I always thought is was the Mafia....The teamsters delivered the electoral in votes Illinois to Kennedy which put him over the top. As soon as he takes the Oath of Office, Bobby starts the "War on Organized Crime". Kind of a slap in the face to the Mafia for putting Kennedy in the White House.

The mafia, the UAW, and the Teamsters delivered the votes in the WVA primary that put JFK ahead of frontrunner Humphrey.. The mafia calling shots through control of the pension funds.

Here's the motive if you want to go this way. Giancano got fed up after Bobby had Marcello grabbed off the street in New Orleans and released in the mountains of, I think, Guatamala without wallet or money.

Giancano sent Johhny Roselli (the same guy who was going to deliver the poison gigars to Castro)and another guy to the Kennedy compound in late 1962 to ask Joe to talk to the boys about who got them into office.

Joe said he would, when the family was together at Christmas. Before then, Joe had the bad stroke and supposedly the discussion never took place.
