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
I typed up a transcript of this and posted it on /r/cth once upon a time, but I heard a detailed and very believable story about the CIA's possible involvement, told by the usually silent producer at the end of an episode of Dr Gameshow, just on a weird tangent as he was saying goodbye to the hosts because he was moving to Alaska. The basic overview, iirc, was that his dad was a sharpshooter amongst other interesting skills, and he had a lot of same time, same place overlaps with Oswald, and he was also doing some work with some Cubans?
I might still have it buried in a folder somewhere on my laptop.
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.
