More than 3,000 never-before-seen documents from the FBI, CIA, and Justice Department on the assassination of\u00a0John F.\u00a0Kennedy are scheduled be released, with many experts\u00a0fearing that such a large release of secret JFK assassination documents will spur \u201ca new generation of conspiracy theories.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Roger Stone,\u00a0the CIA is urging President Donald Trump to delay disclosing some of the files for another 25 years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Roger Stone said in a post on his website\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cThey must reflect badly on the CIA even though virtually everyone involved is long dead.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Newsmax<\/a>\u00a0reports:<\/p>\n

More than 3,000 never-before-seen documents from the FBI, CIA, and Justice Department are set to be released, along with 30,000 that have only been partially released in the past. The document dump \u201cwill simply fuel a new generation of conspiracy theories,\u201d write Philip Shenon and Larry J. Sabato.<\/p>\n

Sabato is the director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics and author of\u00a0\u201cThe Kennedy Half-Century\u201d<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and Shenon is a former reporter for the New York Times and author of,\u00a0\u201cA Cruel and Shocking Act: The Secret History of the Kennedy Assassination.\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The CIA is urging President Donald Trump to delay disclosing some of the files for another 25 years according to friend and political adviser Roger Stone but the National Archives would not say whether any agencies have appealed the release of the documents.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to The Gateway Pundit<\/a>\u00a0Roger Stone and Gerald Posner, two\u00a0New York Times<\/em>\u00a0bestselling authors who are polar opposites about who killed JFK, have joined together to urge Donald Trump to release all the remaining classified files on Kennedy\u2019s assassination.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

About 3,100 files are still sealed in the National Archives. Under the 1992 JFK Records Act, the Archives have until\u00a0October 26<\/span>\u00a0to decide which of those files to publicly disclose.<\/p>\n

Some of the classified documents include a CIA personality study of Oswald, top-secret testimony of former CIA officers to congressional committees, transcripts of interrogations with Soviet defector and Oswald handler Yuri Nosenko, letters about the case from J. Edgar Hoover and Jackie Kennedy, the CIA file on Jack Wasserman, the attorney for New Orleans mob boss Carlos Marcello, and the operational file of E. Howard Hunt, career spy and Watergate burglar.<\/p>\n

Roger Stone, in his bestselling 2013\u00a0The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The Case Against LBJ,\u00a0<\/em>set forth the case that LBJ was the mastermind of plot that included the CIA, the Mob and Big Texas Oil to kill Kennedy.<\/p>\n

Gerald Posner, in his 1993 bestselling finalist for the Pulitzer for History,\u00a0Case Closed: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of JFK<\/em>, concluded that the Warren Commission conclusions are correct and Oswald acting alone had killed Kennedy.<\/p>\n

While they might not agree on who killed Kennedy, Stone and Posner are longstanding advocates for the release of all the government files on the assassination.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese files should have been released long ago,\u201d says Posner. \u201cThe government does this all the time, over classified documents and then holds on to them for decades under the guise of \u2018national security.\u2019 All the secrecy just feeds people\u2019s suspicions that the government has something to hide and adds fuel to conspiracy theories.\u201d Posner is convinced the case will still be closed when the last document is made public.<\/p>\n

\u201dI know CIA Director Pompeo is urging the President to delay release of these records for another 25 years,\u201d said Stone. \u201cThey must reflect badly on the CIA even though virtually everyone involved is long dead.\u201d Stone believes the evidence supporting the case in his book is still hidden somewhere in government files.<\/p>\n

Both authors called on President Trump \u2013 who is empowered to make the final decision should the National Archives or CIA balk on releasing all the files \u2013 to opt for transparency.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
