National Archives releases first batch of 2017 JFK documents

[Peter Lemkin]

Unbelieveable! The CIA released it's Top Secret document on Kennedy's assassination, and now that we know who did it and why we can all go home now America! Get some sleep, it's over, the assassination has been fully solved! Here's the proof!

If that is from the recent release it is breaking the law unless Trump had specifically signed off on the redaction [and why]. I have lots of documents like that - as do others. I see the CIA has changed from redacting in black to redacting in white...how environmentally friendly, as it saves on ink or magic markers whatever they were using. When I filed a FOIA on Plumlee long ago many pages only had the page numbers, everything else was blacked out. Lots of other JFK documents have similar total or near total redactions and that was NOT what the JFK Act called for - in fact the opposite. In an own-goal kind of situation, some of the recently released documents were redacted, when unredacted versions were already available publicly...now that is progress. The Angleton strategy is obviously at play in the IC - to 'wait out' the congress, executive and public on disclosing their involvement and knowledge of what happened.
