Part 1: Frank Storey on Joining FBI After JFK Killed, Was JFK Murder a Conspiracy?
--------
Former FBI agent Frank Storey joins Vlad to break down J. Edgar Hoover’s controversial history with organized crime, including the long-running rumor that the Mafia had compromising photos and used them to pressure the FBI director. Storey calls the alleged mob extortion plot “preposterous,” while addressing Hoover’s close relationship with Clyde Tolson and the speculation that followed.
The conversation also revisits the 1957 Apalachin meeting, a turning point that forced Hoover and the FBI to publicly confront the existence of the Mafia. Storey explains how the arrests pushed organized crime investigations into a national priority. He also discusses Joseph Valachi, aka Joe Cargo, whose historic testimony exposed La Cosa Nostra, broke omertà, and revealed the Mafia’s structure to the public.
A sharp look at FBI history, mob investigations, J. Edgar Hoover rumors, and the rise of federal organized crime enforcement.
