The Bureau probably felt
like it would raise questions about its own role, because it might open up
some cans of worms that they would not want
to have to deal with. It wasn't in their best interest to identify the true killers of Malcolm X. I don't think there's a question of government complicity
in Malcolm X's death. That the people who killed Malcolm were affiliated with the Nation of Islam is not in question. How those flames were fanned, how those tensions were exacerbated, or the role that federal powers that be played in this, I think is substantial

because it might open up
