Summary  
The documents detail fragmented FBI investigations into potential threats against Senator Robert F. Kennedy (RFK) and related individuals from June 1968. Key elements include inquiries into Sirhan Bisharad, an associate of RFK allegedly recruited by Walter Croe into the Communist Party (CP), and efforts to identify a suspect observed at Southern Pacific Railroad Station in Turlock, California. The FBI sought information on Sirhan’s ties to radical groups like the W.E.B. Dubois Club and his alleged residence in Jackson, Michigan. Robert Lee Driggs, a man with a history of mental instability and arrests, claimed attendance at a 1965 party hosted by Serhard, described as a dedicated communist, and provided colored slides from the event. Discrepancies in Driggs’ reliability were noted due to his mental state. Separate records include an anonymous letter postmarked Bloomfield, New Jersey, addressed to RFK, linked to an extortion file, and materials found in Sirhan’s room referencing Gwendolynne Gun/Gum in Arcadia, California, along with a phone number (447-4974). The FBI also reviewed latent fingerprint comparisons and requested major case prints of individuals handling evidence. Anti-Semitic leaflets attributed to Arab financial backing were circulated in Newark, while political correspondence discussed threats from foreign entities. A Swiss embassy cable expressed condolences for RFK’s death and criticized U.S. politics.
