This is our second episode covering Lyndon Johnson himself and selected parts of his own background. In today's episode (which is  part 2 of a two-part mini-series covering this event), we conclude the telling of the story of the stolen Democratic primary run off race in 1948 that occurred in Texas. The Box 13 scandal is a classic and blatant voter fraud case that propelled Lyndon Johnson ultimately to the Senate. And it revealed, on a national basis, the unbridled ambition of this man who would take outrageous and illegal actions to secure victory in the senate runoff. It was not the first time that Johnson had shown a major character flaw, but never before  had it reached this scale. And without this pivotal moment, Johnson would never have acceded ultimately to the presidency as he did. And so, the ultimate question in our quest for the truth is whether this event (along with the larger and related chain of events which came after as a result)...ultimately led to the assassination of President Kennedy. 

Rumors of Johnson's involvement began to swirl almost immediately after the President's assassination and there is a defined school of thought within the JFK assassination research community that staunchly believes in Johnson's involvement. His involvement  in both the assassination and its cover up. Join us in one of the most fascinating story tells of the Kennedy assassination and stick around as we will be returning to the Mexico City series right after we complete this min-series that was spawned by the recent release of the Billy Sol Estes and Cliff Carter tape that the two recorded in 1971. Folks, you just can't write this stuff. 

Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over  the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it,  were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This  real-life story is more fascinating than fiction.  No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as  we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.
