- π The release of the JFK assassination documents is described as a master class in how not to do a document release, with 50,000 files dumped without a guide to what's new.
- π Comparing files is difficult as there's no clear indication if a document has been previously released with minor redactions, requiring extensive cross-referencing.
Unanswered Questions and Potential Revelations
- β There is still doubt about whether tax files of Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby or the grand jury proceedings of Jim Garrison will be released.
- π― While a "smoking gun" implicating the CIA in the assassination is unlikely, there's potential to uncover whether the CIA knew more about Oswald than indicated and failed to inform the FBI.
Oswald's Activities and Agency Communication
- π΅οΈ Speculation exists that the CIA had Oswald under surveillance, particularly after his trip to Mexico City where he met with Russian agents.
- π·πΊ Information from released KGB files indicates Oswald's aggressive behavior at the Soviet Embassy, raising questions about whether the CIA was aware of this and other activities.
- β οΈ The core question is whether the CIA should have alerted the FBI about Oswald's actions, which might have prevented the assassination.
