I subscribe specifically for content like this. Thank you! Please tell-- what could Hoffa have known about the Kennedy Assassination? He seems to be an unlikely repository of info, given his conflicts with RFK.

also, you dare to countersignal my effortpost on grifter Tom Clancy and then praise my esoteric spergout on Jimmy Hoffa in a movie 30 years ago? you're not giving me clear guidance on where to focus my 'tism lasers.

The Clancy piece was great, it’s just that a piece of me died while reading it.

Similarly, I felt like I was killing my teenage self while writing it. I know what you're talking about. Them feels are reals.

Well, as usual, there's more to the story.

I did an interview with LBJ's secret service agent Mike Howard a few years ago, one that I've never published or haven't yet at least, and he said that RFK and Hoffa regularly met on the tarmac of airports for secret meetings. Howard said the agents didn't know what was said, but they said it was very odd and suspicious.

I also think that Hoffa likely knew the truth about involvement from, and details related to, Carlos Marcello, Sam Giancana, Santo Trafficante, Johnny Roselli. Quite a few people got killed in the mid-1970s that were higher-ups in these mob-adjacent organizations. This is the Dan Moldea line of argument/theory that comes out of "The Hoffa Wars."

Someone should have interview RFK, Jr. and see what he thinks about this. I’m about 85% confident he’d take your call.

Disdain? That’s easy, he’s a fucking Kennedy.

lol I'd fanboy too hard over his anti-Fauci jihad.

I'm no expert on interviewing, but I've found that you need a weird blend of simultaneous admiration and disdain for a subject to get really good and interesting responses.

But if you have his number I'll give him a ring.

He’s tight with J. O’K. J. would totally set you up with him. Do it before they both get off to Hoffaville.

JOK a little frosty with me for a variety of reasons. I'd anticipate needing a different introduction.
