  Weird how the mafia kept their word but politicians who are supposed to be the good honest guys went back on theirs. 😂

  If you read the detailed memoirs of Frank Ragano who was Santo Trafficante&apos;s lawyer, he was present at the meeting of the Bosses when the &quot;hit&quot; was placed on Jack Kennedy, and again afterwards at the celebratory dinner after the assassination. &nbsp;<br>Jack Ruby who worked for both Bosses Carlos Marcello and Santo Trafficante, was chosen to do the hit on Oswald because he had terminal cancer with a predicted less than 6 months left to live. After the assassination, Robert Kennedy&apos;s legal pursuit, attempted arrests and harassment of the Mob abruptly ended. &nbsp;<br>J. Edgar Hoover, who knowingly and willingly accepted free hotel and resort vacations at Mob-owned businesses, as well as free meals at Mob-owned restaurants and was given the names of the winning horses at Mob-owned racetracks ahead of the races, so that he always won his bets, sabotaged any investigations and refused to pursue criminal charges against any of the Mob Bosses, during his tenure as FBI Chief. &nbsp;Trafficante would brag about having Hoover &quot;in his back pocket&quot; because of their ability to blackmail Hoover about his h*m*sexual activities.

  I can&apos;t take a documentary seriously when they referred to Oswald as the lone shooter, and saying only three shots were fired .. 🤔🤔🕵🏻🕵🏻🔫🔫🧠🧠🧠

  growing up in Tampa in the 60&apos;s and 70&apos;s was exciting, it was &nbsp;a wide open town like Dodge City on a Saturday night, 7 days a week. It was one of the bloodiest towns in America during the 30&apos;s

  This is the best a documentary I have ever seen. I had no idea the jack ruby was going back-and-forth to Cuba like that. I also had no idea Giancana was killed right before testifying.

  I respect Lucky. He was a man of his word. And smart too. The government went to him for help on the docks during the war!!

  My best friend dated Al Capon’s grandson Frankie, he was very nice and treated her well. This was in the early 60’s. Too bad he had such a violent Grandfather.
