I purchased Ragano's book based on the fascinating premise, and my obsession with the Tom Hagen character played by the great Robert Duvall in The Godfather. This book written with the help of Selwyn Raab doesn't disappoint! It has a wealth of insight and information about the mafia during the height of its power in the middle twenty century.
What Bobby Kennedy did to Carlos was awful. Pick him off the streets (Carlos) deported him to a place in some jungle in another country. Drop him in street clothes in the middle of nowhere. But after 3days he found some little town saved his life. I'm sure he was pissed at Bobby Kennedy.
The whole dropped off in the middle of the jungle story was very exaggerated and isnt true. But he was deported against his will. He was sent to a Guatemalan military base and then a hotel.
I would be very pissed at him to say the least lol....Kennedy basically had him kidnapped and dropped off in the middle of nowhere...crazy abuse of power right there crazy man
@@DaveSCameron isn't it nuts still to this day the immigration system is broken. He probably used several countries but Kennedy knew he was from Italy and was Italian as much as he was Irish.
@@bradr1913 he wanted to be dropped off in guetemala because he had shipping companies that went from florida/new orleans to guatemala. He jumped on a ship and came back. He actually got one of his ships to pick him up in Mexico.
Wow. After going down the J.F.K. assassination rabbit hole several times. This video is as close to the source of the "Real J.F.K. assassination story" as I have seen. Thanks
Ragano being active in the FL bar has nothing to do with it. The privilege belongs to the client, not the lawyer, and it lasts past the death of the client
I think Frank Ragano's book was a nice read, and 40% bunk...I think he exaggerated to promote the book and I don't blame him..He was just trying to leave money for his family
I have always found Frank Ragano to be completely believable. The way he talks about Trafficante and his confession (he discusses ir nmore in other interviews than here) has a strong ring of truth. His story is one of the best pieces of evidence of a conspiracy.
i remember when Kennedy was killed the mood the country was shock and sadness. For the next several years many schools, airports, streets and other public and private institutions were named after Kennedy. At the time if there was evidence the mafia had anything to do with Kennedys death I think there would mass vigiliantism against the mafia. I think blaming the mafia diverts attention from who ever actually did it.
I sincerely apologize Sir, but referring to them as Guys is most inappropriate; they are businessmen out there working and making money; clearly no different from someone who is working at Wall Street ripping off poor hardworking people for their hard-earned money.
Well they are murderers who extort mom and pop shops, beat up regular people, sell drugs. They’re not good people . Every watch sopranos they all say their soldiers to make themselves feel better because they know what they do is sending them to hell
There’s just something about Charlie Rose’s format that’s perfect for these mob interviews, can’t get enough of them!
I forgot how often Rose interrupted his guests.
Big time.
Charlie Rose needs to zip it.
yep he interrupts too much
He interrupted waaaay too much.Overrated.

I use to love watching Charley Rose on Channel -13 PBS TV. Brooklyn, New York, in the early 1990's.
Interesting interview. Not a fan of Rose who was hung up on Oswald as a lone shooter, but then much has been learn in the intervening years.

@@FatherDyer1990 just the timing of the whole deal. What was goin on with Hoffa and traffacante throw in Carlos . Bobby was really flirting with fire.

B.S. LHO was a patsy that had no idea what he was going down for. LHO shot no one Nov 22 1963. Don't be naive.
Just like the movie "SHOOTER" except LHO was a f'n idiot, not a Bob Lee Swagger!
@@sack_em_up Yeah he was, but he was a useful idiot for many small c I A stuff and being the ultimate fall guy.
am looking for a documentary "jfk conspiracy theories" or so and it's about 3 hrs long. Watched it around 2021 but just cant seem to find it no more
Charlie Rose won't shut up and let other people talk.
agreed he needs to shut that filthy pie hole
And where is Chicago in this? Giancana,Rosella, Richard Cain??
"If you cut out the head, a the tail dies"
You really don't know any more at the end of this than you knew before it started.
I wouldn't have written a book if I didn't-
Excellent answer
Reading the transcript bc YT muted the interview
Always great blogs
how does this only have 17k views???
Frank was right about his health - he died four years later.
Doesn't change the fact the c I a or f b I have covered it up since

The biggest mobsters are the lawyers
Wld ❤ 2 knw what Ragano knw abt Meyer Lansky & NYC Irish Bronx bootlegger/ La Salle Vending owner associate Francis "Frank/Irishman" Breheny??? Anyone out there w/ info greatly appreciate sharing?
I wonder if he knew where Jimmy Hoffa is?
Interesting

Uuuuuuummm he was THERE,,your not getting it from some outsider on the fringes,,,there are to many accounts with basically the same info

Love how Charlie Rose doesn't believe for one second the mob conned the CIA 😂
Watch JFK< Hoffa and the Mob
Fascinating. Do I believe it? Yes. 100% period. Full stop. Drop the Mike. He had to go.
0:51 get his book
Trafficante was not a " criminal"..he was never convicted...🙄

ruby was in the mob, easy to understand how oswald felt threatened by a cop, at the time cop in dallas were on the pocket of mobster.
Ruby was a soldier..expendable one
ragano seems quite sincere, but i suppose, he is a sicilian, wasn't he a member of the organization,syndacate.??
