Not that I give a sh!t at this point, but I wonder why nobody ever discussed Bobby's mob hearings? They did this after they had gone to such pains to throw Illinois to Jack. Kennedy bungled more than Bay of Pigs; the mob lost some of their guys in the attempt to get Castro.
It wasn't just screwing up, or biting the hand that fed it. It was a betrayal, and no self-respecting gangster could allow. Was Johnson in on it? It's not hard suspect he did, though perhaps in some remote, passive way--selective blindness and informed ignorance.
The general counsel of the House Select Committee on Assassinations recounted the arrest and deportation of mob boss Carlos Marcello on the basis of his bogus passpart (either Guatemalan or Costa Rican, I can’t remember; in reality he was Italian). It’s likely that it was that event that started the wheels turning.
Oswald, like David Ferrie, had worked for Marcello’s lawyer.
Johnson barely sobered up enough to think about things, but he also wasn’t too bright. The purportedly conflicting ideas he expressed over the years about who killed JFK don’t speak to anything but his own mystification.
