Looks like they were monitoring him and were hostile towards him. Maybe they thought he’d make a good patsy.
For fucks sake, release everything.
Anyone who mattered regarding the whole thing is either dead, or elderly and demented.
Theres nothing left to cover up.
True in a sense, but there are people who helped cover it up who are still alive and well.

Since the assassination took place over sixty years ago, who gives a shit?
Will we ruffle the feathers of a few surviving elderly conspirators? Will we upset the world order?
Likely nobody gives a shit about the surviving conspirators, but remember that the CIA has pretty thoroughly denied any and all relations to the assassination since then. I’m just guessing here, but it could be that they’re trying to cover up their own (and their friends’) role in deceiving Congress and the public. Someone who was involved in, say, deceiving the Assassination Records Review Board in the late 90s could very much still be in service.

I’m still leaning towards who gives a shit. Any cover up dudes in the nineties probably didn’t shoot the guy in the sixties.
Rip the bandaid off.
Personally, I just want to know. And I want to be able to rub it in the face of the people who implied I was dumb for still thinking that a conspiracy was a possibility

You’ll get better at it, but it works because they load the article first. Then the paywall.
This might work; I had to use option 2: https://www.removepaywall.com/search?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fnational-security%2F2025%2F07%2F14%2Fcia-oswald-jfk-assassination-joannides%2F
Good to know. Archive.is is failing here.
How is this oniony?
I thought the CIA always maintained that they had nothing to do with Lee Harvey Oswald or the JFK assassination?
Well. That’s not changed by anything in your article …
It’s interesting and all, but it’s more about how the people they were investigating under pseudonyms were eventually installed over the efforts to get investigate themselves…
Like, that’s fucking huge. And definitely implies they were really involved in it, but it’s not a smoking gun
Edit:
To be clear the most likely explanation has always been the same as Cheney and 9/11…
They knew it was coming, in general if not specific, and they choose to let it happen because that was what was best for their interests.
That’s a billion times more likely than the CIA taking explicit actions to lead to the assassinations of a US president. It takes a lot to make something like this happen, very little to know it’s gonna happen and intentionally let it happen.
I also saw something at one point that claimed the solution to the magic bullet theory was just that a secret service member accidentally shot jfk after Oswald shot. And that the conspiracy/cover up is more along the lines of they didn’t want that getting out, either to protect the agency and/or the individual. In my mind this explanation makes sense, but I’m not really invested in any of it.
If “intelligence agency caught lying” is all that’s needed to make it onion-y it would be a lot busier here.
For satire I’d expect something like “CIA accidentally publishes message thanking Lee Harvey Oswald for his service”
It isn’t. This community is basically “news” at this point.
It’s really damning that it took not one but two Trump terms to get anything resembling information on this. This should fatally discredit the Democrats more than they were already fatally discredited. Hopefully some heads are actually going to roll over this.
What?
I mean, MAGA just showed that you can find and reveal this information if you actually want to. So what does that say about the people who did not, in fact, find this information?
Maybe they were busy with actually important things?
Keeping the people who were deceiving Congress and the public for decades out of one of the least accountable government agencies seems pretty important to me.
Fuck off regressive shill.
Noone is buying the distraction tactics.
Ah, yes, because everyone who disagrees you is a MAGA conspiracy.
Epstein list
Yes?
Implies they released the nothingburger information to distract red hatted morons.
I mean yeah probably, but that’s not really relevant to what I’m trying to say here. My point is that the Democrats could’ve found and revealed this information but didn’t, not that Republicans did so out of their dedication to accountable governance.
