I don’t think Trump can be trusted on this or many other things, although I suspect he’s not as close to Pompeo as he once was, perhaps resentful of the advice he received in October 2017 and thereafter, especially now that he blames the Deep State for his ouster. Tsk.

Trump should just publicly announce what's in the documents that, in 2020, prompted him telling Judge Napolitano it was "too horrific" for him to release. What, will he be charged with "releasing classified information" if he does so now?!

If Trump knows, he should just say so. If he says nothing, he lied to Judge Napolitano.

Unless Trump promises to support the Transparency Act I guess he’s not as bad as Biden on this issue.

(As an aside, I was a Congressional intern during Biden’s party boy era. Biden’s certainly no better than Trump on this score in my book.)

If the CIA developed plans to kill Julian Assange, you know they have developed plans to kill Trump--not that they will, but just in case the necessity arises. Trump probably realizes that, and he's scared to cross them. He will always cave to them IMO.

Books I read decades ago suggested that the CIA hires criminals to perform criminal work and this insulates the agency somewhat. The last shot, over 260 feet, required more skill than an everyday criminal. A good high power scope would be essential, not the BB gun scope on the Carcano. Hollywood films have given viewers a distorted view of how easy 100 yard shots are. All occupants in the car, including Greer and Kellerman were in jeopardy. The last shot was unnecessary.

My father was a marine in WW II serving as Chesty Puller's radioman at Peleliu. He landed in the first wave and was the last marine to leave the island, dragging telephone lines to a craft. My grandfather was 58% Apache with the surname Gonzales. He entered the country illegally and changed the name hoping to avoid deportation (in the 1920s) My dad worked in electronics in very highly classified projects for American intelligence. He was a very early believer in a JFK assassination.

You’re right.

As a presidential hopeful, he’ll say anything to win. On the other hand, RFK Jr is only different in style. These patterns are clear.

All of them are puppets. It’s all a Kabuki.

The older I get the more surprised I am that people believe any promise made by presidential candidates.

Why was this film clip not front page news all over the world?

It's an extraordinary statement for a former president to make. Would Trump deny making it and call Judge Napolitano a liar?

So Trump just needs to publicly clarify that Judge Napolitano must be mistaken in his memory of what Trump said he had SEEN from the JFK Files, that he had only parroted "what he was told" of the "horror" requiring continued concealment. [OK, tell us "what you were told" is that "horror"]. Substitute "Mossad" for CIA in your analysis.

I don't like trump but he is not a convicted sex offenders LOL. i think he thinks that since he was found to be civilly liable. But that doesn't make someone convicted.

A rare circumstance, but I am going to defend him. When he delayed it three years my great uncle was 97. With my great uncle still alive, I can't see it that Trump would have released the files. Just a refresher, my great uncle claims that he laid out the entire conspiracy to LBJ.
