11. JFK and Gerald Ford Were Intimate with the Same Communist Spy
Ellen Rometsch was an East German spy tasked with befriending powerful American politicians. She got a job as a hostess in a Washington, DC, salon organized by Bobby Baker, an LBJ aide, as a private club for politicians. Rometsch arranged for hookers, and went on dates with some of the members herself. She got Baker to introduce her to then-president John F. Kennedy. As Baker put it: “She really loved oral. … She went the White House several times. And president Kennedy called me and said it’s the best head-job he’d ever had, and he thanked me“. She also hooked up with Gerald Ford, then a Congressman.
After JFK was killed, Ford was appointed to the Warren Commission investigating the assassination. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover was frustrated because the Commission was not sharing its findings with him. However, he had dirt on Ford: his affair with Rometsch. So he blackmailed Ford into sharing the Commission’s findings. As to Rometsch, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy got wind that the FBI was investigating her as a suspected spy, took a hard look at her trail of seductions through Washington, and decided to nip a potential scandal in the bud by deporting her.
