One
of the interesting things about the newly released CIA files on the
JFK assassination is why Trump released them when no other president
would.
Does
this make Trump the advocate of freedom and transparency in
government? No, of course not. His administration will go down in
history as one of criminality and lies, the worst this country has
ever seen in its entire history.
So
what other motivation does Trump have?
He
has two motivations and they are both very clear. First, Trump hates
America and wants to destroy its institutions. By releasing the
papers, he lowers the CIA's credibility as the CIA clearly executed a
cover up of their failure to prevent the JFK assassination. Second,
Trump hates the CIA because the CIA has said that the Russians
spoofed the election and possibly threw the election to the least
qualified candidate in an effort to destroy America.
So
this is not about honesty and transparency. This is about Trump
getting back at the CIA and his work to destroy America, hand in
hand, I have to say, with his friends and financiers, the Russians.
[Note:
Larry Weinberg on Facebook pointed out that Congress set the deadline
for this release. Thats true, but what Congress really did was set a
proposed date, the President had the power to postpone the release
indefinitely. So it was really Trump's decision to release, and he
had complete power to postpone. Any other president could have
requested the release at any time]
It turns out there was a law passed literally 25 years ago Thursday, that said that the information should be released on October 26, 2017. It is true that Trump kinda went forward on this -- but not really. In any case, it wasn't his idea to do this in the first place.
