I discuss this briefly in Chapter 20 of SWHT and David Giamarco presented for almost 2 hours on his and Kevin Costner's offer and attempt to get Hunt on record for literally years before his death. Pat, I wish you luck in tracking down the lead.but its important to remember that Hunt had been making "oblique" references to having insider knowledge of the assassination for years before the so called death bed confession.
I was one of eight men who heard Tolson respond to the mention of name by saying, 'I hope someone shoots and kills the son of a bitch.' This was five or six weeks before the California primary." "Hoover was not present, and Clyde Tolson was presiding in his absence. William Sullivan, the #4 man at the FBI, describes a high level FBI meeting in spring, 1968. William Sullivan's book on the FBI was printed posthumously. She was also a former nun, a true Sister of Mercy. This makes it even less likely, IMO, that she would just invent Hunt's "oblique references" to the assassination. I just watched a youtube video of Violet in which she explained that she worked with Partington in the writing of the book, and didn't just finish his book. I suppose, then, that the next step is to track down Violet, and find out if her source materials, created BEFORE Hunt's deathbed confession, support this analysis. Violet would make up Hunt's "obliquely referencing" the CIA and Johnson if this wasn't mentioned in her source materials.which, in turn, suggests Partington said Hunt blamed Johnson and the CIA BEFORE word of Hunt's deathbed confession reached the public.
The book is attributed to Partington WITH former Rhode Island Attorney General Arlene Violet. So, was this just added in by the writer tasked with finishing his book? He couldn't possibly have heard the news of the confession prior to his death. So, it seems possible he added the bit about Hunt in after hearing the news about the deathbed confession.ĮXCEPT.Partington died in 2006. News of Hunt's deathbed confession came out in 2007. The book then relates that after Hunt's death his son wrote an article describing a deathbed confession in which Hunt blamed the killing on the CIA and Johnson. Hunt made no bones about the fact that he felt JFK was too faint of heart in pulling the punches on the mission and said JFK probably got what he deserved." Badly damaged by the Bay of Pigs fiasco, the CIA in turn blamed JFK for a lack of guts in rejecting a Cuban invasion to oust Castro. He never directly made any accusations but obliquely referenced the CIA and Lyndon Baines Johnson. There was plenty of gossip that he knew who was behind the slaying of John F. On page 216, he relates: "A couple of my marshals tried to pry information from the taciturn Hunt.
Partington had not only led the protection details of some famous mobsters, but of E. One detail in particular stood out, however. The book was easy reading, filled with lots of insight into the lives of its characters. I picked up a book entitled The Mob and Me, about the exploits of wiseguys in the Federal Witness Protection Program, told by one of the creators of the program, John Partington. While browsing through a book store a few months back, I decided to pick up something that (I thought) had nothing to do with my JFK research.
