Staff Reports
The recent revelation that the FBI has unearthed about 2,400 previously undisclosed documents concerning the assassination of John F. Kennedy raises eyebrows more than it clears them. As reports indicate, these documents never made it to the board responsible for reviewing and releasing related files, which gives more credence to the belief that certain entities within the government may be playing hide-and-seek with history. One has to wonder: what exactly were they trying to hide?
The White House was brought in on this little secret when the Director of National Intelligence complied with an executive order put forth by Donald Trump, which aims to release records related to the tragic event of November 22, 1963. The chances that these documents could shed light on the infamous assassination can’t be ignored. After all, it has been one of the most scrutinized events in U.S. history, with no shortage of conspiracy theories trailing in its wake. Still, hundreds of FBI agents were involved, and even the best detectives occasionally miss a lead or two.
What’s amusing is how the FBI casually slipped in that their discovery was part of Trump’s 2025 executive order regarding the declassification of files related to not just JFK, but also RFK and MLK. It’s a comedic twist of fate that it takes years to unearth documents that should have been accessible long ago. The bureaucracy clogs up the clearance process like a poorly maintained airport runway—lots of red tape, and a few runaways lurking in the shadows.
Of course, this revelation doesn’t come without its drama. The CIA, as usual, has been playing the role of the overprotective parent, insisting that some of these treasures contain “highly sensitive” information, which just happens to suit their interests rather well. Even Trump, back in 2017, had to back down amidst claims of “potentially irreversible harm” to national security—A classic case of government caution spinning out of control. What’s the fun in digging up the past if the authorities hold all the cards close to their chest?
The missing records prolly just fell down behind the drawer. Happens all the time…
FBI Discovers Thousands of Previously Unreported JFK Assassination Records https://t.co/zvCmhRgBE7

Now, the newest batch of documents could prove relevant to ongoing legal strife, specifically a lawsuit filed by the Mary Ferrell Foundation against the Biden administration, alleging the cover-up of additional assassination-related records. What a tangled web of intrigue—what once seemed too scandalous to unveil might just be the key to unearthing government failures from another lifetime. With each passing year, the so-called sensitive “sources and methods” are likely becoming less so, while Trump, with his wrecking ball approach to governance, is likely to care less about the fate of intelligence agencies and more about fulfilling promises to his supporters.
In the end, it is laughable that researchers have long suspected these documents were tucked away. Connections between Lee Harvey Oswald and the FBI, coupled with a CIA officer’s mysterious encounters with him prior to the assassination, paint an enticing picture of a government that doesn’t just get it wrong but outright flees from accountability. As the documents slowly make their way into public light, one can only hope that a little embarrassment for the FBI and CIA is exactly what’s needed to force these agencies to either come clean or at least stop playing cat and mouse with the truth.
