If there is anything really damning that happened, there is no reason it will be revealed, ever, or that documents about it still exist.

Why should they? Who is doing full constant oversight of whole CIA that has always upper hand above them to make it happen? Sorry but this is just a pipe dream, just look how that agency behaved when SHTF. Boeing kills whistleblowers despite literally whole world seeing what a shitshow that company is now. That's just effin Boeing, not folks who can kill almost anybody anywhere and not caring about consequences.

It's promising that RFK Jr could potentially be in a future administration and push to declassify these documents[1]. It would really only take an executive order. He probably has enough of a chip on his shoulder to accomplish this.

I think parents point is you can't declassify documents that no longer exist. IIRC many of the CIA's more heinous acts only have documentation because some one misfiled them allowing them to escape intentional destruction.

Backups have a way of appearing that surprise those who try to destroy evidence.
