[FONT=&]Future of Freedom Foundation, The JFK Cover-Up Continues, Jacob G. Hornberger (shown at right), Oct. 27, 2017. While the mainstream media was announcing for the past two weeks that President Trump was going to release the CIA's long-secret records on the JFK assassination, I took a different position. On Monday of this week, I predicted that Trump would make a deal with the CIA that would enable the CIA to continue its cover-up of the JFK assassination. (See I Predict Trump Will Continue the CIA's JFK Assassination Cover-Up and No Smoking Guns in the JFK Records?)[/FONT]
[FONT=&]On Thursday, the day of the deadline established by law for releasing the records, Trump granted the CIA's request for continued secrecy, on grounds of "national security," more than 50 years after the Kennedy assassination.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]Please, don't start calling me Nostradamus. A blind man could see what was happening. Donald "Art of the Deal" Trump was obviously negotiating all week with the CIA, and he was obviously pushing to get what he wanted all the way up to the very last day. On Thursday, the deadline established by law for releasing the records, the CIA undoubtedly blinked and Trump presumably got what he wanted in return for granting CIA request for continued secrecy.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]Some mainstream media commentators are criticizing the CIA for waiting until the very last day to make its case for continued secrecy. Displaying their naivete, they demonstrate their lack of understanding about how things work in Washington, D.C. As I indicated in my Monday article, when someone in the federal government needs a favor from someone else, the someone else is going to ask for something in return.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]The fact is that the CIA put in its request to Trump for continued secrecy of its JFK records long before yesterday. But "Art of the Deal" Trump obviously sat on the request, undoubtedly hoping that he could get what he wanted in return if he just continued holding out and conveying that he was ready to release the records.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]In the end, the CIA blinked, just as Trump knew it would. Contrary to what the mainstream press is asserting, the records undoubtedly contain more incriminating circumstantial evidence that fills in the mosaic of a U.S. national-security regime-change operation on November 22, 1963. That's what the mainstream media, forever wedded to the official story no matter how ridiculous and illogical it is, simply cannot bring themselves to confront.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]Trump knew that he had the CIA over a barrel. As I indicated in my two articles this week, the CIA was between a rock and a hard place. On the one hand, it could refuse to grant Trump what he wanted and let the records be released, which it knew would point to the CIA's guilt in the assassination. On the other hand, it could give Trump what he wanted and have to suffer the obvious inference that people would draw that the CIA was continuing to cover up incriminatory evidence.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]What did the CIA give Trump in return for Trump's extending the CIA's 50-year-plus secrecy? We don't know, but my hunch is that it pertains to Russia....[/FONT]
Interesting theory, may be correct. But it occurs to me that the exact opposite may be true. That is, Trump blinked. It has always been assumed that presidents enter office with great promises of openness and directness with the American people. Then the realities of the power of the intelligence community sinks in.
I think an equally likely reading of the events this week could be that Trump fully intended to release the records in full. But the powers that be let him know that's not how things work. After all wasn't that the result if the 63 coup?
