When the JFK Assassination Files Will Be Released and Where to Read Them

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

74% : There's nothing preventing Trump from looking at the plan, saying, "fantastic work," and not doing anything.
58% : Among the panoply of executive orders signed by president Trump in his first week in office is a directive of special interest to conspiracy theorists: on Thursday, Trump directed the federal government to "present a plan to the President for the full and complete release of records relating to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy," as well as the assassinations of Senator Robert F. Kennedy and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr."That's a big one, huh?
50% : The president has the discretion to weigh public interest in disclosure against information that would harm intelligence or military operations, law enforcement, or foreign relations.
48% : How Trump might judge these options is unknown, although, for what it's worth, the executive order states that "all records in the Federal Government's possession pertaining to each of those assassinations is also in the public interest.
48% : But public interest in conspiracies surrounding the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. hasn't been as prevalent, and could provide the biggest revelations -- should the files related to the assassination actually see the light of day.
