Previously classified John F. Kenny (JFK) assassination documents have been released.
Gatekeepers News reports that JFK researchers say there is little new to learn in Wednesday’s release of previously classified documents.
The documents were collected as part of the government review into the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
According to reports, the vast majority of the almost 1,500 documents released by the National Archives as new appear to be duplicates of previously released documents with only a few redacted words now revealed.
The slight difference is the name of a CIA case officer or the location of an overseas agency station that investigators had already pieced together, some have no changes whatsoever.
Meanwhile, the release still leaves more than 10,000 documents either partially redacted or withheld entirely.
However, these won’t be seen until December 2022 at the earliest under an order issued by President Joe Biden in October.
It has prolonged the bitter debate between the federal government and JFK researchers, who argue that the CIA, the FBI, and other national security agencies have continually stonewalled a congressionally mandated release.
The University of Virginia’s Larry Sabato, a leading scholar of the assassination said “It’s always the next time.”
Sabato called the redactions that were removed in Wednesday’s release “minimal and worthless.”
