🎉 Special Guest Episode! It was my pleasure to sit down recently with Larry Schnapf, an environmental attorney with 40+ years of experience fighting the good fight for the release of the JFK files. Larry filed a FOIA lawsuit against the National Archives to obtain the underlying correspondence related to the Trump postponements of the JFK records in 2017 and 2018. In 2021 and 2022, Larry also organized a group of open government organizations, historians and prominent JFK researchers to request Congress to hold oversight hearing on the failure of the executive branch to comply with the JFK Records Act. He also organized a similar group in 2021 requesting Biden to release all the JFK Records by the October 26, 2021 deadline established by Trump.   

Given Trump's Executive Order 14176 from January, where do things stand? I spoke with Larry to get down to brass tacks. 

Topics:

➡️ What sparked Larry's interest in this?
➡️ What about Judge Napolitano's claims that Trump told him, "If you saw what I saw, you wouldn't have released those files either" ? What's the story there?
➡️ Which agencies are still resisting the disclosure of the JFK files? What legal grounds are they claiming to have?"
➡️ Can there really still be "national security reasons" to hoard information all these decades later?
➡️ Is there a proverbial smoking gun? Or is there a collection of threads that skilled researchers will have to thread together over time?
➡️ What can John & Jane Q. Public do to push for real transparency on this?
