Serious question about JFK files still being classified
Everyone says the government already released everything on JFK. But I dug through the National Archives last month and found 3,000+ documents still redacted or withheld. The 1992 JFK Act was supposed to release all records by 2017. That deadline came and went. Why do people keep pretending it's all out there?

@betty_white39 has a point but maybe they just haven't prioritized those last documents.

People keep pretending because it's easier than admitting the government is still hiding stuff. Three thousand documents is a lot to just shrug off, that's clear evidence something's not out. The 1992 Act had teeth but no one enforced it, so here we are. Those redacted pages probably have names or methods they still don't want public. Makes you wonder what's so sensitive after 60 years.
