Solving JFK

Ep 81: Mafia (Part 3)


Listen Later

Did the mafia have a hand in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy? In this episode, we examine the explosive relationship between the Kennedy Administration and organized crime — and the mob bosses who had the motive, means, and opportunity to strike back.

Robert Kennedy’s war on the mob ramped up federal prosecutions and surveillance like never before, enraging mafia leaders across the country. We’ll look at how FBI wiretaps captured mobsters talking openly about killing both Kennedys — and what the House Select Committee on Assassinations ultimately concluded about mafia involvement.

Then, we dive into the lives and connections of three key figures potentially linked to the JFK Assassination, including

  • Jimmy Hoffa – the Teamsters boss with a grudge against RFK and rumored ties to mob assassins
  • Meyer Lansky – the “mob accountant” who built an empire from New York to Cuba and Las Vegas
  • Sam Giancana – the Chicago boss tied to both the Kennedys and the CIA’s secret anti-Castro plots

From wiretaps to mob meetings, this episode unpacks how deep the hatred ran — and whether it was enough to lead to murder.
