Are you saying the movie The Irishman seems credible because it was absolutely was not.
AG requires Senate approval, RFK sr was unanimously approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee. They were familiar with RFK's work as the chief counsel for this committee : United States Senate Select Committee on Improper Activities in Labor and Management
They investigated labor racketeering including Jimmy Hoffa working with NYC mobster Johnny Dio to take over the Teamsters Union.
Here's Hoffa testifying to RFK in 1957

So the idea the mob was surprised by what RFK did as AG in 1961 seems weird to me.
This all jumbled up. https://www.cubamafia.com/index.html
The mob was not trying to establish a foothold in Cuba in 1960. They were trying to win back a lost empire
The mob was in Cuba since the 1920s. By the 1940s. Meyer Lansky was working with President Batista who by the 1950s was the dictator of Cuba until he filed the country when Fidel Castro's revolution took over. Castro was elected? No he just assumed power as the leader of the revolutionaries. By Jan 1 1959 Battista was fleeing the country and the mob was on the verge of getting forced out

At first Castro sought US help but then came out as an open Communist, nationalized farms and businesses (some of which were US owned ) and cozied up to Moscow. By 1960 Einsenerhower was trying take Castro out and approved the bay of Pigs plan which disasterously went ahead under JFK in 1961. This open warfare was what led to the Cuban Missile crisis. Not the mob.
As for the Irishman it's based on a book that was supposedly the deathbed confession of Frank Sheeran who was an inverterate liar
When trying to sell his book the first time around, he forged a letter from Jimmy Hoffa.
The paper was from 1994, not 1974. He claimed to commit 25 to 30 murders.
None have been confirmed let alone him killing Hoffa.
The book goes way way further than the movie. Sheeran claimed he delivered 3 high powered rifles to Dallas.
The killing of the NY monster Joe Gallo in the movie is so far removed from facts it's silly. Gallos walife said there were multiple shooters and they were short fat Italians including this guy. Not one tall Irish guy.
