I don't believe that Kennedy's father was that tied to the mob, and I feel the same about Trump. The rumors always come from political rivals or news success looking to get attention. Kennedy's father was doing what anyone else did in the years of prohibition, and Trump never has been shown to have dealt with anyone in the mafia. I hate the Clintons, but I don't believe they murdered all those people they were said to have had killed. People want to tear others down so bad, especially if it's a political difference, that they resort to the craziest rumors to make a false point. As for the congressman who knows, occasionally the rumors are true, but it would cut both ways in the long run. And his supports would still stand by him no matter what.
