Does anyone have a theory as to what Richard Nixon was doing in Dallas at the time of the assassination? Sightseeing?
Lyndon B Johnson's mistress (Madeleine Duncan Brown) claimed in the TV documentary "The men who killed kennedy" (and in a few other interviews) that there was a secret meeting the day before the assassination in the home of Clint Murchison with the following people:
Lyndon B Johnson
Haroldson L. Hunt
J. Edgar Hoover
Clyde Tolson
John J. McCloy
Richard Nixon
(and maybe a few others) in which the final details of the assassination and coup d'etat were discussed.
4 years after Oliver Stone made the film JFK, he made a film about Richard Nixon (played by anthony hopkins) which was released in 1995.
In that film the above mentioned incident of November 1963 was a scene in that movie.
Here it is:
The film also talks about how during the watergate crisis of 1974 Nixon deliberately erased 18 and half minutes from a White House recording which the film implies contained Nixon talking about his role or knowledge of the assassination. The film is a biography of Nixon, but shows him obsessed with destroying Kennedy politically who he felt stole the election of 1960 right from him. So, in essence Nixon and Lyndon B Johnson both arranged to have the presidency between them one after another. In fact, Johnson only ran once for president and shocked everyone when he didn't run again in 1968.
The 1968 election then came down to the fight between Nixon and Robert Kennedy (JFK's brother). Robert Kennedy was assassinated in June 1968 while on the campaign trail, also in circumstances which have never been clarified....but thats for another thread.
