A former CIA agent talks about why the JFK files still aren't public.

"I would never have agreed to the formation of the Central Intelligence Agency back in 1947, if I have known it would become the American Gestapo" President Harry S. Truman

[jimmygentile]

JFK himself warned against this. A man ahead of his time. I can understand why he wasnt around too long.

[AkronJosh]

Love it how a "former" cia agent goes on tv to say "why would they keep it classified if there was nothing to hide" to seem genuinely curious THEN he says it's nearly impossible that the government had anything to do with it 😂. Fairly certain he accomplished his mission.

[roblee]

It’s not risk of national security but risk of losing faith of three letter government agencies and some of the ones involved are still alive

[johnrussell]

If Oswald was the Lone assassin as they say what's the problem with releasing all the info

[mikegerald]

Very important to ensure that CIA and FBI files won't get destroyed because they don't want the truth to be known.

[wcsoblake]

I'm gonna miss this guy when the CIA sees this interview

[craigthescott]

The documents are not available because there’s still people alive that were involved in the assassination.

When I was in government, they had a saying:

"What do you do with information you don't want the Russians to know? Classify it SECRET.

What do you do with information that would embarrass the Director? Classify it TOP SECRET.

I remember Lee Harvey Oswald saying " I was a patsy" soon after he was apprehended.

[deaddropholiday]

The JFK files will never be fully published because they are still writing them.

[danrusso]

Wake up people LBJ BUSH and many others involved. Oswald was in fact a patsy. How clever to have Ruby waste him. A complete cover up.

[NativeSon]

Words you should fear: Trust me, I'm your Government.

I'll never believe there was only one rifleman. I'm an above average marksman with a rifle based on my lifetime experiences at the range, and there's no way any one rifleman could have made so many accurate shots in so little time at a moving target with a bolt action rifle which was/is KNOWN for its INACCURACY.

[jeannietarantola]

I'm not a gun guy, but I have been to the very spot . I don't know how a marksman could miss. When you are standing in the street right where it happened it's a lot deferent. Having said that I don't believe for one minute that Oswald acted alone.

[robertgabuna]

reason is obvious. the mastermind is still alive.

[MrPeaceandLiberty]

As long as there are people still alive who *should* be held accountable, the facts will never be disclosed.

[calebkaltenbach]

He’s still a gov’t poster-child—protecting the system.

[larryferguson]

The gov't has a long policy of covering up crimes.

[speed]

As I remember so well after the investigation back in the early 60's they said the files would not be made public for 100 years.
yeah, after we were all dead.
