Trump Orders 2,800 JFK Assassination Files Released, Withholds Others
npr.org ^ | October 26, 2017 | Brian Naylor

Posted on 10/26/2017 3:38:30 PM PDT by John W

President Trump has issued a memo to executive agencies ordering the release of 2,800 remaining records related to the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy.

The files are among the last to be released by the National Archives under a 1992 law that ordered the government to make all remaining documents pertaining to the assassination public. There has long been a trove of conspiracy theories surrounding Kennedy's death in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963, including doubts about whether assassin Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, as the Warren Commission determined in its report the following year.

Other files are being withheld due to what the White House says are national security, law enforcement and foreign policy concerns. The vast majority of what's being withheld is at the request of the FBI and CIA.

Apparently he has joined the swamp.

Oh sure, Trump joined the swamp! Right. It's always nice when the Cruz crew shows up.

I’m baffled.

He has stuck his neck out on many lesser things, so why not on this?

I’m guessing a lot of stuff about Cuba.

Bad guess. LBJ.

I was Trump when he stepped out of his elevator to announce his
run.
Trump is getting rolled by the same agencies that tried to take him out.

"Why would he withold any?"

It's a delay, not a permanent hold.

Thank you, the never Trump people go right to the CNN style sound bites as long as it sounds negative and or degrades Trump.

Uh huh

And now you're speculating Trump has joined the swamp. And what do you base that on?

Lou Dobbs is furious about this. He says people at the FBI and CIA should be fired including the heads he appointed. I agree. Those two agencies are being arrogant and trying to prove they are more powerful than the President.

Whatever they have in those terms is moot after fifty years. They are covering their agencies a$$.

Yea, I worry mostly about their kids and grandkids - Communist countries are NOTORIOUS for taking revenge on them.

For one. By law all files must be released by midnight tonight.

Second. The CIA and FBI have had years to object.

3rd. Trump announced all files would be released,
only to backtrack at last minute.

Chuck Barris only died a few months ago. It will take a while for the CIA to fully cover his tracks.

Seriously, though, some WWII documents are still classified, and the last WWI documents were only released in 2011 (assuming the government is telling the truth about that).

What does Cruz have to do with this? That’s ridiculous.

Hubby is PO’d about this, too. He doesn’t even follow this stuff as closely as we do, either. He’s mad.

I’m watching Dobbs, too. He is hot about this. I hope Pres. Trump is watching as well!

I see, so this is the reason you speculated Trump was joining the swamp?

Wow...

Why delay any???

I read on another news website the FBI and CIA requested a delay so they could redact some names of sources from part of the investigation that happened in 1990. They said they didn't want possible intel sources divulged.
