Booth's Denial of Foreknowledge of the Attack on Seward

[GustD45]

Mike may see glaring inconsistencies in the official record, but after all the statements were taken from witnesses and victims and conspirators it became clear that J.W. Booth's targets were Lincoln, Johnson, and Seward. Decapitating the Union government doesn't seem so far fetched when we consider that Lafayette Foster could call a special election which would have delayed the end of the war as there would be no one to negotiate with or sign a treaty.
