Thank you for the response.
The trouble LBJ was in would have likely sent him to prison. He was up to his scalp in corruption. Sound similar? He also enjoyed a very cozy relationship with his across-the-street-neighbor J. Edgar Hoover, and had formed some reciprocal, corrupt relationships in Texas where he began his quest for power. All his schemes for office (first the House, then the Senate, and then the shakedown of JFK to be appointed his running mate over whom JFK had already chosen) were dirty as hell. He was no stranger to fraud, blackmail, or murder. His guy, the one whose fingerprints were found on boxes in the sniper's nest on the 6th floor of the SBD, had been sent to prison earlier, but somehow LBJ got him out early. His name was Mac Wallace. LBJ got him a position in the Department of Agriculture after securing his release from prison. LBJ was so crafty, he used tax payer money and government posts to pay his own henchmen.
LBJ created so much trouble for JFK while serving as VP that Kennedy's Civil Rights agenda was thwarted because LBJ would line up opposition against JFK's initiatives to later use then for his own legacy while POTUS. He was a rat.
It was LBJ who escalated the Vietnam War into full combat and used "the draft" to send young Americans to suffer or die. JFK was planning to withdraw as soon as he won his second term.
