Trump makes pledge on JFK files: 'I will release everything else'
MSN via Washington Examiner ^ | 05/15/2023 | Ryan King

Former President Donald Trump committed to releasing the outstanding archival records related to John F. Kennedy’s assassination should he win a second term.

"I released a lot, as you know. And I will release everything else," he told >the Messenger.

During his first term, Trump ordered thousands of JFK files released but kept thousands of others on hold amid concerns from the FBI and the CIA. The document dump was prompted by the 1992 Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act, which set 2017 as a deadline to release all classified material about Kennedy's assassination.

In 2018, Trump delayed the full release of the tranche of Kennedy documents until October 2021 amid national security concerns. President Joe Biden later postponed that until December 2022, citing the COVID-19 pandemic.

Libertarian commentator Judge Andrew Napolitano indicated in a podcast that Trump noted concerns that the public shouldn't gain access to some of the classified content. Trump sidestepped a question about whether that was the case.

So far, Biden has released multiple batches of JFK documents. This includes nearly 1,500 in 2021 and over 13,000 last December, comprising over 70% of records previously withheld from the public.

Nevertheless, critics contend there are many documents that remain. The Mary Ferrell Foundation, a nonprofit group, slapped Biden and the National Archives and Records Administration with a lawsuit last year, contending the delay from 2017 violated the Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act.

“He said Mexico would pay for it and was never specific”

Of course not as it was BS.

Judge NOT lest ye be judged… For the many they Hail Mary and seek indulgences.

Who is judging?

Your second sentence makes no sense.

When you’re in charge, take charge.

That would have been the political equivalent of the Bay of Pigs Invasion.

If he was that weak as president the first time, why do you think it’s gonna be any different the second time?

How was Trump weak? He even had members of his own party against him. And he still passed many of his objectives.

I think he can release them now. He probably has a copy of everything. Decree that he retroactively. Declassifies them.

(I know he can’t, but I can dream, can’t I?)

And why didnt he do it the first go around?

He just couldn't come out and do that, OK? Use your head. His main priorities was immigration, trade, and staying out of wars. Trump was being blocked everywhere. That's not going to happen in a 2nd term.

Did not - proof please

You are thinking in terms of Mexico cutting the U.S. a cashier's check or something. Mexico paid via the Remain in Mexico policy. That's the equivalent of paying for a wall because it kept the illegals there.

Yes they were, it was a frozen conflict since 2014 but still a conflict. The pro-agression supporters like to say Ukraine killed 10K between 2014 and 2022 via shelling. Sounds like war to me. Trump didnt call them up and in 24hrs make both sides implement the Minsk accords? Why not?

That's complete and utter horsefeces. Russia and Ukraine weren't in a kinetic conflict that they're in now. I am talking about actual warfare, not a NK/SK type situation. Also remember that Trump still gave Ukraine weapons and aid to counter a possible Russian attack.

That not my point. He said they were the knees bees. They are not.

If he didn't mandate that anyone take them, then your point is moot. He had an ulterior motive, the point was to stop the lockdowns, masks, and social distancing. By pushing the vaccines, Trump disrupted the Globalists' plans. We'd be eating bugs already if he hadn't done what he did.

Uh no. This is the last place to obtain holiness. Follow Christ to become more holy.

“Judge, if you saw what I saw, you would know why I can’t release them” Take it for what it’s worth.

It's worth a swimming pool of hot dog diarrhea. His stupid reasoning is EXACTLY why he should have released them, especially after it was clear they stole the election from him, and any MORON could guess that if they get away with the steal in 2020, there will be no m ore fair and free elections. (something most of FR apparently doesn't realize, either)

>>That’s just what we need to know in 2023... Who killed JFK... The real question is... Who cares?

Uh, the people working behind the scenes killing anyone and everyone that strays too far from the path they're leading us down care.

“Catholics... venerate Mary.”

I venerate some people. Never prayed to them, though. Never made statues of them.
