Recap & Rebuttals Part 17 (Ep 79-83) with Louis Ferrante

In this 17th edition of Recap & Rebuttals, we take a comprehensive look back at the five-part Mafia series (Episodes 79–83) to assess what the historical record really tells us about organized crime’s potential role in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Joined by internationally bestselling author, television producer, and former Gambino crime family associate Lou Ferrante, we revisit the rise of the American Mafia, its clashes with the Kennedy brothers, and the high-stakes world of mob power, politics, and intelligence operations. 

Together, we explore pivotal moments and figures including the Apalachin raid, the McClellan Committee, CIA-Mafia plots to assassinate Fidel Castro, and the tangled relationships involving Sam Giancana, Johnny Roselli, Santos Trafficante, Carlos Marcello, and Jimmy Hoffa. We also examine competing claims about foreknowledge and motive, the limits of official investigations like the HSCA, and why certain mob figures remain on the suspect board while others can likely be ruled out.
