    Accidental discharge by a hungover secret servicemen is actually a reasonably plausible scenario from what I’ve read, and yes, you’re spot-on.

    The current secret service also investigates financial crimes, which is politically unwise under an avowed financial crook president.

      God, can you imagine killing JFK by accident and having to sit on that secret forever because the FBI doesn’t want to get a bad reputation?

      Yeah, this is the theory that I’ve held since seeing a documentary investigating the whole incident. And for the life of me I cannot recall the name.

      I find it far easier to believe the CIA would scramble to cover up a colossal fuck-up over any shadowy conspiracy of assassination. Incompetence is more reliable than competence, in a way.
