- ποΈ The release of 880,000 pages of documents related to President John F. Kennedy's assassination has been a lengthy process, with the administration promising their release today, though still awaited.
- π‘ The journey began with the Zapruder film in 1975, sparking a lifelong interest for experts like Dory Wy.
- ποΈ Key legislative milestones include the House Select Committee on Assassinations in 1977 and the Assassination Records Collection Act under President Bush 41.
Past Releases and Delays
- π Previous administrations, including Trump's, have released some files but held others back, citing National Security concerns.
- π£οΈ Trump reportedly told Judge Napolitano that if he had seen what he saw, he would not have released the files, hinting at sensitive information.
- β This statement fuels speculation about potential conspiracies and the reasons behind withholding documents.
What Researchers Hope to Find
- π Experts like Dory Wy are looking for a potential "smoking gun" that could confirm long-standing theories.
- π€ One such theory involves "Operation Zipper," a purported memo detailing coordination between the CIA, Joint Chiefs of Staff, FBI, and the Mafia to assassinate the president.
- π While this memo remains unverified, the theory of a coordinated effort is widely accepted among top researchers.
- π€ The hope is that the newly released files might provide concrete evidence to support these theories, though researchers are tempering expectations.
