President Donald J. Trump announced via Twitter Saturday morning that he will release the long anticipated classified files surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Subject to the receipt of further information, I will be allowing, as President, the long blocked and classified JFK FILES to be opened.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 21, 2017
There are currently more than 3,000 classified documents in the National Archives regarding JFK’s death and the investigation into his killer, Lee Harvey Oswald.
25 years ago, Congress passed the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 which ordered the acting commander-in-chief to release all JFK files by October 26, 2017, barring any threat to national intelligence or security.
Phil Shenon is a Kennedy expert and has written a book on the Warren Commission, the committee tasked with Kennedy’s assassination investigation. Shenon told the Washington Post that “it’s great news that the president is focused on this and that he’s trying to demonstrate transparency. But the question remains whether he will open the library in full — every word in every document, as the law requires.”
Shenon goes on to note that such a move would infuriate “people at the CIA and elsewhere who are determined to keep at least some of the information secret, especially in documents created in the 1990s.”
Reports earlier this week claimed that Roger Stone, long time Trump ally, was lobbying the President to release the documents. Stone, an infowars.com contributor told the publication on Thursday that President Trump was all ears on releasing the highly intriguing documents.
“He was all ears,” Stone said. “The president believes in transparency… he believes in the public’s right to know.”
“I am optimistic that the president is going to do the right thing.”
Stone goes on to claim that the documents will show that Lee Harvey Oswald was trained by the CIA and acted on their commands.
“Now, a very good White House source – not the president – told me that CIA Director Mike Pompeo has been lobbying the president to furiously not to release these documents.”
“Why? Because I believe they show Oswald was trained, nurtured and put into place by the CIA.”
“It sheds very bad light on the Deep State, the very same characters trying to take down our president right now.”
Many have often speculated that Oswald was part of a larger group and did not act alone, as has been the official story since 1963, the year of Kennedy’s death. However, these theories are ust pure speculation.
As Jeff Crouere said earlier on Townhall.com, the only way for complete trust and transparency is for full release of the documents.
“The President needs to strike an important blow for openness and transparency in government and allow the American people the opportunity to learn the complete story about the Kennedy assassination. Hopefully, nothing will interfere with the online disclosure of all of the JFK documents.
President Trump is being encouraged by members of both parties to fully release the files. A powerful supporter of full disclosure is U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, who said “Americans deserve a full picture of what happened on that fateful day.” Finally, after 54 years, it is time for the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.”
Uh, no.

He can promise anything he wants, you do when you tell us how great the tax bill will be.
But if you believe the Warren Report it is no wonder you believe Tax Reform = Tax Cut.
“But if you believe the Warren Report “
The fact that you don’t makes you a mental midget prone to conspiracy theories. The low IQ crowd does that, hoping it makes them look smart. It doesn’t.
That would be impossible right?
Not to contradict the great Mark Twain, but President Trump (not president Hillary) refutes him.
Our votes counted this time, didn’t they?
I think LBJ smoked him so he could start the Vietnam War.
ObamaCare, Immigration, Wall, all still in question. We won a battle not the war but we have made a good start for sure.
Those money changers that occupy the deep state will hide for a while but they will never fade away unless the people change their hearts.
Link please?
I think there are missing frames from the Zapruder film that will prove that JFK committed suicide!
Who had the best view of the JFK ambush?
Union Pacific rail road workers Lee Bowers was the yard master in Dallas on that day. Lee got to work about 8am, and was watching the JFK motorcade approch him as he sat in his second story tower, watching the whole even with his 10x power binoculars.
Bowers saw Frank Sturgis, Howard Hunt and George Bush drive up behind the picket fence atop the grassy knoll. From his Union Pacific yard masters tower, Lee watched Sturgis and Hunt fire 5 shots into President Kennedy's throat and fore head. Bowers then saw Hunt, Sturgis & X run and jump aboard a special CIA train sent to Dallas from New Orleans & Miami, to pickup the 3 assassins and spirit them back to Miami. Mission accomplished.
But before the perfect assassination could finish, Bowers called the Dallas Police, who professionally arrested Hunt, Sturgis, & X. Then John Beers, the Dallas News photographer came over and began taking photos of the arrested CIA snipers and followed the arrest past the TSBD. In several of the photos you can see the wife of Hunt, Dorothy Hunt, a CIA supervisor of the whole assassination. You next see George HW Bush standing in front of the TSBD as he is being questioned by the brave Dallas Police, who dared to expose the CIA.
In all John Beers took 7 high quality photos of the 3 CIA assassins arrested, thanks to the keen eyes and quick thinking by Lee Bowers.
In 1992, journalist Mary La Fontaine discovered the November 22, 1963, arrest records that the Dallas Police Department had released in 1989, which named the three men as Gus W. Abrams, Harold Doyle, and John F. Gedney.[20] According to the arrest reports, the three men were "taken off a boxcar in the railroad yards right after President Kennedy was shot", detained as "investigative prisoners", described as unemployed and passing through Dallas, then released four days later.[20] An immediate search for the three men by the FBI and others was prompted by an article by Ray and Mary La Fontaine on the front page of the February 9, 1992, Houston Post.[20] Less than a month later, the FBI reported that Abrams was dead and that interviews with Gedney and Doyle revealed no new information about the assassination.[21] According to Doyle, the three men had spent the night before the assassination in a local homeless shelter where they showered and ate before heading back to the railyard.Wiki-whacked!
Uh, no no.
Actually, my posting source is just as credible as yours....perhaps even more.
Careful with that axe, Eugene.
A friend of mine, who dies recently, was a young Navy Seal assigned to the CIA as part of the Bay of Pigs invasion fiasco. He was waiting off shore of Cuba when the invasion was aborted by Kennedy and went back to Miami and then Washington, DC.
My friend says that the CIA killed Kennedy in a multi-actor assassination using an umbrella gun to shoot a flechette into Kennedy’s throat as the first shot from 15 feet away. The flechette was made of hard, dissolvable gelatin and contained a paralyzing agent. This caused Kennedy to grab his throat, but it made his body rigid, which allowed Oswald to have an easier target and would make it harder for the SS to push Kennedy to the floor of the limo.
Here is a link of the event that my friend said was pretty accurate:

For what it is worth....
You forgot Mr. "read my lips".
Kennedy wore a back brace for years as a result of a back injury he suffered in college. The injury was further exacerbated on the night of Aug. 1, 1943 when his PT boat, the 109 was rammed by the Japanese destroyer “Amagiri’’ and Kennedy was slammed against the wheelhouse. Kennedy also suffered from Addison’s disease.
There isn't an hour of it. Johann Rush filmed Oswald in the hallway of the studio when Oswald came in to be on the radio program. It was just a few minutes of him standing there.
"You obviously haven’t read Oswald’s statement about his time in the Soviet Union. It’s in the Warren Report. Read it and I think you’ll be surprised: other than a couple of misspellings, Oswald seems intelligent and articulate and not at all sympathetic to the Soviets."
The socialist paradise didn't live up to his expectations. That shouldn't be a surprise. But it's got nothing to do with him being some kind of intelligence agent.
"The socialist paradise didn't live up to his expectations. That shouldn't be a surprise. But it's got nothing to do with him being some kind of intelligence agent. "
Methinks that you've never been in the business - so let's try a little exercise in logic: if he was unenthusiastic about the joys of the Worker's Paradise, why would he bother writing a long and descriptive and sardonic account of his experiences? Who was he writing this story for? Saturday Evening Post? His wife Marina?
Why would he allegedly continue to support the Soviets after such disillusionment?
It's a Contact Report and a pretty good one.
Add that to how readily he got permission to regain his citizenship, got to bring the 'ol Soviet missus, and even plane fare and expenses home and you've got ask yourself how wonderfully lucky he really was.
Except, of course for when they shot him.
I'm not. The movie JFK depicted it as a film, because hey, it's a movie. But it was only a radio interview.
