Trump Orders 2,800 JFK Assassination Files Released, Withholds Others
npr.org ^ | October 26, 2017 | Brian Naylor

Posted on 10/26/2017 3:38:30 PM PDT by John W

President Trump has issued a memo to executive agencies ordering the release of 2,800 remaining records related to the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy.

The files are among the last to be released by the National Archives under a 1992 law that ordered the government to make all remaining documents pertaining to the assassination public. There has long been a trove of conspiracy theories surrounding Kennedy's death in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963, including doubts about whether assassin Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, as the Warren Commission determined in its report the following year.

Other files are being withheld due to what the White House says are national security, law enforcement and foreign policy concerns. The vast majority of what's being withheld is at the request of the FBI and CIA.

Is that a photo of George Bush in front of the depository?

Might be a reason not to release that.

How did Jack Ruby die?

But who knows? This must be the only crime in history where the crime files are not allowed to be released for more than half a century, even though the crime is “solved” and almost everyone involved is long since deceased.

But “national security” is involved.

Yeah, right...

“Why would he withold any?”

If they would endanger assets in Cuba, or their families, I’d be ok with withholding them. But I am only speculating.

“Today is the date set in law for this final release.”

We’re no longer a nation of laws.

I dunno, but I look forward to the documents being released. And the fact they decided to wait and sit on them for decades because of some Hollywood film, is BS.

Ace Reporter, Dorothy Kilgallen, was the only one to score an interview with Jack Ruby. Afterwards, she did not return to her home, but went straight to New Orleans. Why? Mark Shaw in his new book did good research on her officially-proclaimed “suicide”. She had tons of evidence, she said this was going to be the biggest story of her career.

I thought Judith Vary Baker said they injected him with the stuff she was working on, that induces cancer. Maybe I’m not remembering correctly though. She is still living, and has written about her involvement with LHO, and travels/lectures.

Apparently he has joined the swamp.
We were told there is nothing new to these files.
Apparently, there is new stuff.

Its possible... the assassination was 54 years ago, so an asset in their twenties at the time would now be in their 70's or early 80's. That's entirely possible.
