Biden delays release of JFK assassination records, blaming COVID-19 pandemic

The US will “unfortunately” continue to delay the public release of records related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and officials say the COVID-19 pandemic is to blame.

The move was announced in a memo signed by President Joe Biden and released by the White House Friday.

“Temporary continued postponement is necessary to protect against identifiable harm to the military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, or the conduct of foreign relations that is of such gravity that it outweighs the public interest in immediate disclosure,” Biden wrote.

In 1992, Congress ruled that “all Government records concerning the assassination of President John F. Kennedy . . . should be eventually disclosed to enable the public to become fully informed about the history surrounding the assassination,” the missive said.

The act allowed the government to postpone the release to “protect against an identifiable harm to the military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, or the conduct of foreign relations,” according to the memo.

This year, the National Archives and Records Administration ruled that “unfortunately, the pandemic has had a significant impact on the agencies,” and NARA needed additional time to research the material and “maximize the amount of information released,” the memo said.

The most sensitive information will now be released in December 2022 and material that has already been deemed “appropriate for release to the public,” will be dumped on Dec. 15 of this year.

I call BS. Biden could not possibly be that alert or articulate. As for plagiarizing, that may be the case here.

Wait a minute. The Covid non sequitur aside, why all the secrecy over a misfit ex-Marine who hated the president and took it upon himself to shoot him? What are the national security dangers in releasing these papers sixty years later? I don't get it.

It implicates Dems and we can’t have that out before midterms. Same old same old Dem hustle.

I find their pretext for delay to be pathetic.

Indeed.

I don't mean this completely literally but, in effect, they have a box of papers in a locked room right now. You can't go into that room. You can't look in that box. But (maybe) in December, they could bring that box out of the locked room and they could put the box on a counter and then anyone can look in the box.

They could do that.

But they are so short-handed right now due to COVID that no one can get the box out of the room and lift it on to a counter.

Uh huh.

the feds have had 50 years to redact this file

if it ever gets released, it won’t have a single word of truth in it

The never ending delays are proof enough alone that the Deep State did it.

We will never know the truth until the whole regime collapses, just like the citizens of the former East Germany did not know the truth and the extent of things until the regime collapsed and the documents were released.

It was a commie plot. The only question is foreign or domestic commies. Or some combination thereof. Possibly in conjunction with elements of the military-industrial complex.

Trump was going to release these records if I recall. But it didn’t happen.

so the federal agencies are so crippled that they can’t even pull a manila folder out of the file cabinet anymore, eh?

let’s hope this applies to the agencies of Oppression too (like AllTotallyFuqued and InfernalReprehensibleSuchers)

If the release would harm the military and intelligence ops, you can bet the farm that it would be on the front pages right now.

When the assassin was assassinated, you just knew this whole thing reeked like a 4 day old homicide scene.

I guess everyone is smart enough to vote, but too stupid to read the truth about Democrat politicians.
