What did Hoffa do to piss off Hillary all those years ago?
>>>in the parking lot of the Machus Red Fox restaurant<<<
He should have gone to The Red Hen restaurant.
He was popped, and the body went into the foundation of the Ren Cen. Thanks re_tail20.
I think Frank Sheeran was also the bankroll behind Slo Joe Biden.
“Six weeks after Hoffa disappeared, Frank, along with the other suspects, was summoned before the Detroit grand jury investigating the case. He took the Fifth”.
I know it’s legal but I’ve never understood the ability for someone to ‘take the fifth’. I mean if there is an investigation and you plead the fifth on the basis of being incriminated yourself doesn’t that defeat any ongoing investigation? How is it the person guilty is able to excuse themselves from the law by having this ‘right’. ? It makes no sense to me.
To the law: I’m the murderer but I’m not going to fess up? Huh?
De Niro’s making a film about this. I can’t wait to NOT see it.
De Niro’s dead to me. He sleeps with the fishes.
I have no idea but I could believe it’s true. What do I know about Jimmy Hoffa.
But if I were Jimmy Hoffa and had dealings with the mob and they did not want me to run again for president of the union I would not.
Because of a scene like this one.
I like the back of my head.
The prosecutors have to prove their case; you can’t be forced to help them.
De Niro is NOT dead. He was supposed to sleep with the fish, but when the fish saw who it was they gathered and threw him OUT of the water. Pollution you know, and it is where they live.
The Founding Fathers probably felt it necessary to try and eliminate any thought of using the time honored British investigatory Plan B, torture ‘em till they confess. In today’s Britain a suspect is allowed to reply “No Comment”. But not in the old days.
Even having Al Pacino, Joe Pesci and Harvey Keitel in it will not convince me to see a DeNiro movie.
Good book.
If the police could force people to testify against themselves, then the police get lazy and rely almost totally on confessions to 'solve' crimes. Then they begin to use torture to get the confessions. See, Communist Russia, National Socialist Germany, Cuba, Iran, Communist China, etc., etc.
Yes Beowulf9. I scanned the article, and no where (unless I missed it) do I see reference to the Mob not asking him to run. Love to know if they asked him not too, the way they roll my guess is they only ask you once.
Also the restaurant is now Andiamo's a local high end Italian chain, and the food is amazing. At one point they had pictures in it from back in the day ( celebrities etc, black and white you know the drill ) and some of the old wait staff ( probably dead by now ) were their that night and were not afraid to talk about it.
Because the right to protect yourself is as true with words as it is with a rifle.
In the past you had to prove your innocence. That is kind of hard to do.
The framers did not want anyone have to help the government put themselves in jail.
He promised not to run as a condition of Nixon’s pardon. The mob was probably told it would not be a good thing for Hoffa to be seen as lying to Nixon. As funny as that sounds.
“His story is this: He and others were ordered by the Mafia to kill Hoffa to prevent him from trying to run again for the presidency of the Teamsters union”.
Sixteenth paragraph down.
Thanks, I did not know that. I do remember back then Labor was Pro-Nixon especially the Teamsters, and Pro-American, and do you remember the “Hard Hat Rebellion”? when construction workers beeotch slapped ( that is putting it mildly ) hippie maggots because they had had enough?...
Thanks, I need to slow down....
