Ahead of compliance with the president’s order, a discovery related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy had insiders railing against, “total Deep State bullsh*t.”
Like James Bond’s Spectre or the Marvel universe’s Hydra, President Donald Trump’s America First administration is exposing all kinds of secrets and corruption within the establishment bureaucracy. Following the GOP leader’s order to release the long-delayed files on JFK, an Axios report revealed that hundreds of related records had been “discovered” in a trove of thousands of pages of uncovered documents.
“The FBI just discovered about 2,400 records tied to President Kennedy’s assassination that were never provided to a board tasked with reviewing and disclosing the documents,” detailed the outlet as 14,000 pages of documents were uncovered by the agency after Trump’s order.
“The existence of the new documents was disclosed Friday to the White House when the Office of the Director of National Intelligence submitted its plan to disclose the assassination records under Trump’s order,” continued the report.
“This is huge. It shows the FBI is taking this seriously,” Jefferson Morley told Axios’ Marc Caputo in a phone interview. “The FBI is finally saying, ‘Let’s respond to the president’s order,’ instead of keeping the secrecy going.”
As vice president of the Mary Ferrell Foundation, Morley’s organization boasted the largest source of online records related to the assassination. On his own substack, he indicated that Judge John Tunheim, the jurist who oversaw the declassification effort in the ’90s, had been “clearly assured” by the FBI that all relevant documents had been provided at the time, leading him to call for an explanation as to why these new records hadn’t been provided.
“This is total Deep State bullsh*t,” offered one White House official to Axios in suggesting rationale as another suggested, “When POTUS hears about the stonewalling, he’s gonna hit the roof.”
“Don’t be surprised if all these records just suddenly wind up online,” contended a Trump adviser. “He wants to move on and call this a promise kept.”
Trump said when signing the order for the release of the files on Jan. 23, “Everything will be revealed,” only days after promising to a pre-inauguration crowd, “As the first step toward restoring transparency and accountability to government, we will also reverse the over-classification of government documents.”
“And in the coming days, we are going to make public remaining records relating to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert Kennedy, as well as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,” he added.
Wow! Trump says he’ll release JFK, RFK and MLK assassination files ‘in coming days’ https://t.co/IMqyMn7yXH

Notably, the Mary Ferrell Foundation sued the Biden administration in 2022 alleging there were documents held by federal agencies that hadn’t been turned over to the National Archives.
Among those were alleged to be jailhouse recordings of mobster Carlos Marcello, who himself had claimed to be involved in the assassination, and CIA files of then-chief of covert action for the CIA’s Miami, Florida station George Joannides who also worked as a case officer for a CIA-funded exile group based in New Orleans, Lousiana that encountered Lee Harvey Oswald prior to Nov. 22, 1963.
Morley told Axios, “The Joannides file sounds exactly like the newly discovered FBI files. It’s something assassination-related that was never turned over to the Archives.”
Similar to the reactions from insiders, social media users were incredulous at the notion that the files had simply been “discovered” considering the lengths taken to keep the full scope of the JFK assassination withheld.
Discovered like, there was a stack of boxes in the corner of a room that no one touched for 60 years?!
