When I first found out about this event, that was my first thought of what it said
Short and sweet. Technically incriminating. Devastating.

In this context, "We know everything" would elicit more of a confused response. He'd look around the room for comfort and confirmation. Alternatively, he'd stare perplexed as the note passed. Slow to understand, bewildered. Confused. "What is 'everything?'"

Someone finally forced to confront the fact that'd he'd been lying to himself his entire life. And, subconsciously, he'd known he'd been lying to himself. And he had known the truth all along.

"I killed JFK."

I like that theory.
The intent of "They know everything" Was from Papa Bush's perspective.
