In the sensational tapes recorded by the First Lady months after the President’s death, broadcast by ABC, Kennedy revealed her belief that Johnson and a cabal of Texas tycoons orchestrated the murder of her husband by gunman Lee Harvey Oswald. Kennedy, who later became Jackie Onassis, claimed that the Dallas murder was part of a larger conspiracy to allow Johnson to become American President in his own right.
Johnson, who served as a member of Congress, completed Kennedy’s term after the assassination and went on to be elected president. Leading historian Arthur Schlesinger Jnr recorded the tapes with Jackie Kennedy within months of her husband’s death. They have been stored in a sealed vault at the Kennedy Library inBoston after orders from Mrs. Kennedy that they would remain secret for 50 years after her death.
Years after her mother died from cancer, daughter Caroline has opted to release the tapes early. She has entered an agreement with the ABC network in the States who will air the tapes after agreeing to cancel their Kennedys drama series which upset Caroline and the Kennedy family.

I don't think she's the only one
Correction:
Jackie KNEW he killed her husband.
There was never any question about it for her and the family.
The family wouldn't leave it alone, so the elites had no choice but to murder his brother as well.
The Kennedys were not a very smart bunch.
A lot of people had a motive to kill this guy. The mob, Castro, LBJ, the Teamsters, etc. The same is true with his brother, Robert. I think the mob is the best guess but that doesn't rule out they had help from the other factions.
And since both JFK and RFK double-crossed certain people, the mob, and Teamsters, it could be argued they got what they deserved. That might be a bitter pill for some people to swallow but only because they don't know what they did behind closed doors or refuse to believe it. He was not all squeaky clean and angelic as some people view them.
The Warren commission probably concluded the exact same thing . So much for transparency on behalf of our benevolent overlords !
They did her a favor. It was a loveless marriage, but I'm sure she missed all the attention and glamour of being first lady, even though JFK was shaming her on a regular basis.
