LBJ was one of the most corrupt democrat leaders of all time. As in the Clinton's saga, dead bodies followed LBJ all over the place while he evaded criminal charges due to deep state protections.

LBJ: Master of Deceit
August 20, 2020
It is a generally understood – if not well-known on a detailed level – part of LBJ’s “other legacy”: That through his highly skilled manipulative abilities, he had become the inventor of dozens of under-the-table frauds against the federal government (i.e. taxpayers). Most of them were so well-hidden that they were never exposed and adjudicated. But two of them made extensive national front-page news stories, ripe with insinuations of Lyndon Johnson’s clear and obvious involvement – but none of that was ever proven in a court of law. A dilemma that most “historians” thus avoid, like the plague. ...
Between April and August, 1962, hundreds of articles appeared in all of the national and local news media about the Billie Sol Estes scandal, one of many major scandals involving Lyndon Johnson. ...
This was in the middle of a six-month period (from late March to September, 1962), during which the Billie Sol Estes scandal had been covered on the front pages, at one time or another, in practically every newspaper in the country. So far, there had been mostly speculative charges, based upon telephone records showing that Estes had several conversations with Cliff Carter as well as an “unpublished” telephone number in Washington. No written communications between the two had been maintained. This was consistent with Johnson’s long-practiced dictum against such records on all of his most illegal, unethical or even merely outrageous actions. ...
As long as Johnson was still alive, after the murder of six people associated with the Estes frauds, Billie Sol knew that if he said anything that would incriminate Johnson, he would instantly become, according to his own words, a “dead man walking” who would literally become dead within 24 hours. ...
The Senate committee investigating this fraud was nearing their conclusion – and closing in on indictments – when JFK was assassinated and the new President Lyndon Johnson immediately forced the committee to disband.
