JFK assassination files to be released TODAY: Tranche of documents about 1963 assassination will be made public by Biden administration - but some will remain sealed until next year
2021-12-15
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The files will be released by the National Archives at noon on Wednesday

  • They are among thousands that have been held back by the government since 1997, when a Congress review board completed its report

  • Many - including Kennedy's family - have called for them to be made public

  • Not all of the files will be released; the NSA is holding some back pending further review

  • The secrecy has fueled conspiracy theories about JFK's assassination

  • The President was killed in 1963 by Lee Harvey Oswald while riding in his motorcade in Dallas, Texas

  • Oswald denied shooting JFK in his interviews with police; he was killed two days later while being transported by police by a nightclub owner who shot him

  • Biden had promised to make the files public by October but he delayed, claiming COVID back logs stalled the release

As I remember hearing as a kid it was originally to have been 40 years.

But I guess the wrong people were still alive or in office. Either way 57 years later and we still will not see all the files. Many having likely been long erased, rewrote, pulled and/or stolen from the National Archives. Like has happen a lot under Clinton and others.

Note: Some might remember JFK was not for US Troops being in Vietnam. LBJ was the driving force.


BTW: My dad (Sgt. Major US Army Signal Corp) was there in 1960 "acting" as a Civilian.

2) Even Biden isn’t THAT old.

Because someone currently in the game would be embarrassed?

#1  I predict there is actually very little in the files worth anything but people will cherrypick to support their pet theories.
