Subject: Jimmy Hoffa Final Interview - Talks About Getting

Playboy interview. I just bought it, and just uploaded it. Shouldn't be
taken down, but I'll stress urgency. This is an amazing interview.
I don't want to give any spoilers, but I don't want to be accused of pasting a link and running away. So spoilers below...
At first, Hoffa is a tiny bit standoffish on the Mob stuff. He says
"There is no Mafia" and uses Hoover's statement years before when he
said "There is no Mafia", but I think that was because the FBI had
information on Hoover as being a transvestite. Notice when the
interviewer says "Bullsh*t", Jimmy starts getting more open. I think it
stripped the formalism, and maybe felt at home, and even gets defensive.
He mentions the mob later, even hints at murder, by saying
"Self-preservation is a big word".
I think the mob is always blamed for his death, but the FBI was always
after him, and he only got out because of Nixon's commutation. Greatest
labor leader, tripled incomes, got his workers benefits. I don't think
the truth will ever come out. I certainly don't believe that drunk
Sheehan who told multiple stories, trying to get any sh*t to stick to
pay his lawyer, so of course, after being turned down by multiple
publishers, his lawyer writes that book (awful movie, too, you can watch
Hoffa on Cavett on YouTube, and see Pacino not coming close).
Just my theory, but I think many of those guys with "deathbed
confessions" only do so because they have nothing to lose and figure
they can get the heat off the real killer, and get a payoff and
protection for his immediate family/friends.
Hoffa makes a good point about not having a bodyguard, that only cheats
would have one, and how many died with bodyguards, because guys relax.
