I just believe that it is more likely to have happened.

Well, you can believe what you like, but there is no evidence linking either Lincoln or Stanton to any plot to kill Confederate leaders.

In Kilpatrick's memoir, authored by Moore and published in 1865, he states the plan had the approbation of Lincoln and Stanton in all its details.
