Almost 54 years after Kennedy’s murder in Dallas, a White House decision to block the release of any of the documents will outrage historians, other researchers and the nation’s army of conspiracy theorists—who have been waiting for years for the release of the last of the assassination files. A bipartisan group of lawmakers on Capitol Hill has joined together in recent months to call for full disclosure of the JFK files.
In an interview this week, Rep. Walter Jones, a North Carolina Republican who has led the effort, said he has yet to receive word from the White House on its plans for the documents. But he said he is working with Trump’s friend and adviser Roger Stone, the controversial Republican consultant who had recently become entangled in congressional investigations of possible collusion between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign, to pressure the president to agree to a full release.
Stone, author of a book alleging that President Lyndon B. Johnson was the mastermind of JFK’s assassination, has said that he had been told authoritatively that CIA Director Mike Pompeo is urging Trump to block the declassification of some of the agency’s files.

Probably because people from our gov't was likely behind it...or it was masterminded by the USSR and would add more fuel to the fire about Russia.
CIA, (left holding their dicks in their hands in Cuba), Mafia, all had good reasons to kill JFK. There has always been the rumor of the secret meeting in Dallas with the Hunts, Bush 1's Dad, LBJ, Mafia etc prior to the assassination
One of the great lines I've heard on this issue is that Stone only got one thing right in the movie ... the date of the assassination.
Micheal Smerconish had a pretty good take on it the other day ... there was a conspiracy between the CIA and Mafia to kill a national leader, but it was Castro, not JFK. Trump's tweet seemed crafted to allow the FBI and CIA to identify any sources that may still be alive and in danger if any of the files are revealed, but it's not going to provide any new information on the assassination itself - the disclosure of previously unreleased files would probably reveal a coverup of ties between the CIA and the Mafia to act against Cuba.
