"I Heard You Paint Houses", Updated Edition: Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran & Closing the Case on Jimmy Hoffa

by Charles Brandt

In 2012 in a Charlie Rose interview, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said his father, RFK Sr., believed the Mafia had killed his brother John in Dallas and that he also believed it. RFK Jr. said that RFK Sr. judged the Warren Commission Report to be a “shoddy piece of craftsmanship…He publicly supported the Warren Commission Report, but privately he was dismissive of it.” RFK Jr. explained: “He was a very meticulous attorney. He had gone over reports himself. He was an expert at examining issues and searching for the truth.” Charlie Rose asked whether RFK Sr. had “some sense of guilt because he thought there might have been a link between his very aggressive efforts against organized crime” and JFK’s assassination. RFK Jr. answered: “I think that’s true. He talked about that.” RFK Jr. went on to point out that Jack Ruby’s phone records “were like an inventory” of organized crime figures.
