LBJ insists upon being sworn in just hours after the JFK assassination.

The 36^th President of the United States (1963–1969), Lyndon Johnson is generally reckoned to have been the deeply involved with the JFK Assassination, and was named as such by the deathbed confession of CIA agent E. Howard Hunt.

President Kennedy was reluctant to choose LBJ as his vice president, but felt forced to select him as vice president.

Mark Gorton alleges that LBJ "had his own personal hit man, Mac Wallace, who had been killing people for a decade to keep LBJ’s crimes from being exposed."

Madeleine Duncan Brown's testimony

Lyndon Johnson's had a longtime mistress Madeleine Duncan Brown. She named LBJ as a key organiser of the JFK assassination, although her testimony is doubted by some, including JFK researcher Joan Mellen, who has stated that her evidence is unreliable and deceitful.

LBJ was famous for his powers of persuasion, dispensing them with what became known as "the Johnson Treatment." He used his imposing physical size and intimidating personality to emphasize his point.

LBJ used intentionally crass behavior to bend people to his will. At 6-ft., 3-in. tall and 210 lbs., he liked to lean over people, spitting, swearing, belching, or laughing in their faces. His favorite power ploy was dragging people into the bathroom with him—forcing them to continue their conversations with the president as he used the toilet.

Defecating as press criticism

Seymour Hersh, in his memoir Reporter tells an anecdote from one of Hersh’s older colleagues, Tom Wicker. He recounted the reaction of LBJ to a highly critical story about Vietnam he wrote in late 1965, when the war was still highly popular with the American public. Right after it was published, Wicker was at LBJ’s Texas ranch with a bunch of other reporters when the whole press corps was told to be at a remote spot at a certain time.

Right after they arrived, a big Lincoln convertible came screaming up to them at top speed. The driver–Johnson–slammed the car to a halt and yelled for Wicker to climb in. "Tom got into the car and the two of them sped off down a dusty dirt road. No words were spoken. After a moment or two, Johnson once again slammed on the brakes, wheeling to a halt near a stand of trees. Leaving the motor running, he climbed out, walked a few dozen feet toward the trees, stopped, pulled down his pants, and defecated, in full view. The President wiped himself with leaves and grass, pulled up his pants, climbed into the car, turned in around, and sped back to the press gathering. Once there, again the brakes were slammed on, and Tom was motioned out. All of this was done without a word being spoken."
