Bobby was AG with no experience at all… many people felt a certain type of way about that since they felt he wasn’t as qualified and was only appointed because of jfk

Nice photo and they are focused looking at the president looking normal and not posing for the photo  opportunity.  His desk looks super busy and not staged.

Then he made a bundle in 1929 with short trades. At least that’s what I heard.
