Obama could not.
In 2016, they were under Grand Jury Seal and could not be opened without formal legal petitions and judicial approval.

I'm sure they could have shopped for a friendly federal judge

Chapman died at age 60 (nothing mysterious) in 1991. I see that much of the conspiracy literature describes him as a "forensic scientist," perhaps to disguise that his expertise was medical (he was a medical examiner and pathologist). However, I did find one newspaper article describing him as an expert in ballistics. He was not a fan of the Magic Bullet, referring to it as "utter rubbish" (https://www.archives.gov/files/research/rfk/releases/2025/0612/00419462_newspaper_articles_concer_104-10068-10053.pdf).

There seems to be remarkably little discussion of his claims regarding CE 543. Michael Kurtz, in Crime of the Century, claimed that CE 557, an FBI test shell, confirmed Chapman's claims: "The F.B.I. also reproduced the effect. Commission Exhibit 557 is a test cartridge case, fired empty from Oswald's rifle by the F.B.I. for ballistics comparison purposes. It, too, contains the dent in the lip and deep primer impression similar to Case 543." (557 can't be right. He must be referring to 559, which is what Charles has posted. https://www.history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh17/html/WH_Vol17_0138b.htm.)




Thanks for the reply. Maybe I need to do some research on CE 557 and/or CE 559.

The people who sealed them could unseal them if they chose. That would be the Obama administration. My guess is they were trying to protect Biill Clinton. Not that the Obamas and Clintons had any great love for each other but Obama would have done that for the good of the party. Anything damaging to Bill would have had collateral damage to Hillary.

Obama could not.

JFK Assassination Plus General Discussion And Debate / Re: The best evidence Ferrie and Clay Shaw were close acquaintences
« Last post by Lance Payette on Yesterday at 12:43:48 PM »
Man of a Million Fragments: The True Story of Clay Shaw by Donald H. Carpenter is so fantastically detailed that it becomes tedious. As with Oswald, there simply wasn't sufficient "missing time" in his life for him to have done all the things he supposedly did. New Orleans being what it was, and Shaw and Ferrie having gay proclivities, it's conceivable they were once in the same room together (e.g., some party or gathering) but the idea of close acquaintances is belied by all the evidence. Carpenter follows through on the main Ferrie claims, and they just don't pan out. Why can't people just let go of these dead ends?

Not if "former" KGB counterintelligence officer Vladimir Putin and/or his predecessors -- aided by Ghislaine's dad -- had made sure that high-powered Republicans *and* high-powered Democrats were implicated.

D'oh!

Another example of PDS.

If the Epstein files had anything damaging to Trump, Biden's puppet masters would definitely have leaked them in October of 2024. The one politician most likely to have been tarred by the Epstein files was Bill Clinton and leaking that material would not have helped Kamala. Of course, she was such a loseer, I doubt anything could have helped her.

I'd love to see Kamala nominated again in 2028, with AOC as her running mate, but I doubt even the Dems are that dumb. The Dems have found a winning formula. Nominate a far left socialist and have them run as a moderate Democrat, then after they get elected, they show their true colors. I don't think they could pull that off if the pick Kamala again.

Here are two highly magnified photographs (taken through a microscope) by the FBI firearms experts. On the left side of each image is the primer of the test cartridge, and on the right side of each image is the primer of CE 543.








The FBI experts identified CE 543 as being fired in the Carcano rifle found on the sixth floor of the TSBD on 11/22/63 by viewing the magnified cartridge primers through the microscope and comparing them. I do not see how CE 543’s primer would not be deformed by subsequent dry-firing with the rifle. I believe that this deformation would be obvious and would make CE 543 so different that the FBI would not be able to identify it as being fired in the rifle. Just look at the first image in the original post above that shows two cartridges that were dry-fired once and twice respectively. The primers in both cartridges look quite different than the one that was only fired once and never dry-fired.

No, I don't believe either of those two things. I just suspect there is truth to the claim by Pena that Shaw and Ferrie were associates.

If you don't believe in either of those scenarios, what does it matter if Ferrie and Shaw went dancing every evening?
