The theory is basically that a faction of the CIA/deep state set up Nixon because they disagreed with his operating a foreign policy that was independent of them.
That seems more plausible to me than the CIA directly and solely being responsible for killing JFK tbh. They’re bureaucratic and patriot-brained enough to “respect” domestic institutions which is why their black sites are off US soil, but domestic covert political ops are less insidious compared to assassinations
You don't think the CIA was directly involved with JFK?
I don’t believe they were the only players nor do I believe the multiple gunmen theory. I do think Oswald was a patsy, but he still pulled the trigger.
Well yes, they coordinated with the Mafia. The facts around Oswald are too odd for me.
