The verbiage on the first page of the lawsuit is a mouthful: Mary Ferrell Foundation Inc, Josiah Thompason and Gary Aguilar vs. Joseph R. Biden in his official capacity as Executive Office of the President of the United States and the National Archives and Records Administration.

Filed by attorney BIll Simpich on Oct. 19, 2021, the 42-page lawsuit identifies five ways in which the government has failed to implement the 1992 JFK Records Act.

They include: continued withholding in violation of the JFK Records Act; deficiencies in the National Archive's "central directory of identification aids; missing records which should have been released in 2017, but weren't; unjustified redactions; and records that are not in the JFK Collection but should be.

The combination of foundation’s position as the premier JFK assassination web site on the internet and these specific and substantive problems with the execution of the JFK Records Act made the lawsuit newsworthy in a new way. The JFK story was recast. The JFK story was not framed as a question of conspiracy, yes or no? It was framed as a question of accountability, yes or no?

After the very limited release in December 2021 and another year of non-compliance, mainstream news organizations discovered a credible source—the Mary Ferrell Foundation—offering a new and credible narrative of the JFK story that conflicted with the narrative laid down by the White House and mainstream news organizations—-and had nothing to do with the eternal conspiracy question.
