“He won’t go after the Chicago mob. Guess why.”

Of course it is obvious why, but he needs to be asked about this under oath in front of a televised House subcommittee hearing.

I guess the Russian mob in Queens was a little too bad.

Okay, now that Holder has made a phony show of offing the Italians, how about if he tackles the ghastly crime in black neighborhoods? Black crime kills more people in a week than the Mafia kills in a year.

Politicians are not about saving a few precious children..they are about accumulating power for their friends. Those who are about helping humanity are being used by the power brokers. International (see..we don't give a crap who your daddy is or what your silly laws are) totalitarians are in charge of the peoples house. The sooner the people understand this..the better off we will all be.

There have been many announcements of the crippling of the Five Families for decades now.

Funny, they’re still there and have been for over a century. The Mafia itself is 350 years older than this nation and isn’t going anywhere, no matter how many US Attorneys thump their chests and crow.

Perhaps because he doesn’t want to “disappear” like Jimmy Hoffa?

At least the Mafia keeps theirs internal.

Or as Bugsy Siegel said, “We only kill each other.”

People will never wake up as long as their thoughts are dominated by football and basketball. These will forever remain children.

Which is better than Japan, where the men are encouraged to act like infants, right down to wearing diapers and carrying giant stuffed toys in public. (I’ve seen both in Kyoto and Tokyo; it’s very common.)

This is a great way to control a potentially dynamic—and dangerous—people.

The Real Headline?

FEDS POP AGED GOOMBAS!
Now Safer for Colombian, Russian, Chinese, Albanian
Mobs To Operate Without Interference.
Street Drug Prices to Moderate

Big Pussy, Paulie, and Tony go down! They never could figure out that Cell Phone and Computer Cyber bullshiite. "Put the money in Lichtenstein? WTF is a Lichtenstein?"

Sonny Boy Franzese (age 93) gets 8 years. Whew! Now I can walk home from school in Brooklyn? But where am I gonna get my sports action down?

Keep that gangster soap opera going, men! Dirty Little Secret: While the FEDS can always claim to be smarter than the Goombas, they ain't got a prayer against the Russkis and the Chinese, and they're afraid of the Colombians and Albanians.

The timing of the raid and the announcement was meant to try to take the visit of the leader of China off the top of the news list, in terms of opinions and questions that could be asked about China and our relationship with China; instead the visit will be reported, without much comment, so more time can be devoted to the “achievement” of O’s Justice Dept.

[Most likely the raids are the final act in a many-years long process of building the cases.]

"...he needs to be asked about this under oath..."

These thugs are scummy Chicago politicians . Do you really think that being under oath means anything to any of them?
