Sincere question,

How did we go from 18 pages cut out of the diary that General Butler testifies to on the floor of the House of Representatives in 1867, (that you mentioned in post#30 Unwanted Facts), to the 86 missing pages in the 1977 FBI report on Booth's diary you mentioned in the post #1. What was Stanton and the military commission's purpose in supposedly removing those additional 68 pages, now that the assassination trial is over and Johnson's impeachment proceedings would soon be over?

If after Butler's testimony, Stanton removes those additional pages, it would have been noticed then. Wouldn't anything in that diary (the additional but not yet removed 68 pages) further relating to a grand conspiracy have come out at Johnson's Impeachment trial and possibly also Surratt's trial.
