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.

1990?
The CIA and the FBI have had 27 years to redact these documents.

The CIA and the FBI have had 27 years to redact these documents. You know, I think you have a good point there.
To: Rusty0604
I have no choice — today — but to accept those redaction's rather than allow potentially irreversible harm to our nation’s security. ”Tells you everything you need to know about who is really running the country.
Current US spooks still think they are calling the shots and until Trump starts slaughtering them, they do.

The CIA doesn’t even name names on their memorial wall until it’s clear. I’m sure that’s what it is at this point.

This is truly a Trump disappointment and a cave in to the swamp. Trump also said he would release everything on 9-11 which should be open to all citizens. Why should anything related to JFK or an attack on our country be kept secret?

No reason at all.

The first thing I thought was - So George H.W. Bush was involved. Everyone else is dead - actually I am not a JFK conspiracy expert but lets see
- Curtis LeMay - deceased
- Fidel Castro - deceased
- Sam Giancona (mobster dude) - deceased
- LBJ - deceased
- CIA - alive
- George H.W. Grab your Bush - alive barely
- Nikta going to bury you Kruschev - dead
- Ted Cruz's Dad - alive

Could you name that website or provide a link? I have read around ten or twelve different news websites so far today. If someone asked this question I was going to tell them I was too lazy but as soon as I post this reply I'll backtrack and try to find it. It may take a bit.

More than merely embarrassed. Look, I know your position because you broadcasted it at #54.
Apparently (Trump) has joined the swamp.

FBI and CIA are enemies of the Republic. It’s actually quite freeing that they’ve put their index fingers in their chests and said “Yep. That’s us.

Sometimes I wonder what Trump is going to do in retaliation against Cuba for that strange sonic attack on Americans a few weeks back. Hard to believe he would let that one go.

Why? Why withhold others? 50 years and what needs to be hidden? There is no reason to hide files from then. It they are not released, every conspiracy lives on and nothing has really been done. This is an absolute joke if the files are not released.
To: John W
Only possible reason would be intelligence assets still alive in Russia or Cuba.
Or methods of gathering information that could still have use today.
That’s the only reason to delay anything.
