You cannot successfuly kill a president unless you can control the subsequent investigation....

Sec. Steward killed Lincoln and controlled the investigation, his motive was simple, he wanted to punish the souht and Lincoln didn’t.

Those that wanted Cuba back, and the war on communism to continue removed JFK and whether anyone likes it or not, the one correct thing Oliver Stone ever did was his movie JFK.....we whom have investigated it know his film was produced to satisfy those who knew what happened and was designed to quiet them by giving them closure.

These are facts. That’s the reason I worry for Madame President...these people play for keeps and the people behind bowow would think nothing of killing 100 people in their way....

Good grief. Powell, a powerful former Confederate solder, battered Seward's son into unconsciousness, then slashed at Seward himself with a knife. Seward survived only because his neck brace (for a recent accident) prevented his throat from being cut. You can see the face scars in pictures of Seward.

Federal officials had very little protection in those days. It was rather easy for Booth's gang to reach and kill people.
