President Joe Biden ordered yet another delay in the release of secret files related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy yet to see the light of day more than 50 years after his death.
A White House memo, signed by Biden, said "[t]emporary continued postponement is necessary to protect against identifiable harm to the military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, or the conduct of foreign relations that is of such gravity that it outweighs the public interest in immediate disclosure."
The order comes in response to the archivist of the United States recommending the president temporarily certify the continued withholding of all of the information certified in 2018 and direct two public releases of the information that has ultimately been determined to be appropriate for release to the public, with one interim release later this year and one more comprehensive release in late 2022, according to the memo.
Delays associated with the coronavirus pandemic were cited as the reason for the recommendation.

(5,499 posts)I think people have a difficult time with that. The real question is who put him up to it? And who had connections to those people. Remember, it's a small world. People with money often have associations with people who the average person may find questionable. My guess is that Oswald had connections to people who had connections to maybe more public people. If some of that came out, people and their imaginations would run wild.
My assumption is that there are people who probably have connections to both Bush and Johnson. There are probably some mob ties. And who knows what else.
Ruby's killing of Oswald doesn't help any. Did he kill Oswald out of panic--did he have some sort of connection he didn't want made public? Or was he put up to it? If Ruby doesn't kill Oswald, he would have been quickly convicted and executed. End of story...maybe

Why did these and evidently other federal agencies obstruct justice?

(46,326 posts)Namely that Lee Harvey Oswald was ALREADY being spied on by the FBI, so they botched the surveillance of Oswald.

(6,805 posts)Oswald informed on the CIAs rogue appendage, the mis-directed group running anti-Casto Cubans, that was continuing to try to bring down Castro.
It's (Oswalds informing) how the FBI brought down the rogue camps/arms they had set-up in Louisiana.
(There's a documentary video on Tubi TV about it. Tubi is operated by Fox. FYI.)
Oswald never fired a shot that day. IMHO.
But, the CIA or at least it's rogue shadow was onto LHO as an informer for the FBI.
That's how he got set up as the patsy, JEH had to accede to that, or have it revealed he/FBI was paying Oswald.
That's why there has been so much dissembling and cover up going all around.
