And just how long has the US government been in the business of covering up deaths?
Pretty much a long time. Point of fact it's a master of deception..
Except when they suffocate people and leave the pillow on their head.
They have done much worse.

Has anybody other than Guevera verified that Scalia's personal physician said he had chronic ailments?
If he was so sick, why was he traveling all over the place in recent days?
Chronic health issues don't stop you form travelling. It would be silly Guevera to just make this up, the doctor could easily refute it if it were not true.

It's true that governments often do despicable things in order to further an agenda, like kill their citizens.
The circumstances surrounding Scalia's passing are grist for the conspiracy theorists and I certainly would never be dismissive of an attempt to find the facts out.
So... give it all you got.

With someone this important there should have been an autopsy.

Apparently the current government is 'above' knocking people off.

Sure they have. You missed my point. The original statement was that the government was a "master of deception" when killing people.
Leaving a pillow on someone's head after presumably suffocating them hardly seems masterful.

Meanwhile, Guevara acknowledged that she pronounced Scalia dead by phone, without seeing his body. Instead, she spoke to law enforcement officials at the scene — who assured her “there were no signs of foul play” — and Scalia’s physician in Washington, who said that the 79-year-old justice suffered from a host of chronic conditions.
Does that seem normal to anyone?
And if he died of natural causes, making sure there is suspicion is very useful for keeping people in line.
No. There is a certain part of the population for which it takes no skill to convince of a conspiracy. The fact that he died is evidence enough for that certain part.
Masterful.

I probably would've removed the pillow as well...in haste to check on him...as Poindexter states.
That said...discovering a dead, extremely influential elderly man in bed with a pillow covering his face would immediately indicate possible foul play to me. My first thought would be to call police.
If there was a knife sticking out of his chest, would someone's first thought be to remove the knife?
Why not leave the pillow? It's not like an investigation or autopsy was ever going to happen.
The detail about the pillow wasn't just inadvertently provided to the media.
And, of course, that's the circular logic you always run into with these implausible conspiracy theories.
The conspiracy is miraculously airtight but when it's not it's because they're goofing on conspiracy theorists.

Clearly that detail was intended to be released publicly. Otherwise, Poindexter would never have included it. I think it sends the 'right' message to every person in a powerful position: "Next time, it could be you."

So, what's the message? The next guy who sits on the Supreme Court for thirty years making decisions they don't like might get knocked off by the CIA when he's finally 79 years old?

Head covered by pillow could indicate autoerotic asphyxiation

I’d imagine everyone would want such a scenario kept quiet, especially his family.

We've all seen the press 'goof on conspiracy theorists.' I didn't pull that out of thin air. And it's very effective at drowning them out.

Uh, no. I don't think the message is that specific, at all.

There would be suspicion no matter what. Autopsy or not. No matter how he died.
No. There is a certain part of the population for which it takes no skill to convince of a conspiracy. The fact that he died is evidence enough for that certain part.
Masterful.
