‘Can we trust people that work in government?’: Joe Concha
Washington Examiner columnist Joe Concha criticized government officials Thursday for seemingly withholding information from Americans in light of the Central Intelligence Agency reportedly taking files regarding the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy.
The files, which were in the process of being declassified, were allegedly taken from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s office, according to Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL).
Concha argued that the situation highlights public distrust and government secrecy.
“You wonder, ‘Can we trust our government now at this point? Can we trust people that work in government at this point?’” Concha said on Fox Buisness’s The Evening Edit.
Concha said the JFK assassination has been on the minds of Americans for more than 60 years.
“Still, many people do not trust the fact that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone shooter in that particular assassination,” Concha said. He added that the CIA allegedly taking documents that were going to be declassified raises red flags.
“This could have broken something that maybe dispelled the fact that Lee Harvey Oswald was that lone shooter,” Concha said.
He said Americans need clarity on why the files were reportedly taken, why the CIA was involved, and who ordered the files to be taken, and he asked, “Why can’t we get the truth?”
“People have questions in terms of why isn’t the government explaining things to us in a way that’s transparent, honest, and truthful? It’s a whole bowl of wrong,” Concha said.
