O’Reilly’s got a new book out killing the mob. He claims that the mob were running this country AND Cuba, more powerful than the government through the unions, and Kennedy STOPPEd that. Bobby Kennedy specifically but JFK was the one that put him there as AG. So Kennedy was not unsuccessful due to personal shortcomings, it was because he got his brains blown out, and (according to O’Really) was actually quite successful, in his limited time.
Then Reagan was also very successful, his biggest success coming when he survived the assassin’s bullet. HE had a funny looking little fellow with a funny name Rudolph Giuliani and he took a further wrecking ball to the mob. So I think the mob is part of the deep state.
IIRC, Nancy Pelosi’s father, who was mayor of Baltimore at one time, had many friends in the mob. He could have been a member himself.
