Trump signs order directing release of JFK assassination files

[NYC Liberal]

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 Government’s possession pertaining to each of those assassinations is also in the public interest,” the order continues.

1. Glad he's seeing to pressing, urgent business!

[live love laugh]

26. Yep from 60 years ago no less.

[Raven123]

2. Now sign one releasing the Mueller, J6 and Jack Smith reports

Far more relevant

[Miguelito Loveless]

53. Unless leaked

those reports will be destroyed.

[Lulu KC]

54. Yes--where's a good leak when we need it?

I keep hoping.

[republianmushroom]

3. How about doing that to the Muller report ?

Merrick the Meek didn't, guess, to political, nor did he release all of Smiths report.

[DavidDvorkin]

4. This one I'm in favor of.

[sagetea]

8. Same. n/t

sage

[hueymahl]

28. Me too

Even a stopped clock …

[LiberalArkie]

5. I wonder when he will release the information of when God did a miracle on DJT and healed his ear?

[Evolve Dammit]

33. within days?? "I'm a quick healer." Yeah right....

[Silent Type]

6. Not earth shattering as far as our lives are concerned, but I'd like to see that info before I die. Doubt there is much

we don't know, though.

[John1956PA]

9. I read that the Secret Service files have long ago disappeared. n/t

[lastlib]

55. Of course they have--the SS is the gang that shot him.

Google "JFK the smoking gun." After Oswald fired his shots, an agent jumped out of their car, accidentally discharging his rifle, firing the fatal shot.

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

[JohnSJ]

7. An absolute distraction, that the stupidity of the American people and press will fall for.

[sagetea]

12. naww..

I disagree. I would like to know. I'm not stupid so it won't distract me.


sage

[JohnSJ]

15. It is a distraction from the draconian authoritarian EO.

[rampartd]

23. i am an assassination nut but

how can i believe anything trump releases?

the warren commission is more credible than dear leader, and that ain't saying much

[sagetea]

27. Ok, thanks

I didn't think about that!


sage

[JohnSJ]

30. All I am saying is that the sociopath is using it to distract people from his agenda, not arguing about the release of

the files.

[Polybius]

44. I doubt he can change words, so there's nothing to believe or not

He's just releasing what was classified for 60 years.

[rampartd]

48. he has people to create his own reality

of course he can release files that look 60 years old.

[Autumn]

25. Many of us can pay attention to a lot of things at the same time.

It's called multitasking. Women for trhe most part are very good at it.

[Oneear]

10. History and for some Reason the Federal Government did not want to tell All

Once it passes through some more Hoops, what we will have to read should be interesting with a Glass of Water.

[tirebiter]

11. Has the price off eggs changed as a result of this?

[Aviation Pro]

13. John, Bobby and Martin

Were murdered more than a half a century ago. This will add nothing to the history of the nation in the eyes of GenX, Millenials or GenZ, who weren’t even born when it happened.

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

[hamsterjill]

22. It's all to appease the QAnons.

They still think JFK, Sr. (Yes, that’s “SENIOR”) is still alive.

[dweller]

14. Wonder if

He’ll have rewritten them to suit his agenda
🤔



✌🏻

[rampartd]

24. bingo

maybe written to confirm or muddle some q anon nonsense.

[J_William_Ryan]

16. More ham-fisted political theater from Trump.

This is a pathetic, desperate attempt by Trump to garner some sort of approval and deflect from his current and future failures.

There’s an emotionally disabled child in the WH.

[stillcool]

17. I can not imagine any truth

will come to see the light of day. Redact or rewrite would be my guess?

[RainCaster]

18. I want to know about Roswell and the UFOs

Let's hear about that!

[doc03]

21. I think Carter and Clinton both tried but were shut down. nt

[Frank D. Lincoln]

32. I immediately thought about that, too.

But then again, if they're little green creatures Trump would probably have them deported.

[Evolve Dammit]

34. DOD secrets. Remains and records at Wright-Patterson AFB in OH (or so I heard).

[EarthFirst]

19. The media is going to eat this shit up...

…meanwhile; pay close attention to the other hand; they certainly won’t be.

[DDySiegs]

20. Very Suspicious! - What about Lincoln?

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]

43. Lincoln is a bit suspicious, but it's highly unlikely that any files on him were kept hidden all these years

As for the others, if there are any secret files, by all means release them too.

[in2herbs]

29. But according to Trumpsters JFK is not dead. How do you release files on a dead person who's not dead? nt

[AverageOldGuy]

31. Oh, great -- just great

And now we will be flooded with JFK assassination conspiracy crap.

Whatever that tv channel is that investigates Oak Island and similar bullshit will be all over it.

[underpants]

35. I don't see Epstein mentioned in this article.

[dflprincess]

41. Apparently he's made it clear he won't be releasing the Epstein file

Can't imagine why.

[LeftInTX]

36. This will keep the History Channel busy

Bye-bye Ancient Alien guy!

[JoseBalow]

37. "consistent with the public interest"

That made me laugh out loud!

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

[KewlKat]

38. Will he also release the Roswell files/videos?

Asking for a friend....

[kelly1mm]

39. Credit where credit is due. This is a good thing from President Trump. Happy to see it. Nice touch

at the signing when the President said to give the pen to RFK Jr .....

[dflprincess]

42. I'm guessing if there was anything in those files that pointed to conspirators

it was scrubbed long ago knowing that sooner or later the files would be made public.

[Tarc]

45. Lol, keep this false praise to yourself. This is just pandering to RFK Jr. and his moonbeam fans

There's nothing of substance that the public doesn't already know.

[kelly1mm]

46. I am looking forward to reviewing the files on the MLK assassination mostly. Not sure how that is a pandering

to RFK Jr.

[BigmanPigman]

40. When will he release the classified UFO events?

[The Roux Comes First]

47. As Long As We're At It, How About Releasing Details on the Nixon Rat-fuckery

On the Paris Viet Nam Peace negotiations, and I still feel like there is some info missing on Smug Ronnie's hostage and contra criminality. Let's see what you've got!

[Sober Retiree]

49. Data For The Matta

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.

[B.See]

51. welcome to DU (again)?

[Figarosmom]

50. Watch most of these files be redacted

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.

[tetedur]

52. Release the Epstein files.
