"BREAKING NEWS: List of Withheld JFK Assassination Documents"
Here it is--a Map to What We Can Still Learn

by Russ Baker

Feb. 4, 2016


Exciting news: WhoWhatWhy has obtained the complete list of 3,603 secret
documents on the Kennedy assassination still being held by the US
government. (Or, to be precise, what it admits to still holding.)

Now we can at least get a peek at what they have been hiding.

The list was obtained in a Freedom of Information Act request by FOIA
specialist Michael Ravnitzky, who alerted us.

The complete list is below. You???ll note that some documents are briefly
characterized by subject, while others are less clearly identified.

The government has promised to release as many documents as possible in
October, 2017, the 25th anniversary of the JFK Records Act, in which
Congress mandated that all efforts be made to release everything in
Washington???s possession unless an overriding case can be made for
withholding in the national interest.

Some ??? perhaps most ??? of these documents could be released at that
time. Then again, they may be further withheld. The CIA in particular is
likely to argue that some are just too sensitive to be made public.

Still, knowing their subject matter makes it easier to press for
disclosure, and to hold the government accountable by insisting it justify
any continued withholdings.

Those who wish to look at the list should be forewarned that it???s a bit
like looking at hieroglyphics. Most of the names and brief references will
mean something only to a very few.

Among the documents that caught our eye:

??? Lee Harvey Oswald???s CIA ???201 File.??? 201 files contain
personality assessments

??? Records on David Morales, David Atlee Phillips, E. Howard Hunt,
William King Harvey and others considered by top researchers prime
suspects for participation in the planning and implementation of
Kennedy???s murder.

??? Documents on New Orleans oddball David Ferrie, District Attorney Jim
Garrison, Jackie Kennedy, members of the Warren Commission staff, Jack
Ruby, various anti-Castro Cubans and much much more.

??? Tax returns of Michael Paine, who with his wife Ruth provided housing
and more for the Oswalds ??? Ruth also got Lee a job in the Texas School
Book Depository ??? from which he purportedly shot Kennedy; Michael worked
for the defense contractor Bell Helicopter.

Thanks, News, for the News. Does that mean I can call you a Newsie?
But if Donald Trump were elected his very first executive action would
be to reclassify everything above Top Secret and destroy all the files.

Don't worry about top secret files. Just get Hillary Clinton to check her
emails.

[Anthony Marsh]

Ah, but they weren't Top Secret when they appeared on her server.
Some of the CIA files I got SHOULD have been Top Secret, but some dunce
did not understand the code words and accidentally declassified them.
After they realize their mistake they went back in an classified them

As of 2016, 22 emails were deemed "Top Secret".

Judicial Watch: New Emails Show Hillary Clinton and Aides Had Classified
Information on Non-Government Email Accounts

Hillary Clinton Forwarded Huma Abedin Classified Info. for Printing

(Washington, DC) - Judicial Watch today released nearly 70 pages of State
Department records that show that former Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton and her top aides, Deputy Chiefs of Staff Huma Abedin and Jake
Sullivan, received and sent classified information on their non-state.gov
email accounts. The documents, also available on the State Department
website, were obtained in response to a court order from a May 5, 2015,
lawsuit filed against the State Department (Judicial Watch, Inc. v. U.S.
Department of State (No. 1:15-cv-00684)) after it failed to respond to a
March 18 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking:

All emails of official State Department business received or sent by
former Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin from January 1, 2009 through
February 1, 2013 using a non-"state.gov" email address.

The new documents show that Hillary Clinton used the clintonemail.com
system to ask Huma Abedin (also on a non-state.gov email account) to print
two March 2011 emails, which were sent from former British Prime Minister
Tony Blair (using the moniker "aclb") to Jake Sullivan on Sullivan's
non-state.gov email account. The Obama State Department redacted the
Blair emails under Exemption (b)(1) which allows the withholding of
classified material. The material is marked as being classified as
"Foreign government information" and "foreign relations or foreign
activities of the US, including confidential sources."

Another email shows that Clinton wanted to know how meetings in
Washington, including a four-hour meeting concerning America's war on
Libya, would impact her Hampton vacation. Responding to an email that
details the sensitive meetings in DC, Clinton emails Abedin on August 26,
2011, "Ok. What time would I get back to Hamptons?" Again, this email
discussion takes place on non-state.gov email accounts.

The documents also include advice to Clinton on Libya from Sidney
Blumenthal, a Clinton Foundation employee who, according to a Judicial
Watch investigative report, also had business interests in Libya.
Clinton wanted Blumenthal's March 9, 2011, Libya memo to be printed
"without any identifiers."

The newly released Abedin emails include a lengthy exchange giving precise
details of Clinton's schedule using unsecured government emails. The email
from Lona J. Valmoro, former Special Assistant to Secretary of State
Clinton, to Abedin and Clinton reveals exact times (including driving
times) and locations of all appointments throughout the day. Another
itinerary email provides details about a meeting at the United Nations in
New York at 3:00 on Tuesday, January 31, 2012, with the precise
disclosure, "that would mean wheels up from Andrews at approximately
12:00pm/12:15pm."

"These emails show that Hillary Clinton isn't the only Obama official who
should be worried about being prosecuted for mishandling classified
information. Her former top State aides (and current campaign advisers)
Huma Abedin and Jake Sullivan should be in the dock, as well," said
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "The Obama State Department has now
confirmed that Clinton, Abedin, and Sullivan used unsecured,
non-government email accounts to communicate information that should now
be withheld from the American people 'in the interest of national defense
or foreign policy, and properly classified.' When can we expect the
indictments?"

Issa: FBI "Has No Choice"; Must Indict Clinton

The FBI "really has no choice" but to recommend an indictment against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, according to former House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif., shown). His statement echoes Tom DeLay's claim last week that the FBI is "ready to indict."

Clinton has spent the last several months attempting to dodge the fallout from the scandal surrounding her use of a private, unsecured e-mail server during the six years she spent as secretary of state. Her dodges have run the gamut from denial ("I never sent or received any e-mail that was deemed classified, that was marked classified") to flippancy (claiming that the classified information that she did send and receive wasn't really classified because there's "a difference of opinion" between intelligence agencies that has "nothing to do with" her) to a recent counterattack (accusing the State Department and others of withholding for political reasons those e-mails that reportedly contain highly classified information).

As her denials, flippancy, and counterattacks continue -- and continue to fail -- the scandal is catching up to her. And it appears that she may soon face some very serious charges. Last week The New American reported that Tom DeLay appeared on Newsmax TV's The Steve Malzberg Show and said, "I have friends that are in the FBI and they tell me they're ready to indict." Earlier that week we reported that the Intelligence Community Inspector (IG) sent a letter dated January 14 to the chairmen of the Senate Intelligence and Foreign Relations Committees, as well as to the heads of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the State Department's inspector general in which he says, "To date, I have received two sworn declarations from one [intelligence community] element. These declarations cover several dozen emails containing classified information determined by the IC element to be at the confidential, secret, and top secret/sap levels." The IG's claims were soon confirmed as the State Department withheld 22 e-mails from the most recent release, saying that they contain information that is Top Secret and so sensitive that not even redacted versions will be released.

Most recently, Darrell Issa appeared on FOX News' The Intelligence Report and said that given the evidence, FBI Director James Comey "really has no choice but to refer this for indictment" against Clinton. As he told FOX's Trish Regan:

We have communications back and forth to the President from Hillary Clinton's private email, we have 1,300 sensitive documents -- 22 classified at the highest level -- this is well past anyone claiming that they didn't know.

The "1,300 sensitive documents" Issa was referring to are the 1,340 classified e-mails that were released (many of them redacted to protect government secrets) in late January. That figure was based on only 83 percent of the total of Clinton's e-mails and does not include the most recent release from which the " 22 classified at the highest level" were withheld.

His point that "this is well past anyone claiming that they didn't know" is at the heart of the matter. As this writer said when it was revealed that at least 1,340 of Clinton's e-mails contained information classified at the highest levels:

It is now known that at least 1,340 e-mails sent or received by Clinton contained information that was classified and several dozen of those e-mails contained intelligence that was classified at the highest levels. That means -- based on an extrapolation of the number of e-mails released so far -- that of the 1,470 days that she served as secretary of state, Clinton sent or received classified information over her unsecured network an average of more than once a day.

It would be difficult to believe that Clinton failed -- on an average of at least once a day -- to recognize sensitive, classified information that was traveling back and forth across her private network and in and out of her private e-mail account. Whatever else can be said of her, she is not stupid. As Issa said in his FOX News interview:

The one thing about Hillary Rodham Clinton that I know -- having worked with her -- is she is smart and she knows what she sees. And that works well for her in her job, but it also makes her very much responsible when she traffics in sensitive information that should not have been on an unclassified sever -- should never have been on hers.

While much of the focus has been on the fact that Clinton passed classified information over an unsecured server, Issa pointed out that, as bad as that is, there is more to it:

These are documents that are not only highly classified, but she took them from government. Let's not forget when she left government, she didn't leave a copy. She took it all. So, it's taking and holding classified documents.

In answer to Clinton's claims that the investigation and calls for an indictment are politically motivated (political theater, as FOX's Trish Regan put it), Issa made a comparison to the investigation into Benghazi:

Well, I understand that she [Mrs. Clinton] says it has no more relevance than Benghazi. And she's right; it is just as relevant as four people dying unnecessarily because of her mismanagement. In this case, she made a choice. She made a choice to have a private server, she made a choice to use it with highly sensitive material, she made a choice to receive and re-transmit documents that should have been classified when they came to her and have later been classified. These choices are really what the prosecution would be about.

He added that "as somebody who has a head full of classified information, Hillary Clinton has an obligation to be able to not disseminate that information."

Issa said that because "[FBI Director Comey] is somebody who cares a great deal about national security and with the body of evidence, he really has no choice but to refer this for indictment."

As an indictment appears to be on the near horizon, the investigation -- involving more than 150 FBI agents -- has grown to include the improper relationship between the Clinton Foundation and Clinton's State Department. The New American wrote about some of the elements of that improper relationship (now there's a phrase the Clintons should be familiar with) in a previous article. This writer addressed the fact that Huma Abedin, during her time at the State Department, had a "special government employee" arrangement that allowed her to work other jobs. And that:

At one point she [Abedin] held four jobs simultaneously. All of those jobs were connected, in one way or another, to Hillary Clinton. She was part time aide to Hillary Clinton at the State Department, personal assistant to Hillary Clinton, salaried employee of the Clinton Foundation, and private consultant for Teneo Holdings, which was founded by three partners all with close ties to the Clintons.

That article was written fairly early in the game (late August), when only a few e-mails had been released. Even then, though, it was clear that something fishy was going on at the State Department under Clinton's "leadership." While Clinton and her protégé Abedin claimed to want all the e-mails released publicly, they took great pains to keep many of them from ever seeing the light of day. That article concluded by saying:

No wonder Hillary and her protégé wanted those e-mails kept private. If the few e-mails seen so far are any indication, there was some personal business going on at State on the taxpayers' dime, and Hillary and her friends are in for a long, bumpy ride. That ride may end many of them in jail.

At the time, many said that an indictment was a long shot. What a difference five months can make.
