The Warren Commission
Here are some articles in the JFK Assassination Questions section which deal with the Warren Commission:
Did Lee Harvey Oswald Get a Fair Trial?
Thanks to Jack Ruby, Oswald did not receive a trial of any sort. Nevertheless, the Warren Commission acted as prosecuting counsel, and the print and broadcast media declared Oswald guilty of killing President Kennedy all by himself.
Did Oswald Shoot at General Edwin Walker?
In April 1963 someone fired a bullet into the home of a retired general, Edwin Walker. No-one was identified at the time as the culprit, but after the assassination of JFK several months later, the FBI and later the Warren Commission named Oswald as the shooter.
Did Oswald Try to Kill Richard Nixon?
While under the control of the Secret Service and FBI, Marina Oswald claimed that her late husband had intended to shoot the former vice-president, Richard Nixon, during a visit to Dallas earlier in 1963. The story was so unlikely that even the Warren Commission felt unable to use it as evidence of Oswald’s murderous impluses.
Did the Warren Commission Investigate the JFK Assassination Properly?
The purpose of the Warren Commission was to make the best possible case that Oswald alone had killed President Kennedy. It performed its task well, and did not seriously consider any other solution to the assassination.

Was the Cover-Up Part of the Plot?
Oswald’s apparent links to the Soviet and Cuban regimes generated suspicions that those regimes were behind the assassination. Such suspicions in turn generated the need for the political establishment to settle upon the harmless notion that a lone nut, without any assistance, shot Kennedy.
What Did the Warren Commission Say about Jack Ruby?
The Warren Commission went out of its way to claim that Jack Ruby was not connected to organised crime, and that Ruby’s killing of Oswald was merely a patriotic reaction to the assassination of President Kennedy. The House Select Committee on Assassinations, however, compiled a 1000-page report on Ruby’s career as a gangster.
