    He talked about wanting to do this in his first term, so it’s not new since the two assassination attempts.

    So we’ll know more about these assassinations of old, than the person who attempted to assassinate Trump himself..

    So, these agencies conspired to do all these nefarious things, collected the evidence to out themselves, then diligently preserved it for decades so that a single signature during a quasi-reality show intro could blow it all up.

    That is some high-end conspiring!

    I thought he has been asked why he did not de-classify more of this during his first term and thought he explained, for example, that some witnesses are still alive and shouldn't be outed. Presumably that concern and other concerns would still largely apply now?

    There's something called redaction, which is used the hide the names of people in documents who shouldn't be "outed." Of course I wouldn't be surprised if Trump had never heard of it.

    True. I tried to account for that by qualifying it with the word "largely." Will be interesting to see how much the scope of production and redactions change.

    I suppose this is what you're reduced to now given Trump's current 52% approval rating. (42% disapproval)

    What has Trump done so far except sign a bunch of EOs? (Ee-I-Ee-I-O!) I'm sure he spends the rest of his time (like he did in his first term) watching TV.

    Re: JFK assasination, I’m not saying it was aliens. But it was aliens.

    Seriously, I predict we’ll be underwhelmed.

    And you're reduced to deflection. Typically pathetic.

    It was reported that the family of MLK wanted to see the documents before they were publicly released. I think that is fair, same for the JFK and RFK files. They shouldn't have a veto over release though.

    Probably a lot in there that is typical bureaucratic stuff and some CYA actions by the government but just enough for the conspiracy theories to grow.
