On Thursday, January 23, 2025, Donald Trump signed an Executive Order to begin the final de-classification and release process of the remaining JFK Assassination records. What is in this Executive Order? What problems might occur based on how it was written? Why is it important that the remaining records be released? Is there a smoking gun in there?
Jim answers all of those questions, plus he gives a sneak peak at what kind of things could or should emerge from the release. Jim's way of addressing the Kennedy files included delicious details. It's likely that many of the things he covered will be new you.
