Obama backer Lester Crown and his late father, Henry Crown, were political manipulators using vast quantities of money that amounted to proceeds from mob activity.
I've detailed this in a Dkos diary entry today, and the most dramatic point, in addition to Henry's close ties with Del Webb and Lester's admissions, under oath, that he bribed numerous Illinois legislators, is the fact that Henry, as chairman and largest General Dynamics stockholder in 1963, had a strong motive to participate in JFK's assassination.
The Warren Commission, instead of investigating Henry and his possible ties to Jack Ruby, appointed Henry's personal lawyer, Albert E. Jeffer, to the position of lead Warren Commission attorney, in charge of investigating the possibility of a conspiracy..... The press could have examined whether or not Obama had made a bargain with the devil, before the election, since all of the details are in old newspapers and books.
They didn't.
