    I was unaware “what happened to JFK” was actually a major ask from the RFK-curious crowd. Don’t they have more current conspiracy theories they want answers to?

      It’s RFK Jr himself that’s probably asking for it. He’s said in the past he knows the CIA is behind the killing of his uncle. Says the CIA had him killed because JFK didn’t provide air support for bay of pigs and it pissed the CIA off. RFK claims he has proof but no one takes him serious or something.

          Well in this case, JFK fired CIA Director Dulles for the Bay of Pigs debacle. You’re right about the CIA being responsible for overseas assassinations. Dulles was involved with coups and assassinations in Guatemala and Iran. However, in the case of JFK, he made an exception and facilitated a domestic assassination since the case of his firing was personal.

        The CIA has been dragging their feet on this. And while the President can order them to do this, the CIA probably has a video of the assassination that they shot from another angle that nobody else has seen yet just to make a point about who actually is in charge of the country.
