Because of JFK’s ties to Sam Giancana ties?.
Giancana got him elected and his brother went after the Mafia things didn’t go well after that.
Giancana’s book is a interesting read.
I’m aware that intel involves sifting through lots of info and data, some of it with higher reliability than others. Some of it may be of little value or even misleading. The purpose of intel products is to separate the wheat from the chaff, and the probable versus the possible or unlikely. In short, cogent analysis to assist decision makers.
These files have been concealed for 60 years. Over the intervening time pretty much everything you can think of has been speculated about. Its time to get to the bottom of this national mystery IMO so the country can learn and move forward.
But rest assured there are still people who would prefer to cover their tracks or conjure up excuses to keep the public from knowing things. I think you may not be aware of how DC works.
After the shot was fired which hit Kennedy in the throat and would almost certainly have resulted in his death. The limousine driver slammed on the brakes. The vehicle carrying Secret Service Agents directly behind with slammed on its brakes. The agent with the rifle who was standing up looking for the shooter lost his balance and the rifle discharged hitting Kennedy in the head.
Kennedy's brain contained particles from a frangible bullet that proved the origin of the head shot. The brain was stolen from the hospital to protect the Secret Service Agent from the repercussions of the accidental discharge.
This has been an “open secret” for many years. A forensic ballistics expert even managed to get a book published about it, and later there was a documentary about the book, but simple stupidity does not have the same allure as the more exotic theories. The coverup was largely to protect the reputation of the incompetent Secret Service detail assigned to Kennedy and the hapless idiot who finished him off by shooting him in the head. My wife had a close friend who worked at Bethesda Naval Hospital at the time. It was a three-ring circus with Secret Service agents swarming everywhere.
However, as we have learned from the recent President Trump assassination attempt there is the possibility that there was collusion between government agencies to leave an opening for a bad actor, or possibly worse.
PLMerite, are these the “Sources and Methods” that you feel need to continue to be covered up?

No, I mean Intelligence sources and methods, which is why I referenced Enigma/Ultra.

As usual, libertarians are relentless with sensational distortions regarding Pompeo.
Check post #83...
The James Files video is very persuasive imho.
It is long but worth watching when you have time for it:
Scroll down this thread and search for “confession”:
Yes, everyone involved in the plot is dead. But the Agencies still exist and have probably done far worse since then. They really, really don’t want to put under a microscope.
“...the rifle discharged hitting Kennedy in the head.”
The head shot on Kennedy came from lower right up to him and after the hit went slightly back and to the left of the vehicle over the lawn going up. His head jerked left and back. A shot from behind couldn’t have done that. Check the zapruder tapes. There was a drain there big enough to sit a couple of people side by side that was under construction and no one was checking it. Easy in and easy out.

So a new director comes on - a temporary assignment - and on day1 he’s briefed on every secret on the CIA’s history. - ok. I believe that.
He was Director for well over a year. Nobody said anything about him getting this information on the first day. One would also think that if the CIA Director asked for certain information, he would get it from his subordinates. You don’t know any more about what actually happened than I do, so stop pretending that you do know.
The deep state is a terrorist organization ?
You make yourself sound like an insider when the truth is more likely that you’re an 12 year old banging away at your mom’s computer keyboard in your room in Poughkeepsie
