Even Joe's own son, Anthony Colombo, stated that his personal gut feelings was that the FBI was behind the conspiracy to shoot his father.

But he made sure to make those explosive allegations at the very end of his life. He was already sick, and he didn't give a fuck anymore.

Notice that he never dared spout that while he was still young, and active in the streets. For fear of reprisal from the feds.... Or worse!!

He and his entire personal blood family were spooked by what happened to his dad for speaking out against the FBI. Neither he, brother Joe Jr., brother Vincent, his sisters or mom ever dared speak out the way he did at the end..... they all kept their feelings deep in their belly. Why??

THAT, in and of itself, showed you where things were REALLY at. They shit their pants over that reality.

and not 1 Colombo member, out of over 150 made guys at that time. REALLY knew what was what. But under their breath, more than one whispered the same thing.

That they felt it was the Federal Bureau of Investigation.... Period!
