President Trump, give us the full story on the JFK assassination

Later this year — unless President Trump intervenes — the American people will get access to the last of thousands of secret government files about a turning point in the nation’s history: the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

The National Archives this week released several hundred of the documents, which come from CIA and FBI files, and of course, JFK researchers are scrambling to see whether they contain any new clues about the president’s murder. But many more documents remain under seal, awaiting release by this October, the 25-year deadline set by the 1992 Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act.

The law gives only one person — the president — the ability to stop the release from happening. He can act only if he certifies in writing that the documents would somehow endanger national security.

I didn’t need to read books to have been involved with people in Texas that wanted to get rid of Kennedy. But that is an interesting twist with Bush, huh? Thanks.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Nope. You are not alone

[A_Former_Democrat]

“Voice analysis” must prove it. Why else would Oswald, a married father, leave his job especially during a historic event outside, take a bus to South Dallas, get a gun and jacket from his house, and hightail it to a movie matinee. Yeah, that sure sounds like the behavior of an innocent “patsy”

Oh yeah, and killed a cop along the way. Or was that a multiple shooter conspiracy too?

all the evidence points to one man only..Oswald...the lefties just wanna say that JFK would have pulled out of vietnam....no proof of that either. Its always the last part of any JFK movie or book.

For the Warren Commission to be true, Oswald not only had to get three aimed shots off in a remarkably short time, but the shots had to result in two hits on a moving target. And this had to be accomplished using a misaligned rifle that had not been sighted in and adjusted with practice shots after being broken down and reassembled after it was brought into the Texas School Book Depository.

As it was, Oswald was regarded as a poor shot by Marines and others who saw him shoot for target practice. Over the years, no expert marksman has duplicated Oswald's supposed feat when tested under equivalent conditions. Repeated attempts to do so at Quantico failed, and famed Marine sniper Carlos Hathcock has been quoted as saying that “I don’t know how many times we tried it, but we couldn’t duplicate what the Warren Commission said Oswald did."

James Files was the actual shooter (one of several and the one who fired the kill shot). Look on YouTube for the interviews with him and see if you aren’t convinced.

It was a mob/CIA hit.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to see more info; but my 2 cents is, we know pretty much what Oswald did in Russia, in New Orleans and in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. There is no evidence, he met with some CIA heavies or mob figures. He had a chip on his shoulder. All that said, that death of George de Mohrenschildt is mysterious indeed, I know they say some of the other deaths we know of are as well, that woman journalist who was on What's my line and Mary Pinchot Meyer , mysterious like what we have in the present day with Seth Rich and some of these others.

[Bethaneidh]

Gonna say, “Like, Dude, I got other priorities.”

[SaveFerris]

LBJ was certainly a piece of work....

[ReaganGeneration2]

Back and to the left

[SanchoP]

When you tried to tie Billy Sol Estes into this mess you scorched your tin foil hat. Time for a rebuild.

[Vlad The Inhaler]

Democrats will block the release somehow.

Wait and see.

[Dog]

I agree....we don’t need that can opened.

[Textide]

I’m with you. Always liked the line that when people admire a guy and hold him up to be great, they cannot comprehend that such greatness can be brought down by one guy alone. It must be a conspiracy.

[Ticonderoga34]

Area 51. Isn’t that where Richard Nixon took Comedian Jackie Gleason, and showed him the dead Martians preserved in glass cages filled with formaldehyde? So goes the rumor anyway.

No, it was at some military base in Florida. Allegedly.

[Dr. Ursus]

So was Nixon- the gang was all there!

[MuttTheHoople]

I believe it was Communist Lee Harvey Oswald, using his Marine Corps training, that killed Kennedy.

I believe the conspiracy theories are there because the Left wants us to believe that Right Wing forces killed Kennedy...Kennedy was a hardcore anti-communist right-winger when it came to foreign policy.

[cgbg]

LBJ and his friends and family in the CIA, FBI, and organized crime.

Stone’s book is excellent and imho a significant contribution to the subject.

[cgbg]

Oswald was a patsy as he claimed.

For interesting reading (and new information on what the intelligence community was up to in the Kennedy years) take a peek at “Dr. Mary’s Monkey” by Edward T. Haslam

[SoCal Pubbie]

The elder Bush was in Dallas the day before, as advertised in the Dallas Morning News. He was campaigning for his a Senate run.

“At the actual time of the assassination, Bush was in Tyler...a man named Aubrey Irby-was with Bush at the time of Kennedy’s murder. Along with about a hundred other people. For Bush was about to give a luncheon speech at the Blackstone Hotel. He had just started when Irby told him what had happened. Bush called off the speech.”

The story about Bush not remembering comes from Kitty Kelley. Yet we know exactly where he was. It’s interesting how one mention of the assasination of JFK turns Free Reoublic into a version of DU if it was run by Alex Jones.
