The revelation paints Pompeo, often seen as a staunch conservative and Trump loyalist, in a new light. Here was a man, once at the helm of the CIA, now accused of begging Trump to keep the lid on information that could potentially reveal the agency’s darkest secrets. “He said that Mike Pompeo begged him, called him, and said, ‘This would be a catastrophe to release these,’” RFK Jr. recounted, highlighting a moment where national security concerns might have clashed with the public’s right to know.
This incident raises critical questions about transparency and the role of intelligence agencies in American democracy. Why would the release of files related to an event from 1963 be considered a “catastrophe”? The answer, according to conservative commentators, lies in the fear of exposing not just the CIA’s possible involvement in JFK’s death but also the broader implications of such an admission on the credibility of the U.S. government.
The deep state has much to lose from the truth coming to light. The JFK assassination, with its myriad conspiracy theories, has become a symbol of government overreach and secrecy. RFK Jr.’s statement adds fuel to the fire, suggesting that even under a president like Trump, who campaigned on draining the swamp, the deep state’s tentacles could still influence policy.The conservative perspective here isn’t just about uncovering historical truths, but about challenging the narrative control held by those in power. For many on the right, this episode with Pompeo and Trump exemplifies why there’s a distrust in institutions. If figures like Pompeo, seen as part of the conservative establishment, are allegedly involved in suppressing information, it begs the question: who can the public trust?
This revelation also comes at a time when trust in media and government is at an all-time low. Conservatives argue that such secrecy only breeds more conspiracy, further eroding public faith. The call for transparency, therefore, isn’t just about JFK; it’s about restoring faith in American institutions by ensuring they operate under the scrutiny of the people they serve. 

RFK Jr.’s endorsement of Trump, coupled with this disclosure, might be seen as a strategic move to leverage Trump’s potential return to power for a cause that’s deeply personal yet resonates with a broader conservative base yearning for truth over obfuscation. As the political landscape continues to evolve, this episode serves as a stark reminder of the battles between transparency and secrecy, between the people’s right to know and the government’s perceived need to protect its image.

“We are going to take back this country. We are going to make it great again, we’re going to make it healthy again,” he declared to the crowd. “Of the two choices that we have, and we only have two, President Trump is the man that can get us there.”
