10. PBS' History Detectives

Fri Aug 8, 2014, 08:55 AM

Aug 2014

strongly hinted at complicity of the CIA and possibly Nixon in the killing of Jimmy Hoffa ..

(as previously mentioned below .. some of it based on the Nixon tapes):

Jimmy Hoffa and the Church Committee

A little off topic here but it was interesting last night that PBS' History Detectives investigation concluded that Hoffa was killed to prevent him from testifying to the Church Committee.

Ostensibly to keep him from spilling the beans any further about Russell Bufalino's (Philly/NY mob boss) ties to the CIA. Sam Giancana and Johnny Roselli were silenced in the Summer of 75 too (apparently for the same reason).
