And he bought an oil company (Zapata oil) in 1960, the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion was codenamed “Operation Zapata” and his oil rigs were used as radio towers in the invasion, then the SEC accidentally destroyed all their records on the company from 1960 to 1966. Then he was in Dallas when JFK was killed there and lied about it. And later he was close friends with the Hinkley family, one of which tried to kill Reagan. Come on man, this isn’t just some rich guy who got lucky and became President.
This was a wicked, wicked man.
