3rd Earl Russell of Kingston. The main reason for the secrecy was that the FBI had made some serious blunders in tracking Oswald before the assassination, and failed to apprehend him when he was involved in another attempted assassination, and no one thought this negated the single assassin theory so J. Edgar Hoover was able to keep the Bureau’s incompetence secret.
