“You cannot tell the country that our government killed a president”
On eve of release, pollster reveals reasoning behind Trump admin’s failure to disclose JFK files the first time around
80,000 pages are set for release today, generically titled The JFK Files. But the revelations have already begun.
Rich Baris, the top pollster in the country, known as much for his accuracy as his loquacity, revealed yesterday why Trump stopped short of fully disclosing the JFK files during his first term. As we have known for some time now, the culprit was none other than former CIA Director Mike Pompeo.
I’ve written about Pompeo before in glowing terms, that is, in the fiery glow of inveterate disdain. It is no surprise his name has resurfaced in this prickly matter.
“You cannot tell the country that our government killed a president,” Pompeo said to Trump at the very end of his term, according to Baris. His chief concern: reputational damage to CIA.
Pompeo was Secretary of State at the time, a lateral move in terms of spookistry in that era. As I have stated before on this substack, this is an un-American man to the core. Loyalty to government and agency over the constitution and the people it serves is the warren of tyranny and the bargain of secret societies. Men like this are not fit for service.
Hey Mike, next time you go around bragging to people that your pal Nikki Haley would be named the RNC’s Presidential candidate and you her VP just days prior to a particular assassination attempt in Butler, PA, you best not miss.
There’s no telling what the files (we might say what’s left of the files after decades of midnight shredding parties) contain, and hounds like Jefferson Morley and others are feeling a malaise after so many promises of full disclosure have been made and broken over the years.
An independently released recording, unauthenticated but authentically Texan, recently brought forth gave its listeners a new angle on the theory that LBJ had a direct hand in JFK’s murder. Any documents forthcoming may either lend or withhold credence for this view. We will wait and see what we get. Let’s just hope it’s not a dud.
