    Glad he releases JFK files. I expect a nothing burger. But, we can be done with speculation about what the govt is holding back.

    J/k, I know conspiracists will still say we're holding something back.

    Anything about Rafael Cruz? It’s been said he was involved with Oswald.

    Heard it from Trump.

    The Trump administration scrambled to minimize fallout on Thursday after exposing personal information, including Social Security numbers, of hundreds of congressional staff members, intelligence researchers and even an ambassador when releasing files pertaining to the death of President John F. Kennedy.

    The exposure of personal details, as well as long-guarded secrets about Cold War spycraft, came as a result of the National Archives uploading 64,000 pages of documents related — some very tangentially — to Kennedy’s 1963 assassination.

    White House officials acknowledged on Thursday that it was only after the papers were made public that they began combing through them for exposed details.

    On Wednesday, the White House ordered that the pages be combed for exposed Social Security numbers, and officials directed the Social Security Administration to issue new numbers to the affected people, according to a senior administration official, in an extraordinary response to mitigate the potential harm of the disclosures. They will also be offered free credit monitoring.



    In fact, the exposure could have violated U.S. privacy law, ...



    His national security team was stunned and forced to scramble after the president announced on Monday that he would release the Kennedy documents with only 24 hours’ notice. Administration officials had been working to make the records public since January, when Mr. Trump signed an executive order mandating it.

    But that process was still underway on Monday afternoon when Mr. Trump, during a visit to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, said the files would be made available the next day. By Tuesday evening, some of the country’s top national security officials had spent hours trying to assess any possible hazards.

    Administration officials knew before the documents went out that releasing them without redactions would expose some personal information, according to one person with knowledge of the effort who was granted anonymity to discuss the deliberations.


    Tulsi Gabbard, the director of National Intelligence, championed the untouched pages



    Despite the limited number of redactions, nothing found in the papers so far has pointed to a second gunman or other conspiracy theories about Kennedy’s 1963 assassination. Any new information was largely related to the C.I.A.’s clandestine Cold War operations, including spying on erstwhile allies.

    A former lawyer for the Trump campaign, Joseph diGenova, 80, was among the people whose personal data was revealed to the public, according to The Washington Post. “It’s absolutely outrageous,” Mr. diGenova, a frequent and ardent supporter of the president, told the newspaper, adding, “It’s like a first-grade, elementary-level rule of security to redact things like that.”

    THEY KNEW! And didn't care.
    F*** those people, right?

    Seriously this is not incompetence. . .this is indifference
    This is nearing open hostility.

    It won't be a hard decision for them. The loyalty to Trump is unending and here is a preview of how it will go:
    • Elon is mad that Trump killed the "EV mandate"
    • Elon is high all of the time (sad!)
    • Elon is unreliable, daddy Trump remains honest
