Why exactly did Bobby Kennedy go after Giancana & other mobsters after the mafia helped elect JFK and while the CIA was using the mafia in Cuba? Is there a good explanation for this?

Goldsmith would suggest that the real target was labor "racketeering" more than the Mafia qua Mafia.

The mob wasn't critical in the general, but it was huge in the nomination. I have no idea what Jack and Bobby were thinking going after them, though.

The Cuban CIA/Mob connection predates the Kennedy administration. The Mob expanded Cuban operations during the Eisenhower years, were dispossessed by the revolution, and had connections on the island the CIA found useful in anti-Castro activities. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/mob-havana-cuba-culture-music-book-tj-english-cultural-travel-180960610/ …

Right and Giancana had Jack killed because of his relationship with that mistress

Which is not to say that the mob didn't feel they were owed kid glove treatment.
