My Journey on Lincoln's Assassination

[RJNorton]

We're asked to believe that Stanton went to all this trouble in order to switch some deluded person for Booth ( I wonder what persuasion was used to induce Boyd to impersonate Booth?). Not only that , we have to believe that Stanton was willing to risk all this Machiavellian impersonation by unreliable fruitcakes would never come to light.

Michael....Edwin Stanton, his wife, and the Stantons' son, Edwin L. 'Ned' Stanton, were all invited to Robert Lincoln's wedding which took place on September 24, 1868.

Does anyone seriously think this would have happened had there been the slightest whiff/rumor in Washington that Stanton was involved in Lincoln's assassination?
