The version of the meeting that you are peddling is based solely on conspiracists glomming onto one sentence in the following paragraph and taking it completely out of context:

The Chief Justice then explained the role of the committee. He placed emphasis on the importance of quenching rumors, and precluding future speculation such as that which has surrounded the death of Lincoln. He emphasized that the Commission needed to determine the truth, whatever that might be.

Quenching rumors, arguille, not suppressing facts, and the proof that that's what he meant is the immediately following sentence, which conspiracists prefer to ignore. Warren apparently was of the same opinion as me that bullshit never did anyone any good, and in the previous paragraph, Warren gave one pragmatic example of why "quenching rumors" was important: One set of conspiracy theories blamed foreign governments of the conspiracy, which had the potential of leading to a war.
