There are plentiful documents about the Cuba connection with the CIA because of Operation Mongoose, the plot to assassinate Castro by "the anti-Castro group." The CIA was angry that Kennedy left their anti-Castro Cuban assets unprotected during the Bay of Pigs. And believe it or not, some of those same anti-Castro Cuban spooks were also connected to the break-in at the Watergate Hotel, a break-in that was ultimately used to frame Richard Nixon. Yes, really. //
So why has the information been hidden and redacted for so long? Robenalt believes both President Lyndon Johnson and FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover wanted to rush the Warren investigation to stop speculations about Oswald and the Soviets. They were concerned about triggering World War III.
"They were worried that it was going to be blamed on the Cubans; they were worried it would be blamed on the Russians, and they were not willing to risk nuclear war over all of this," he says. //

Much more likely, IMHO, was Johnson wanted to get the Warren Commission's "work" neatly packaged and wrapped up just in time for the '64 election. And it worked. //

“…there wasn't enough time for Oswald, armed with a bolt action rifle, ‘to shoot, load and shoot again…’”
I read about this years ago. If memory serves, Oswald fired three shots in about 11 seconds. Critics said it would take longer to shot three aimed shots. They concluded that Oswald fired two shots and another gunman fired the third.
The counter to this argument is to note the shot “clock” starts with the first shot. The shooter would then have 11 seconds to make two more aimed shots.
