Justice Dept: National-Security Lawyers Must Review JFK Documents

The U.S. Justice Department is ordering some of its lawyers who handle sensitive national-security matters to urgently review records from the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy that are due be released on Tuesday, according to an email seen by Reuters.

Christopher Robinson, a National Security Division official, announced that "all" attorneys who work in the Operations Section of the Office of Intelligence are being ordered to review between 400 and 500 documents each, according to a Monday evening email seen by Reuters on Tuesday.

It is not clear whether that would interfere with the lawyers' regular work, which includes filing court requests under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to monitor foreigners on U.S. soil.

A Justice Department spokesman said that "no FISA work was halted" as a result of the review.

Robinson imposed a deadline of noon Tuesday to complete the review, which includes records related to the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, as well as Robert F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr., and "possibly others." Trump has ordered roughly 80,000 pages of material related to Kennedy's assassination to be released, along with government records related to the assassinations of former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and civil-rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. He previously signed an executive order in January, prompting the FBI to search for thousands of records.

"There is an urgent declassification review of documents related to the JFK, RFK, MLK investigations (and possibly others)," Robinson wrote to the attorneys in the Office of Intelligence, adding that the only people exempt from the assignment are those who are on approved leave.

"Everyone is being asked to review a batch of documents (between 400-500 each)," he said.

Robinson said that FBI agents have already reviewed some of those files as part of the declassification review.

Last week, some FBI agents were ordered to stop working on their usual cases so that they could review files related to the 1968 assassination of former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, a person briefed on the matter told Reuters.

The Operations Section of the Office of Intelligence is in charge of preparing and filing warrant applications with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to collect communications of foreigners on domestic soil.

Former department attorneys said the decision to require all of the attorneys from the Office of Intelligence Operations Section to handle the declassification review is highly unusual, and could undermine legitimate national security work.

"If the commitment of such resources came at the expense of processing FISA applications, that would be to the detriment of U.S. national security interests," said David Laufman, the former chief of the Justice Department's Counterintelligence and Export Control Section.

John F. Kennedy's murder has been attributed to a sole gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald. The Justice Department and other federal government bodies later reaffirmed that conclusion.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who now leads the Department of Health and Human Services, has alleged without evidence that the Central Intelligence Agency was involved. The CIA has repeatedly denied the claim.

He has also claimed his father was killed by multiple gunmen, a claim contradicted by official accounts.

..is running out.

Burnout may be the word I'm looking for.

Tired of POTUS doing the right thing, just to see some shitty ass judge think he has more power than POTUS and make demands of POTUS.

Getting real tired of it.

Gunna go get me a glass of mead and enjoy the day instead of waiting around to see if anything BIG happens.

I though JFK files would brighten spririts some, but now this has come out: >>22781439

>>22781562

So DOJ didn't have people looking it over when POTUS first mentioned releasing, and it sat on Bondi's desk for the past 2 or 3 weeks?

I call bullshit on this one.

THEIR BRINGING BACK THE BEST CLASSES!!!

Texas Students Could Soon Learn Real Gun Safety in School

High school students in the state of Texas could elect to take a class on gun safety as early as next school year if a bill under consideration gets signed into law by Gov. Greg Abbott.

HB 1085 will get its first hearing in the House Committee on Public Education today, and bill author Rep. Pat Curry is hoping that the measure will receive support from both the public and his colleagues.

“It’s beneficial to have physical education that supports outdoor activities and can teach about guns and gun safety," Curry said.

The gun safety course would also set a path for hunter safety.

“For children who want to get into hunting, you are required to get a license once you are 16 years old to complete a hunter safety course in the state of Texas and many states by the way," Curry said. "That hunter safety course in Texas transfers for the rest of your life.”

Representative Curry says the courses would all depend on the parent’s approval.

Under Curry's proposal, the state Board of Education, in consultation with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, would develop curriculum requirementes for a "lifetime recreation and outdoor pursuits" elective class that includes a hunter education component, which would satisfy a physical education requirement. As Curry says, students and parents would have to opt-in to the class, so any mom or dad who preferred to take an abstinence-based approach to teaching their kids gun safety could still do so.

Considering the outrageous lessons being taught in mandatory classes in progressive bastions like northern Virginia, Curry's proposal is a breath of fresh air, and one that should find favor among all but the most ardent anti-gun lawmakers in Austin.

It's too late for this session, but there's another way to introduce high school students to genuine gun safety that legislators in the Lone Star State should back as well: adding trap shooting to the list of sports governed by the University Interscholastic League. Currently, about 30 school districts across Texas participate in the Texas State High School Clay Target League, the state affiliate of the USA Clay Target League. The sport isn't sanctioned or recognized as an accredited athletic activity by the UIL which is run under the auspices of the Vice President for Diversity and Community Engagement at the University of Texas at Austin. If the University Interscholastic League won't agree to adding trap shooting to the list of sports that it oversees, maybe the legislature should get involved and bring the governance of all high school athletics under a non-partisan organization that won't let anti-gun bias stand in the way of bringing one of the fastest-growing high school sports to schools across the state.

Curry's current bill is a great step towards teaching high schoolers genuine gun safety, but those same lessons can be taught on the range in a safe and fun setting, and there's no reason why these students shouldn't have multiple options to learn how to be safe and responsible with a firearm under the supervision of vetted and trained adults.
