Gianni Russo on Having a Role in the Mafia Killing JFK (Part 6)

well in the book you also talked about Kennedy's assassination you said Frank Sinatra who was a good friend of yours was the go-between with the mob and the Kennedys JFK and Sinatra oh great pals well yeah I was early on with that when he was Senator I used to go to this I used to go to Vegas every other weekend and I saw them all there and Bobby and I'm not Bobby but John Bobby was not a part of it until he got elected but John was a great guy man and then I didn't know who the target was I thought it was gonna be Bobby because I remember flying one of my last trips I flew to Dallas and somebody picked me up that I knew and took me 30 miles out and I had a suitcase and I know it was full of money and I dropped it off came home so uh Costello that morning and that night is when Lyndon Baines Johnson announced he's going to be the running mate cuz they made a deal with him because they were very optimistic they said John will do the first date and you'll do the next day cuz they already had Truman at that time they already had Nixon the mob on those guys that's why when they wanted Jimmy Hoffa out of prison Nixon pardoned him cuz he found God and he was going to come out and get rid of Frank Fitzsimmons because we just borrowed it like almost 200 million of the brother's pension fund to build Las Vegas well you said uh my errand to Marcelo was involved in the master plan to assassinate Kennedy I had played a role small as it was while I was literally only the messenger yeah I mean I could when and again with Costello being two steps ahead of everybody when I met him and I came back after seeing Marcellus I've run a number off to him I had to go to the bathroom and he said somebody's in there so I was staying at the bar because the bathroom door was right there and when the guy came out he bunked into my pay no attention to the guy I went to the bathroom went to see my selves and about to sit down have a great dish appositive ungli goes to chef new I like that he soon they'll get back to New York so I went right back to New York and I see what's the message he said it's on that's that's the whole message good he's he'll know what it is so I mean in the next morning and he said what's the message I said it's on so he had a manila envelope what about 15,000 in cash for me and some paperwork he's I signed you on the independence the ship that's where my god he's just don't worry about it the first port is gonna be bustle on Spain get off the boat somebody will meet you there okay I never asked him in question I'm just traveling all over the world had a great life and I know by other people if they asked him a couple of questions he'd get pretty annoyed Goethe so I didn't wanna you know I want to lose this guy so now I'm on the boat we're going on to the Verrazano Bridge and they announced on the PA system that the president was shot not killed yet and all the pilot boats came people were getting off the boats amen basically because this was out you know a thirty day trip and I'm saying to myself all these broads gonna be on a boat man it's all these drugs I loved it not realizing the seriousness the next morning they had a tell a newspaper on the ship and the guy that came out in the bathroom was Lee Harvey Oswald that was my loss Ellis a shooter Chicago shooter was the kill shooter the kill shot was Johnny Roselli he was in the storm sewer but it wasn't till years later when they did that graphic that that's been sent around then that that bullet having him ricocheting going 10 different ways but it would the boat and it was funny both assassins were trained by the Marines Johnny Roselli and then Santo Trafficante was trained by the CIA to kill Fidel Castro that was one of their plots they even created a powder because he used to power his beard for edginess they put a powder with poison in it the anesthesiologist created it this guy was a mastermind on stuff but Castro never fell for any of it and they didn't get him obviously but the funniest thing is even Lee Harvey Oswald was a Marine and trained as a marksman and here they kill the President of the United States that's craziness but Lyndon Baines Johnson brought him to the target okay and then Jack Ruby ended up killing Lee Harvey Oswald that was the dumbest thing in the world they said you killed Lee Harvey Oswald you'd become a hero now Jack Ruby was working with Chicago to begin with because he was running all the strip joints and the select arcades that Chicago had out there so he was a definite to do it and he wanted to do it well you know it's interesting there's an open case that I was just interviewed on by a guy who's writing another book about Dorothy Kilgallen her murder has never been solved she was the 72nd person killed after the assassination of Kennedy she was going out with a mob guy who she knew too much and that's why I left the country 22 months that was Costello and so Ken's Costello could convince everybody else leave this kid alone

I read his book a while back. It was hysterical. Killed his first man at age 10. Was working for Costello soon after that. Was nailing Marilyn Monroe at 16. He’s the real reason the Spilotros ended up in the cornfields. Pablo Escobar wanted his autograph....

Absolute bullshit. Even worse than the Frank Sheeran idiocy. Anyone who believes this nonsense is a moron.

I think there is some truth to his stories but hey, ya never know, have these dudes prob tell their stories and the ghost writers blow it up into shit. You think they read their own books?
