New JFK Record Dump Reveals President Lyndon Johnson Was Thinking to Replace AG Robert Kennedy Just 10 Days After JFK’s Assassination, Files Show Johnson Said NO to Independent Investigations of JFK’s Assassination

There are several accounts of the two bumping heads throughout the 1960s.
However, newly unclassified documents from the latest JFK file dump reveal just ten days after President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, the newly sworn-in Johnson “indicated that there should be some cabinet changes.”
While speaking about Cabinet changes, Johnson then proceeded to make reference to the Attorney General at the time Robert F. Kennedy.
President Johnson then switched tones and noted that he was waiting for Bobby Kennedy to decide what role, “if any,” he wished to obtain.

In other parts of the same unclassified file, Johnson turned down a request from the Department of Justice suggesting Johnson to allow an independent panel of lawyers and jurists to investigate Kennedy’s assassination.
It was reported Johnson even had “contempt” of the plan for independent investigators to get to the bottom of Kennedy’s assassination.
