Interesting considering the attempted assassination of Trump. Perhaps he feels that some sunlight could help prevent future assassinations, or maybe he simply feels kinship to these his fallen political peers.

#32Surely nobody sees this as a bad thing. It’s been a bit since these events happened.
During his first term, Trump was the one who stopped all the records from being released automatically. This is his MO, to claim as victory something that would have happened without him opening his mouth in the first place.
This might make sense if the MLK and RFK assassinations weren't also being disclosed, and that without any act of congress.

#33A very convincing confession was published for the first time last month, of someone who alleges to have shot JFK.

He was asked about this by Joe Rogan, his response at there is some concern that some of the people involved was still alive, but now he feels that doesn’t override the need of the families and American people to know.
This post is not political whether you believe or do not believe Trump is up to you.

#36Earlier quoted context omitted.
The FBI. The FBI was out for MLK. In his first term Trump liked the FBI so he allowed them to redact the JFK files he was legally supposed to release to the public. But in 2025 they’re his bogey man so releasing it so Kash Patel has an even easier time remolding it in his image makes a lot of sense.
Yeah, I mean. Given what is known about the FBI and MLK how much worse could it get? Fun fact: there is a statue of MLK at the FBI academy in Quantico.
does the FBI have anything memorializing Ernest Hemmingway as well? That'd certainly be ironic.

We used to call this confirmation bias....

I am sure it makes some TLA look bad. I fully expect to not have everything released.
It depends on how bad it is. For example, if it turned out that a Secret Service officer fired a stray round that hit the President then I don't think we're going to see that made public ever.

#40Tangentially related:
My coworking space is a century old hardware distribution building in Birmingham, AL. It's about a 1-2 miles away from the predominantly African American neighborhood that was constantly bombed in the 50s.
I was told the FBI searched the building a few decades ago in the hopes of finding the rifle used in MLK's assassination.
Birmingham was a wild town for many years!
