President Trump said Saturday morning he will allow the release of the classified files related to former President John F. Kennedy's assassination in 1963.
"Subject to the receipt of further information, I will be allowing, as President, the long blocked and classified JFK FILES to be opened," Trump tweeted.
Trump's announcement counters a report that predicted the president was likely going to block the release of some of the documents by the National Archives, which citing pressure from the CIA over possibly harmful national security information being revealed.
Still, White House spokesperson Lindsay Walters told Politico Magazine that the Trump administratioin was trying "to ensure that the maximum amount of data can be released to the public.
The deadline for the National Archives to release the 3,100 documents, primarily from the CIA and FBI, is Oct. 26. The date was established by the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992, which was signed into law by former President George H.W. Bush in an attempt to minimize conspiracy theories about Kennedy's death.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Rep. Walter Jones, R-N.C., led a group of bipartisan lawmakers urging Trump earlier this month to allow full access to the classified documents.
"Transparency in government is critical not only to ensuring accountability; it's also essential to understanding our nation's history," Grassley said in a statement. "The assassination of President Kennedy occurred at a pivotal time for our nation, and nearly 54 years later, we are still learning the details of how our government responded and what it may have known beforehand. Americans deserve a full picture of what happened that fateful day in November 1963. Shining a light on never-before-seen government records is essential to filling in these blank spaces in our history."
This stuff has been slated for release in this month, in this year, for decades, troll.
Maybe you guys at the GOP Briefing Room were unaware of this?
Good. More exposure of the deep-traitorous-state. Now go after the Uranium One gang.
Perhaps the surname Johnson will officially become the surname Blank? However I really can’t believe the release will reveal anything earthshaking either.
Not that I believe anything that has already been said.
Am I confused? Who isn’t ?
It is now impossible to read anything you post, and ignore your non-stop itching, whining and moaning. Congress is where 'amnesty' will come or not. Funding of that 'wall' will also be a function of Congress. You have no room to point a finger of 'drama' queen. Aside from that, President Trump has demonstrated he is quite capable of multitasking... Furthermore, I want to know what Congress, the SWAMP, has been hiding from US via their fully funded 'deep state'.
Very telling comment.
Add the Aswan family to the mix.
Or maybe he thought all the Castro’s would be dead and gone and their government fallen. I could see a scenario where Castro was behind this. Because Russia was complicit, the US didn’t want to look weak by not responding in the face of an overt act of war.
A bunch of confusion and blaming civil rights gobbledegook was the perfect excuse for doing nothing in response to Cuba’s actions...which could have kicked off an even bigger war with Russia.
That’s just my personal theory.
Worried that Daddy Cruz’s name may resurface in those 3,000 documents? Rest assured, It Will.
The Cruz name is already documented by the New Orleans Police Department (August ‘63) when he was taken in for questioning in relation to the FPFC group. He’s also on a list of material JFK witnesses but was “unavailable” as Cruz was in Canada (drilling for Arbusto Oil, or something of the sort, lol)
The document release requires President Trump’s signature, which takes about 3 seconds.
Revealing documents that implicate decades of rogue intelligence agencies and complicity and coverup by our politicos would be another Win for the people = another Trump Win. MAGA.
President Trump better triple his Private Security and the SS as well. I got a feeling this is gonna piss off a butt load of old schoolers...
he's opening a closet with more skeletons in it than the Roman Catacombs... 
He really is just “not blocking,” the release, per a 1992 law.
Before the election DJT said Daddy Cruz was seen with Oswald.
These classified documents are kept that way for one reason only, to cover-up government incompetence or worse.
9-11 is another example that should be totally unclassified. The coverups are what ends up giving us corruption.
“they deserve to know what the government has kept hidden from them for all these years,”
Anything the gov’t is hiding won’t be in those files.
Perhaps, as dangerous a political foe as that could be.
Likely also includes a message to Russia: "Between JFK and the uranium deal, I am learning your hands are very, very dirty and I am not afraid to call you out in public."
Anything that shows the possibility of a second gunman will be redacted. The truth will never come out. The Warren Comission is treated like the gospel of Jesus Christ. Nothing to see here, move along.
No wonder the DEEP STATE globalist co-conspirators have launched a crusade to label President Donald J Trump soul-less......he is their worst nightmare.
And, buying HIMSELF SOME LIFE INSURANCE by making the culprits of the JFK murder visible to the public.
What was PAPPY BUSH doing in Dallas that day, maybe archived CIA docs will help him remember? Federal indictments to follow?
