The 36th President of the United States (1963–1969), Lyndon Johnson is generally reckoned to have been the key instigator of the JFK Assassination, and was named as such by the deathbed confession of CIA agent E. Howard Hunt as well as being implacated by longtime mistress Madeleine Duncan Brown.[1][2][3]. He put together the Warren Commission charged with investigating the assassination.
Mark Gorton alleges that LBJ "had his own personal hit man, Mac Wallace, who had been killing people for a decade to keep LBJ’s crimes from being exposed."[4]

A Quote by Lyndon Johnson

|---|---|---|---|
| "Gulf of Tonkin Incident" | “OK. Here’s what we did. We [were] within their 12-mile limit, and that’s a matter that hasn’t been settled. But there have been some covert operations in that area that we have been carrying on – blowing up some bridges and things of that kind, roads, and so forth. So I imagine they wanted to put a stop to it. So they come out there and fire and we respond immediately with five-inch guns from the destroyer and with planes overhead. And we cripple them up – knock one of them out and cripple the other two. And then we go right back where we were with that destroyer [the Maddox], and with another one [the Turner Joy], plus plenty of planes standing by. And that’s where we are now.” | 3 August 1964 | Nuclear Risk |

| Freedom of Information Act | “It appears that Freedom of Information (hereinafter FOI) laws have never been loved by their parents. When US President Lyndon Johnson signed the world's first FOI Act into law in 1966, he was so keen not to be associated with it that – uniquely among modern Presidential enactions – there was no photographer present to capture the historic moment. It is fitting that Britain's Prime Minister Tony Blair, who gave the UK its own FOI Act, has since attempted to disassociate himself from the law he presented to the Queen for Royal Assent in 2000.” | Garrick Alder | 2017 |
