Trump signs order directing release of JFK assassination files
Source: The Hill
President Trump signed an executive order Thursday directing the release of federal government documents related to the assassinations of former President John F. Kennedy, former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.
The order directs the director of national intelligence and attorney general to present a plan within 15 days for the full and complete release of records relating to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
I have now determined that the continued redaction and withholding of information from records pertaining to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy is not consistent with the public interest and the release of these records is long overdue, the order states.
And although no Act of Congress directs the release of information pertaining to the assassinations of Senator Robert F. Kennedy and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., I have determined that the release of all records in the Federal Governments possession pertaining to each of those assassinations is also in the public interest, the order continues.

You don't think they would ever let that see the light of day, do you?

How about releasing the Epstein material, Motherfucker? You know the documentation and tapes that conclusively prove you rape underaged girls.

(261 posts)Yeah - and what about the assassinations of Garfield and Mckinley ( oh wait, washis name actually Dinali) ?. And what about the attempted assasinations of Ronald Reagan, of Teddy Roosevelt, of Franklin D Rooosevelt, and Gerald Ford (twice)? And what about the actual assassination of Cleveland Ohio mayor Cermak (sp ??). Why not release all records on these events as well ?
Polybius
(18,930 posts)As for the others, if there are any secret files, by all means release them too.

The only interests he's concerned with are his own. Full stop. And that's only thing he has ever been consistent about.

(1 post)Don't you see? He's aware of the murder plot, CIA, Organized crime, State dept. of 1963. This guy no longer is being directed to not give up the truth, instead will upset the entire apple cart with the truth if in fact the files are not corrupted. Trump needs to do this to get the heat off of his further attempt to kill our democracy. The need to invalidate the FBI as well as the CIA is what the plan is its clear as day, the smuck has got the goods. Lets see if he goes thru with it, I say do it lets start over put everything on the table once and for all. Civil war is right around the corner. Our democracy is in trouble take your heads out of the sand. The administartors may ring me up for this post, they have in the past, who ever vets this stuff is not underground thats for certain.

(3,967 posts)When they find out it was some right wingers setting up the assassinations.
Why would right wingers want these files released? Do they think it was some leftys that did any of these?
Just like when they wanted the 1/6 tapes released only to find out they weren't what tsf described as a peaceful beautiful day.
