The country's largest online source of JFK assassination records is suing President Joe Biden and the National Archives to force the federal government to release all remaining documents related to the most mysterious murder of a U.S. president nearly 60 years ago.
The Mary Ferrell Foundation filed the federal lawsuit Wednesday one year after Biden issued a memo postponing the release of a final trove of 16,000 records assembled under the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992, which Congress passed without opposition in response to Oliver Stone's Oscar-nominated film “JFK.”
The JFK records act, signed by President Bill Clinton, required that the documents be made public by Oct. 26, 2017, but President Donald Trump delayed the release and kicked the can to Biden, who critics say continued the policy of federal obfuscation that has existed since Kennedy was assassinated Nov. 22, 1963, in an open motorcade at Dealey Plaza in Dallas.
It’s high time that the government got its act together and obeyed the spirit and the letter of the law,” said the vice president of the nonpartisan Mary Ferrell Foundation, Jefferson Morley, an expert on the assassination and the CIA.
“This is about our history and our right to know it,” said Morley, the author of the JFK Facts blog.
Morley’s sentiment is shared by fellow historians, open government advocates and even some members of the Kennedy family, who usually don’t comment on the assassination.

Interesting. And I always suspected Jackie had some role in it due to his 2 timing (and 3 timing and 4 timing and...).
I know it was an easy shot by Oswald but I am now suspecting it was Marilyn Monroe’s former husband Joe DiMaggio that shot that 2 timing Kennedy.... : )
It fits as well as the other weirdo theories. A friend of DiMaggio was on a Yankee broadcast after Joe died and he said DiMaggio always hated the Kennedy brothers. Then the annual flowers on Monroes grave and that Joe never remarried. That’s evidence as good as the other loony theories.
LBJ had JFK killed.....No doubt in my mind.
Thank you for correcting the title of the book.
The book even concludes that there remains questions but it seemed quite thorough on the facts. As one gets to the end, George Hickey was the one person who could have discredited their theory.
With regards to Hickey’s lawsuits and an undisclosed settlement, that does not necessarily mean he did not fire the shot as the author theorized. What he had going for him was without JFK’s brain for frag analysis, there was no independent way to prove an AR-15 type bullet physically shattered JFK’s skull. What he had going against him was he would be compelled to testify in order to have a chance of winning his case. There is a picture of him holding an AR-15 at the relevant time. He would be compelled to discuss SS procedures of what happens to officers’ guns (count bullets?) after a shooting incident, even if their guns weren’t fired. Somehow the Warren Commission missed that. He would be pinned to his written statement. What he did not say at that time will become dangerous territory. There is no record that all the bullets in that gun were accounted for afterwards by someone not him. The discovery phase would have been brutal for him. And his very cantankerous and uncooperative buddies in the SS would be called too to testify under oath and be locked in on their statements as well. This would not be a typical defamation case .... SS would be on trial too. And I can guess they would claim everything was a confidential method and witness. Hell, when asked about whether the photo was an AR-15, the SS refused to answer (!). I would not be surprised if the SS encouraged him to try to settle even if Hickey was not the trigger man. Finally, if Hickey withdrew/settled after discovery, the book’s allegation would rightfully or wrongly get more credibility.
For me, the book makes the most plausible argument to date on the fatal head shot and the 2 gun theory. But it cannot be pulled “over the line” without some additional evidence. The key piece is JFK’s brain and “ho-hum” it went missing and there was no full scale investigation and publication of how that happened etc. With what Garland is currently doing to Trump at Mar Lago and presidential documents, one has to ask why was there not such zeal in the FIB or anywhere else in the givernment when JFK’s brain was “discovered” to be “missing”? I have resigned myself that we will never know the truth about JFK and what happened in Dallas.
“The Trump operation was the same thing, only they didn’t murder him.”
Yet.
I’ve heard that theory but haven’t invested any time reading anything more than headlines. Figured just another wacko theory. Any links with solid info?
That was my father’s opinion. LBJ being a crooked, sob.
“sources and methods”
This is about keeping sources and methods secure—since these are the same “sources and uses” they use today.
If the Deep State wants you dead they kill you.
That is the “national security” secret.
“I have resigned myself that we will never know the truth about JFK and what happened in Dallas.”
Yes, I agree; at least not in my lifetime.
LOL?? what is so funny?
Apparently the OP thought the Mar-a-Lago raid may have been conducted so the Feds could retrieve JFK assassination documents. I thought that claim was hysterical. Then someone comes along and asks what’s so funny? You got me laughing again.
What about documents pertaining to extraterrestrials? Maybe the feds retrieved those as well.
