Folks, this is not a sudden or unexpected development. In 1992, Congress ruled that all assassination documents can be released within 25 years, unless the president asserts that doing so would harm intelligence, law enforcement, military operations, or foreign relations. The 25-year deadline expires on Oct. 26. Trump has simply decided not to block the scheduled release. I give him credit for not blocking the release; but this is not a case that he's suddenly decided to share some long-hidden information. It was going to happen unless the President (whoever that happened to be in 2017) blocked it.
I will be very interested to see if they shed any new light on the assassination. It's the first big public news event that I was really aware of in my life. (I remember air raid drills in school during the Cuban Missile Crisis, but it wasn't until much later that I connected the drills with the crisis.)
