20. Warren Commission

21. Warren Commission
President Johnson’s Commission to investigate the Assassination of President Kennedy
Several commission members took part only with extreme reluctance
Its 888-page final report was presented to President Johnson on September 24, 1964, and made public three days later.
Conclusion: Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the killing of Kennedy
The Commission's findings have since proven controversial 21

22. The Truth is Out There…
In 1979, the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) agreed with the Warren Commission that Oswald assassinated Kennedy, but found both the original FBI investigation and the Warren Commission Report to be seriously flawed.
The HSCA concluded that there were at least four shots fired, that there was a "high probability" that two gunmen fired at the President, and that it was probable that a conspiracy existed.
The HSCA stated that "the Warren Commission failed to investigate adequately the possibility of a conspiracy to assassinate the President." 22
