Sixty-two years ago, Jimmy Hoffa, head of the Teamsters Union, walked out of prison a free man.
He had vegetated in the Big House for almost five years of his eight-year sentence for bribery and fraud.
So who released him?
Tricky Dick, i.e. President Nixon signed him out.
Why?
No one knows. Could it have been in return for that huge chunk of cash the Teamsters gave Nixon to help him run for president again?
