Rev. Al Shaprton, the controversial civil rights leader-turned-broadcaster, was a confidential FBi informant for years and helped the feds put members of the Genovese and Gambino organized crime families behind bars, it was revealed Monday in a sensational exposé. President Barack Obama will speak this week for the second time at the annual meeting of Sharpton´s National Action Network, raising questions about the group´s special treatment. Sharpton´s special relationship with the Justice Department may also explain why his NAN has been allowed to skirt responsibility for $1.9 million in back taxes and penalties it has owed the IRS since 2006

Glad someone has a memory.

This “news” was broken to the public during the Reagan Administration.

Old Al will do anything for a few bucks.

Why am I not surprised that Sharpton has ties to organized crime?

I am under a certain impression that this article specifically outs Sharpton because he called people fags... also details of mob soldiers turned gay seem to be odd additions.

[lavaroise]

The article does imply he was caught in a drug deal and was flipped by the FBI.

However these task forces get blackmailed too. Note how Sharpton then went on TV blaspheming the police and changing the courts in the Brawley affair but the FBI could do nothing against this communist because they needed him.

Goes to show how tasks forces that do not go after fundamentals but perps only become lost in sauce of mass epidemics of crime culture while treating a single patient.
