It's not like we didn't know Sharpton was a sleazy little degenerate, but this one is still pretty interesting.


Shock Claim: Sharpton Was FBI Mob Rat

APRIL 7--When friends and family members gathered recently at the White House for a private celebration of Michelle Obama’s 50th birthday, one of the invited partygoers was a former paid FBI Mafia informant.

That same man attended February’s state dinner in honor of French President Francois Hollande. He was seated with his girlfriend at a table adjacent to President Barack Obama, who is likely unaware that, according to federal agents, his guest once interacted with members of four of New York City’s five organized crime families. He even secretly taped some of those wiseguys using a briefcase that FBI technicians outfitted with a recording device.

The high-profile Obama supporter was also on the dais atop the U.S. Capitol steps last year when the President was sworn in for a second term. He was seated in front of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, two rows behind Beyonce and Jay Z, and about 20 feet from Eric Holder, the country's top Law Enforcement Officer. As head of the Department of Justice, Attorney General Holder leads an agency that once reported that Obama’s inauguration guest also had La Cosa Nostra contacts beyond Gotham, and engaged in “conversations with LCN members from other parts of the United States.”

The former mob snitch has become a regular in the White House, where he has met with the 44th president in the East Room, the Roosevelt Room, and the Oval Office. He has also attended Obama Christmas parties, speeches, policy announcements, and even watched a Super Bowl with the First Family (an evening the man has called “one of the highlights of my life”). During these gatherings, he has mingled with cabinet members, top Obama aides, military leaders, business executives, and members of Congress. His former confederates were a decidedly dicier lot: ex-convicts, extortionists, heroin traffickers, and mob henchmen. The man’s surreptitious recordings, FBI records show, aided his government handlers in the successful targeting of powerful Mafia figures with nicknames like Benny Eggs, Chin, Fritzy, Corky, and Baldy Dom.

Later this week, Obama will travel to New York and appear in a Manhattan hotel ballroom at the side of the man whom FBI agents primarily referred to as “CI-7”--short for confidential informant #7--in secret court filings. In those documents, investigators vouched for him as a reliable, productive, and accurate source of information about underworld figures...

Al Sharpton's Secret Work As FBI Informant | The Smoking Gun
DRUDGE REPORT 2014®
 
More: A lengthy investigation by The Smoking Gun has uncovered remarkable details about Sharpton's past work as an informant for a joint organized crime task force comprised of FBI agents and NYPD detectives, as well as his dealings with an assortment of wiseguys.

Beginning in the mid-1980s and spanning several years, Sharpton’s cooperation was fraught with danger since the FBI’s principal targets were leaders of the Genovese crime family, the country’s largest and most feared Mafia outfit. In addition to aiding the FBI/NYPD task force, which was known as the “Genovese squad,” Sharpton’s cooperation extended to several other investigative agencies.

TSG’s account of Sharpton’s secret life as “CI-7” is based on hundreds of pages of confidential FBI affidavits, documents released by the bureau in response to Freedom of Information Act requests, court records, and extensive interviews with six members of the Genovese squad, as well as other law enforcement officials to whom the activist provided assistance.

Like almost every other FBI informant, Sharpton was solely an information source. The parameters of his cooperation did not include Sharpton ever surfacing publicly or testifying on a witness stand.

Genovese squad investigators--representing both the FBI and NYPD--recalled how Sharpton, now 59, deftly extracted information from wiseguys. In fact, one Gambino crime family figure became so comfortable with the protest leader that he spoke openly--during ten wired face-to-face meetings--about a wide range of mob business, from shylocking and extortions to death threats and the sanity of Vincent “Chin” Gigante,...
 
So you are complaining about a guy working with law enforcement to bring down criminals?

Wow, if THIS is what you can find to complain about - I'm thinking that life must be darn near perfect.
 
Sharpton's biggest crime is that he fights for equality.

If he were rw and helped the FBI catch crooks, the usual nutters would love it.

SSDD from the hypocrites.

Wow..

If this is true?

Good on Sharpton.
 
Can't fault him for his part in bringing the mafia to justice.
 
You can bet the FBI had something on him. Snitches get turned because Law Enforcement has something on em. I'm sure he was just trying to save his own ass. After all, he's a criminal asshole too.
 
I have a hard time believing this.
"Big time" mob informants don't simply walk around afterwords. They have no choice but to enter witness protection programs. If he turned in organized crime members, he would be dead.

The Tawana Brawley thing was bad.

But he got passed that.

I personally think he made his bones with the Vieques Protest.

That really helped him build character (and lose weight!)

Don't delude yourself, Sharpton's a criminal piece of shit. The FBI was likely going to charge him. So he decided to be a Snitch Bitch. It wasn't a noble act. Sharpton isn't capable of that.
 
Sharpton must have been complicit in the crimes if he had the knowledge! If he gave information to exonerate himself - he is a rat with all that goes with it. The FBI is a criminal institution - they disguise the identity of serial killers, and place them in our neighborhoods ( Sammy the Bull ) for information that has political expediency - fuck the FBI!

Last time I spoke with them about an extortion case, I spoke with an idiot who spoke ebonics, and couldn't remember that we had spoken before!
 
Very few if any, become Snitches out of the goodness of their hearts. Law Enforcement usually has something on em and is going to prosecute. So what did they have on Sharpton? Must have been pretty serious.
 
Wow - jump all over a guy for helping to prosecute mob bosses .......

I guess you are entitled to your opinion, but when choosing sides, I like to side with the people who put criminals behind bars rather than the criminals.

Kinda makes me wonder about the people who don't ....
 
Following the Obama Derangement syndrome is hating anything someone does including hating when someone does the right thing like stopping the mob.

Of course the OP will say he hates Sharpton for....uh...Tawana Brawley maybe?

So he stops the mob and believed a girl when she said she was raped. What a scumbag /sarcasm
