US Releases Most John F. Kennedy Assassination Files But Delays Others | Morning Joe

MIKA WANTS TO SEE IF TED CRUZ' FATHER --
>> I'M ON TO THE ENDZ EDGE OF MY SEAT.
DOCUMENTS FROM THE KENNEDY PROBE WAS PARTIALLY DELAYED AFTER A
1992 LAW MANDATED THE RELEASE OF 3,000 DOCUMENTS INFALL FULL.
LATE IN THE EVENING, PRESIDENT TRUMP HELD BACK AND SAID
SCHOLARS WERE MOST EAGER TO SEE, AS FOR WHAT WAS RELEASED, IMAGES
OF CIA UNDER SURVEILLANCE PHOTOS FROM THE EARLY 1960s.
A DECEMBER 1963 VISITORS LOG FROM PRESIDENT LYNDON JOHNSON'S
RANCH IN TEXAS, THAT INCLUDED A CIA OFFICER AND REPORTS THAT LEE
HARVEY OSWALD OBTAINED AMMUNITION FROM A MILITIA GROUP
AND FBI J. EDGAR HOOVER DICTATED AFTER OZ WALD WAS SHOT, QUOTE,
THERE IS NOTHING FURTHER ON THE OSWALD CASE EXCEPT THAT HE IS
DEAD. AMONG THE DOCUMENT, APPARENTLY
NOT IN THE RELEASE, IN THE FILE ON THE HEAD OF THE DALLAS CIA
OFFICE OF 1963, THE BUSINESSMAN WHO MET WITH JACK RUBY JUST
BEFORE HE SHOT OSWALD AND NOTORIOUS ANTI-CASTRO CUBAN
EXILES. >> EUGENE ROBINSON, FOR THOSE
FOLLOWING THIS AND READING ABOUT IT AND LOOKING AT IT.
>> FASCINATED BY IT. >> FASCINATED BY IT, WANTING TO
GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT. OF COURSE, I THINK EVERYONE
THAT'S LOOKED AT THIS SERIES BELIEVED OSWALD ACTED ALONE THAT
SAID, THE KILLING OF JACK RUBY IS THE ONE THING THAT HAS JUST
BEEN THE IRRITANT, THAT HAS NOT ALLOWED MANY, TO PUT THIS.
I'M WONDERING WHY THEY'RE WITH HOLING THE JACK RUBY
INFORMATION? >> YOU KNOW, THAT'S A GOOD
QUESTION. THERE WAS A POLL RECENTLY THAT
SAID SOMETHING LIKE MORE THAN HALF, SOMETHING LIKE 61% OF
AMERICANS BELIEVE THERE WAS SOME SORT OF CONSPIRACY INVOLVED IN
THE ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT KENNEDY.
I'M NOT ONE OF THEM. I BELIEVE OZ WALD ACTED ALONE IN
THE ASSASSINATIONS, BY WITHHOLDING THESE 300 DOCUMENTS
YET AGAIN, WHAT THE GOVERNMENT HAS DONE IS ESSENTIALLY GIVE
MORE FUEL TO THE CONSPIRACY THEORIES GOING ON FOR 50 YEARS,
FOR LONGER THAN THAT, IT'S CRAZY AND WHAT I THINK ISMIND BEHIND
IT IS THE OLD CIA, THE CIA AND THE FBI TRYING TO COVER UP THEIR
MISTAKES, THE FACT THEY KNEW MORE ABOUT OZ WALD THAN THEY
HAVE TOLD US BEFORE THE ASSASSINATION AND THE
IMPLICATION IS THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING.
>> RIGHT T. QUESTION, HEIDI, WHY WOULD YOU WITHHOLD THE DOCUMENT
IT WAS A PERTAINING TO BUSINESS PERSON THAT MET WITHIAC RUBY
RIGHT BEFORE HE KILLED OSWALD? >> WELL, I GUESS BASED ON WHAT
I'VE READ, THE PROBLEM FROM THE VERY BEENING HAS BEEN THE OVER
CLASSIFICATION OF THE DOCUMENTS. NONE OF US CAN SPECULATE.
BUT I KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT JUST KIND OF LIKE SOME FRINGE PROBLEM
OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN CONSPIRACY THEORIES BECAUSE FROM THE VERY
BEGINNING SO MUCH WAS WITHHELD. I TALKED TO MY PARENTS, FOR
EXAMPLE, L LAST NIGHT, OBVIOUSL I WASN'T AROUND FOR THIS I
CONSIDER THEM VERY EDUCATED AND INFORMED PEOPLE, WHO ARE NOT
PRONE TO CONSPIRACY THEORIES AND SAY WHY DO YOU THINK THIS HAS
BEEN THE CASE FOR SO MANY YEARS? MY MOM SAID WELL, HE KIND OF
FELL FORWARD AND BASED ON THE DIRECTION THAT HARVEY OSWALD WAS
STANDING, HE SHOULDN'T HAVE FALLEN FORWARD, HE SHOULD HAVE
FALLEN BACK. THERE IS SOMETHING AROUND SO
LONG AND BY THE FACT THAT THEY'RE STILL WITHHOLDING THESE,
I THINK IT WILL CONTINUE. I GUESS THEY HAVE ANOTHER SIX
MONTHS FOR THESE TO COME OUT, IS THAT WHAT THE DECISION WAS?
>> YEAH. ALL OF OUR PARENTS, DONNY, MY
PARENTS, I WON'T TELL YOU WHO MY DAD SAID KILLED JFK.
GET ON, JOE, YOU WILL FIND OUT, FILL IN THE PLANK KILLED JFK.
BUT, YEAH, IT SEEMS TO ME, GET IT ALL OUT THERE.
AND WHAT NATIONAL SECURITY SECRETS ARE YOU PROTECTING 54
YEARS LATER? IT'S RIDICULOUS.
>> I WILL BE SITTING, LOOK, I'M A BIG OLIVER STONE FAN, I SAW
THE MOVIE. >> IT WAS THE BILLY GOAT.
C'MON. >> CAN I BE SIPPICAL FOR A
SECOND, WE HAVE A COMMANDER IN CHIEF A SHINY TOY LOOK OVER
HERE, MAYBE HE'S KEEPING IT IN HIS POCKET FOR A MONTH OR A DAY
TO KIND OF GO, NO, NO, LOOK OVER HERE, YOU SAY, WHY NOT NOW?
PARTICULARLY A GUY WHO YOU WOULD SEE, HE WOULD BE THE FIRST ONE
TO SAY, LOOK WHAT HAPPENED OVER THERE, SO MAYBE HE'S SAVING IT
FOR A RAINY DAY. >> WE ALSO HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO
HAS DABBLEING CONSPIRACY
THEORIES, BIRTHERRISM, HE WAS A TRIEFG FORCE BEHIND THAT WE SAW
THE FOOTAGE OF HIM FLOATING THE IDEA THAT TED CRUZ' FATHER WAS
INVOLVED. THERE IS NO STHAUGS IN THESE
DOCUMENTS HE WILL FULFILL TRUMP'S THOUGHTS ABOUT TED CRUZ
OR HIS DAD, THIS IS SOMETHING, LONG PLANNED TO BE RELEASED
YESTERDAY AND TRUMP, OF COURSE, TOOK CREDIT FAR AS HE WANTS TO
DO, FOR SAY, UNHAVE A TILL SHROUD, HERE'S ALL THE SECRETS,
AT THE LAST MINUTE, WE'LL SAVE SOME BACK FOR APRIL.
>> WELL, YOU KNOW. >> HE LOVES KEEPING PEOPLE
HANGING. >> THERE HAS BEEN THIS
CONSPIRACY FOR SOME TIME. YOU LOOK AT 2017 WHEN CONSPIRACY
THEORIES ABOUND. I SAW A SICK ONE YESTERDAY,
PEOPLE HARASSING THOSE THAT WERE SHOT AT AND ALMOST KILLED IN
NEVADA AT THE LAS VEGAS SHOOTING.
>> OH, WHAT? >> NOW BEING TARGET AND BULLY
AND HARASSED AND THREATENED ON FACEBOOK, ON TWITTER, YOU ARE
TRAGEDY ACTORS, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
IT'S A SICKNESS, THIS IS ANOTHER THING, TOO.
