A PROMISE TO THE MOB
After Joe Kennedy begged for [Sam] Giancana’s assistance at a meeting in Chicago, Giancana reportedly said, “I’ve heard nothing today that leads me to think that you can promise me anything in return for my assistance.”
“Kennedy responded: “I can. And I will. You help me now, Sam, and I’ll see to it that Chicago-that you-can sit in the godamned Oval office if you want. That you’ll have the President’s ear. But I just need time.”
Kennedy told Giancana, “He’ll be your man. I swear to that. My son – the President of the United States – will owe you his father’s life. He won’t refuse you, ever. You have my word.”
