OUR White House. And he (Poopy) probably had something to do with it.

4. Too bad Ford didn't have the guts to tell the truth when he was alive..

13. Ford wrote this book just before he died? he was too ill to do it
and why not just spill his guts to that journalist who he gave all those tasty tidbits to and told him to publish after he died in that book "Tell them after I'm gone"?

17. Sounds like bullshit to me.
He wrote a book just before his death? Wasn't he in poor health for a long while before that? And it's a book that this no-name person talking on Fox News just happens to get?

I call bullshit.
