Harding died on that trip when he reached back to San Francisco.
Obviously, he could have done nothing about it until he got back to
Wa****ngton. Also, at that point it was just the beginning on an
investigation. It was years after Harding died that the investigation
turned up anything.
What about the $6.5 billion contract that was corruptly awarded by
President Kennedy to build an inferior military aircraft. That was
obviously a much more serious deal than a legitimate oil lease to
Sinclare Oil.
The $6.5 billion contract awarded to General Dynamics is what many
conspiracy theorists believe led to the Kennedy Assassination. That is
discussed in detail in my other recent book, "Mafia Moll: The Judith
Exner Story, The Life of the Mistress of John F. Kennedy"
http://www.amazon.com/dp/0923891900
Odd: The $6.5 billion contract to build an inferior aircraft was known
while Kennedy was President and was under investigation by a Senate
Committee, but the investigation was shut down after Kennedy was
assassinated.
Yet, after Harding died of what are believed to be natural causes, he
was blamed for things that did not become known until years later.
By the way, I have not written the book yet. I am writing it now. But,
I already have the ISBN Number. It will appear at:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/0923891234
But I might also take time off to write a book about my friend Booby
the Fish, the one whom they kicked out of the USCF and now they are
shedding crocodile tears that he died.
