As I pointed out, he may have had very good national security reasons for not wanting to question the WC publically, at the time. Even to this day, the CIA will not release relevant information about certain covert anti-Castro activities for the same reasons.
Some who were close to RFK, such as RFK Jr. in the OP, tell a different story. William Turner has his take on how RFK had produced a report from Daniel Moynihan exonerating Hoffa as well as the Secret Service and, through personal friendships, ended up in the hands of the French. Also how the Secret Service itself believed that there was a plot to kill JFK. Turner quotes David Powers, curator of the John F. Kennedy museum: "I can't confirm or deny the European connection, but Bobby definitely didn't believe the Warren Report." RFK's press secretary, Frank Mankiewicz claimed that RFK was engrossed in the Garrison investigation, and that he may need details "in the future". In May 1968, Turner claims to have been tracked down by Richard Lubic, a California campaign aid who said "After he's elected Bobby's going to go, he's going to reopen the investigation."
