From all the material I have read the CIA are the people behind JFK's murder. They had motive, opportunity and the means to not only carry out but to cover up.
Oswald worked for the FBI under cover. J.E. Hoover wrote a memo on the day of JFK's murder that he had a meeting with a George Bush from the CIA and Hoover also stated in his memo (on that day - a full two days before Oswald was murdered) that Oswald was the 'lone gunman'. This verdict was dictated to Hoover via the CIA.
How could anyone in Washington on that day after a few short hours after Oswalds arrest come to that conclusion? There was no evidence and no trial.
The CIA is an institution, it does not have a motive, people do. LBJ disliked JFK (hated RFK), diametrically opposed JFK's policies, he had a maniacal urge to become President. Afterwards he hired Dulles, the guy who had been fired by JFK, for the investigation into JFK's death.
Who else benefitted significantly from the death was the country of Israel. JFK had imposed inspections on tehm to prevent nuclear proliferation. He also required their political arm, the American Zionist Council, to register. After JFK was gone, the inspection turned a blind eye (they got hundreds of nuclear weapons now), and the registration issue was dropped (they later renamed to AIPAC and are still today without registration).
It turns out LBJ was not jewish but was Zionist because of his aunt and his experience with WWII victims.
