Whatever was found in the apartment was later used by General Dynamics to blackmail Kennedy into awarding them a $7 billion contract to design and build the "TFX" aircraft which later became the F-111.

Is this part fact, or fiction?
Several journalists speculated that Johnson and his friends in Texas had played a key role in obtaining the TFX contract for General Dynamics. (9) When "reporters discovered that the Continental National Bank of Fort Worth, was the principal money source for the General Dynamics plant" in October, 1963, Fred Korth was forced to resign as Secretary of the Navy. (10)
Johnson’s role in these events was confirmed when Don B. Reynolds testified in a secret session of the Senate Rules Committee. As Victor Lasky pointed out, Reynolds “spoke of the time Bobby Baker opened a satchel full of paper money which he said was a $100,000 payoff for Johnson for pushing through a $7billion TFX plane contract.” (11)

By no means meant to question the veracity of your hypothesis...
But by any chance could you reference your source? I'm just rather interested in this topic overall and would enjoy looking it up myself....

I can see a mop up crew being concerned about pillow talk becoming public accusations after JFK was taken out. You might have to track down alot of 'loose ends' to confirm this theory as there were many, many pillows being used. Secret recordings were popular commodities back then and some prophetic words in JFK's own voice might have been very explosive.

Yeah upon reading this it seems a little far fetched to me but then you think about the fact that they were at least four U.S. presidents in Texas around the time of JFK's Assassination. Then you say yeah I could maybe see this as being true.

Just reading the small Wikipedia post these
"coincidences" kind of just reach out and grab
you. The post never evens hints that there's
a JFK Assassination connection.
