I have some info to add regarding the McCain/Hensley ties to Mafia activities. I am still digging/refreshing my memory. I was reminded of the story of Don Bolles.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Bolles
“On June 2, 1976, Bolles left behind a short note in his office typewriter explaining he would meet with an informant, then go to a luncheon meeting, and be back about 1:30 p.m. He was responsible for covering a routine hearing at the State Capitol, and planned to attend a movie with second wife Rosalie Kasse that night in celebration of their eighth wedding anniversary. The source promised information on a land deal involving top state politicians and possibly the mob. A wait of several minutes in the lobby of the Hotel Clarendon (now known as the Clarendon Hotel) was concluded with a call for Bolles himself to the front desk, where the conversation lasted no more than two minutes. Bolles then exited the hotel, his car in the adjacent parking lot just south of the hotel on Fourth Avenue.
Apparently, Bolles started the car, even moving a few feet, before a remote-controlled bomb consisting of six sticks of dynamite taped to the underside of the car beneath the driver’s seat was detonated; the explosion shattered his lower body, opened the driver’s door, and left him mortally wounded while half outside the vehicle. Both legs and one arm were amputated over a ten-day stay in St. Joseph’s Hospital; the eleventh day was the reporter’s last. However, his last words after being found in the parking lot the day of the bombing included “John Adamson”, “Emprise” and “Mafia”,[5] and he had left a note by his typewriter reading: “John Adamson. Lobby at 11:15. Clarendon House. 4th + Clarendon.”[6]”
Due to the murder of Don Bolles a group of his colleagues began the “Arizona Project.”
“His shocked IRE colleagues reacted in a way unprecedented and never copied since. They descended on Arizona for a massive investigation. They set out to find not Bolles’ killer, but the sources of corruption so deep that a reporter could be killed in broad daylight in the middle of town. They were out to show organized crime leaders that killing a journalist would not stop reportage about them; it would increase it 100-fold.
The project was exceedingly controversial and remains so. The New York Times and The Washington Post, giants in the business, chose not to participate. Some journalists, including IRE members, disliked the idea of reporters on a crusade.”

Wow! I have never heard of this guy or this story before.
I read the article at the link. I have heard of his brother.
Thanks for the refresher!
Nice to know some of them could care redemptively about such evils striking one of their own.
Thank-you. My approach from different direction to tie into generally’s study to Holly Bronfman.
What types of business do we normally associate with the mob?
Alcohol/drugs, sex trafficking, gambling, horsetracks, RICO, labor unions etc.
The “war hero” mixed up with those and worse?
Money laundering >CF money inflow stopped redirected to No Name Institute?
No name and Flake involvement with the controversial Resolution Copper land swap(Flat Creek and Apache Leap Ntl park) to the Aussie’s and UK? 25% US copper to Aussies.
Probably more.
That’s horrible!
