The drop of 65,000 pages and 17 audio files related to Sen. Robert F. Kennedy’s June 1968 assassination happened too soon for JFK Facts’ team to read and analyze them. Remember, the documents are not searchable on the National Archives page highlighting the RFK collection. But if you enter “mp3” into the search box, you can find those audio files, including the Los Angeles Police Department’s interview with Sirhan Sirhan on June 6, 1968. Listen in.

On the weekly JFK Facts podcast, Larry Schnapf and Chad Nagle discussed the FBI files, the RFK release and other matters, and subscribers joined the discussion.

The story of the most explosive JFK file still withheld by the CIA is the story of the personnel file of undercover officer George Joannides. His paid agents generated propaganda about Lee Harvey Oswald before and after JFK was killed, and he obstructed Congress’s JFK investigation in 1978.

It’s been 100 days since President Trump issued Executive Order 14176, calling for “full and complete” JFK disclosure, and the Joannides file — containing 44 documents from 1962-1981 — is still withheld from public view.

I’ll report on the ongoing efforts of Rep. Anna Paulina Luna to obtain the Joannides file and other key JFK records still held by the CIA.

Does full JFK disclosure important because it advances President Trump’s ambition to tame the so-called “deep state?” Does Trump’s advocacy of full JFK disclosure serve his authoritarian agenda?

Or does full JFK disclosure matter because it holds the CIA accountable for abuses of power related to November 22, 1963, and highlights the need for Kennedy’s liberal policy vision today, a vision quite different than Trump’s?

In a related issue, we talk about Robert F. Kennedy’ Jr.’s decision to release the autopsy photographs of his father. Radical transparency? Or unnecessary invasion of privacy?
