Shoe, a few years ago there was a 4 hour documentary called "The men who killed Kennedy" on this docu was a police lieutenant from Florida who's name was Everett Kay who explained that on the 9th november 63 he taped a conversation between FBI informant William Augustus Somerset and an extreme right wing, white supremisist type named Joseph Milteer, in this conversation Milteer spelled out EXACTLY how Kennedy would be killed.
1. It would be with high powered rifles from office buildings
2. It would be in a southern state (he gave a reason for why it would be a southern state but unfortunately it's impossible to tell what he says)
3. A patsy had been lined up to be "arrested within one hour of the assassination"
Thats exactly how it happened, and Hoover at best did nothing to prevent it from going ahead.
Within days after the 22nd nov Hoover told LBJ that he had conclusive proof that there was no conspiracy, Oswald was the lone gunman, (which is clearly nonsensical) and then for the remainder of his life he lied to the people of America, and to the world.
I would say that is proof enough of his complicity without the other reams of evidence.
