Exactly. The timing of the assassination was dictated by the congressional investigation into Bobby Baker, and by association LBJ. That is absolutely no coincidence. The investigation was in session November 22, 1963. I believe they heard testimony about LBJ taking bribes. It never again convened after the new president was sworn in. The scandal was big enough to be featured on the cover of the November, 1963 Life magazine.
