WASHINGTON, March 17 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday his administration will make public around 80,000 pages of files related to former president John F. Kennedy on Tuesday.
Earlier this year, Trump signed an executive order directing the federal government to present a plan to release records related to the assassinations of Kennedy, his brother Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.

And I've got a Bridge in Baltimore to sell you if you think anything incriminating about the past/present deep state players will be unveiled. The fucking Kitty History "music video" is more honest about American history post-Kennedy than the State Itself is ever going to be... The Bridge in Baltimore was destroyed by pajeets, someone call Elon.
 
Anyone with a synapse can work out that if the state chose to assassinate the head of state, they are not going to have written down a nice If I Did It report and file that away for future ref, for fuck's sake. Even if you believe the FBI had the Kennedys killed, there is no possibility any paper trail connected to such a decision or action ever existed. There is literally nothing to see here. I do not understand what 'releasing these files' is expected to accomplish.

I think it's more complicated than that. My money for a long time has been on the actual killshot coming from the Secret Service in the motorcade with JFK...and it being an actual accident, with the shot fired in response to a shot ringing out from the book depository.

Under this theory, Jack Ruby is required to kill Oswald and that's the coverup, and it starts because any competent defense at trial would find out via the discovery process that the trajectories give (at minimum) reasonable doubt that Oswald's bullet did the job. The trial would have been a mess, people would have still said the Secret Service did it on purpose, and so on.

I'm only putting this in writing because I'd like the credit if I'm right. If it really is just the "official story" for 80k pages, oh well, it was a longshot (pun intended).

I don't think making Ruby kill Oswald would matter. Even if the USSS did fire and kill their boss, it ultimately came down to everything being in response to the events Oswald set into motion. It's like when the cops fire at a bank robber and hit and kill a bystander in the process; the bank robber is the one charged with the killing because everything was in response to that act.

Ruby killed Oswald for the notoriety thinking he would be lauded as a national hero and was legitimately shocked that it didn't pan out that way.
 
And entire pages will be redacted.

“You got a lot of reading. I don’t believe we’re going to redact anything. I said, ‘just don’t redact, you can’t redact,’” the president said, adding it will be about 80,000 pages that he described as “interesting.”

He said he has “heard about them” when asked if he has seen what’s in the files; he added, “I’m not doing summaries, you’ll write your own summary.”
