CIA Releases New Batch Of Documents On RFK Assassination

[Conservative Angle]

​

Promises kept!

Shortly after taking office in January, President Trump signed an executive order calling for the assassination files of JFK, RFK, and Martin Luther King Jrt to be declassified.

All three files have been mostly declassified, and only a small percentage still needs to be released.

In April and May, the Trump Administration released over 70,000 pages regarding the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy.

On Thursday morning, the CIA released over 1,400 more pages.

CBS reported on what some of the files revealed:

The CIA released a new batch of declassified documents surrounding the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in 1968, acting on an executive order that President Trump issued soon after taking office.

“The records reveal for the first time that Senator Kennedy shared his experiences traveling to the former Soviet Union with CIA, reflecting his patriotic commitment to serving his country,” the CIA said in a statement accompanying the release.

Kennedy was shot and killed by Sirhan Sirhan after the Democratic presidential primary in California in June 1968, four and a half years after President John F. Kennedy, his brother, was slain in Dallas. Sirhan, a Palestinian with Jordanian citizenship, said later that he killed RFK because of RFK’s support for Israel in the Six-Day War in 1967.

What’s in the new files?

The disclosure includes 54 newly declassified documents totaling 1,450 pages. They include news articles, dispatches from overseas CIA stations, intelligence reports on foreign officials, investigative updates and correspondence between the CIA and other agencies like the State Department and Department of Justice.

The longest document runs 814 pages and details the response to the assassination from CIA outposts and U.S. embassies around the world, with agents in numerous countries following leads about Sirhan’s background and potential motivation.

One cable from June 29, 1968, showed officers in Sri Lanka reporting back to headquarters in Virginia about efforts to place favorable news coverage in a local newspaper to shape public opinion following the assassination. The article “makes [the] point that America has no monopoly on violence” and that China “points a pious finger at America and expects the world to ignore the Mao-supported wave upon wave of violence unleashed by the Red Guards,” the cable said.

A handful of the documents remain heavily redacted, including assessments of Sirhan’s mental state and his handwriting. “High intellectual potential [redacted] not properly utilized, due to severe [redacted],” one report reads.

The document referenced by the CIA about RFK’s travels to the Soviet Union is a 148-page “personality dossier” on information about RFK that the agency collected between 1955 and 1964. As a young Senate staffer in 1955, Kennedy traveled to the Soviet Union for several weeks with Supreme Court Justice William Douglas, his longtime friend, and detailed his observations and experiences in a series of reports for the CIA.

interesting note regarding CBS's plans to air a documentary on JFK, RFK, and MLK assassinations. They wanted to be sure Mr. Rather was fully convinced Oswald never had a CIA connection, and to avoid any information contrary to that conclusion: https://t.co/Llp6GByKoy pic.twitter.com/qZhTwUJN4e

BREAKING: CIA FILE REVEALS EARLY DIG ON RFK’S ASSASSIN – AND THEY CAME UP EMPTY

One of the newly declassified 1968 docs from the CIA’s RFK assassination trove shows intel agencies scrambling to ID Sharif Bishara Sirhan – also known as Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, the man later convicted of killing Robert F. Kennedy.

Spoiler alert: The CIA couldn’t find a thing.

This June 6 cable shows the CIA frantically checking its records and querying field stations, only to come up with zilch on Sirhan.

No matches. No background.

Just a big, bureaucratic shrug.

Which makes you wonder… how did a total ghost end up 1 inch from a presidential candidate with a gun?

The document was approved for release in 1982, but only now is it seeing the light of day thanks to Trump’s EO 14176.

Here’s what RFK Jr. believes happened to his father:

RFK recently went on a podcast with Mike Tyson where he explained that the CIA killed his father when he was running for President in 1968

Youtube just deleted this entire interview off its platform
