Ahhhhhhhhhhhh redaction..something the CIA and FBI love to do..redact redact redact
“There’s a mad scramble going on in the executive branch to get this done.”
Seriously? A last second mad scramble? They had 25 years to get ready!
Bastards !
It could not be any clearer they expected Poppy Bush to be long dead by this point.
This man must face trial and jury!
The FBI under Sessions is pretty much the same as it was under Holder.
Sessions is useless.
.
There’s a mad scramble going on
When you are a lawyer on the govts dime these things take time, for example almost 54 years in this case.
If you want to fan the flames of conspiracy theories... go ahead, redact away!
Nincompoops.
They’ve only had 50+ years to get these documents ready.
Last minute? They’ve had 25 years.
If the president releases the documents, what authority does anyone have to redact anything?
I cannot for the life of me understand how anything relating to this can be held back at this point. Our intelligence methods and staff have had a several-times-over complete turnover, and most of the assets involved in those days are dead. There’s nothing that needs hiding any longer at this point — good or bad.
Tells you everything you need to know about who is really running the country.
The government probably has about 2,000 salaried employees who have “worked” on the JFK files for decades. Releasing all the docs would mean no more “need” to keep these “civil servants” on the payroll.
This is the BIG STORY on CNN right now, because there’s nothing else going on. And if course, it’s Trump’s fault.
Scary state the USA is entered into.
The people are “out” and the Swamp creatures are “in”.
Only “they” are allowed to know and hear and see and consume at leisure the inner workings of our Republic.
Even 50 years later, “they” decide what the people who are rubes, after all shall be allowed to read. The Rubes...er,... the “people”, are too unsophisticated to be viewing our national documents.
My own personal take on it was that, based on what they thought they knew then, that JFK had to die. Simple, if wrong logic.
JFK had Addison’s disease.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addison%27s_disease
It creates a distinctive look to the skin that could be recognized by any physician familiar with it. At the time, the only effective treatment for it were cortisone injections.
However, at that time, the medical community thought that this much cortisone could make someone clinically paranoid and even violent. We now know that it does not, but that is what they thought at the time.
This had even entered the public mind because of a 1956 movie called “Bigger Than Life”, starring the very popular James Mason, at the peak of his career. It is about a normal man who has to take cortisone because of a strange medical condition. And it drive him homicidally insane.
A critic of the time described his performance as “chilling”.
So the simple math: JFK has Addison’s disease (you can even see his odd looking skin in black and white videos of his later speeches). The only treatment for it is lots of cortisone. And that much cortisone may very well drive the president insane.
A president who recently almost had a nuclear war because of the Cuban Missile Crisis. His “finger on the big red button.”
At the time, who *wouldn’t* think that if JFK refused to resign, which he had done several times before, that it might be necessary to remove him from office?
But what if I just buy black paper to run in the copier, wouldn't that be the same?
WHAT? We are government workers and need to follow the book on redaction!
It puts the CIA in a bad light?? The CIA???
Well, what wouldn’t put this hideous, bloated, enemy of the American people of an agency in a bad light?
I just listened to Sabastian Gorka jokingly say there will be headlines saying that this is a Trump coverup, and lo and behold, here is such a headline: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5022249/Trump-orders-NEW-JFK-coverup-delays-releasing-files.html
