Al Sharpton's Secret Work As FBI Informant
The Smoking Gun ^ | 7 Apr 2014

Posted on 04/07/2014 10:31:09 AM PDT by mandaladon

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.

One of the most underreported and misunderstood aspects of the mob is that a major part of their money comes from scamming government programs with poor financial controls.

Yea...you’re right, but my point is that now that this story has been splashed all over, Al’s a marked man.

The Italian mafia has been wounded, but they are still very much alive and well.

I thought that Valerie married a Jarrett. Her husband was a reporter or something for a Chicago newspaper. It was reported that she got a government contract rewarded to a mobster while she was within city hall.

Ronald Jarrett was white. Valerie Jarrett married the son of Vernon Jarrett, a well known black columnist for the Chicago Sun Times.

It aint gonna be an accident. They’ll clip him right out on the street so everybody gets to see what happens to rats.

They're not gonna do squat. High profile hits are more trouble than they're worth and the New York mob is a pale shadow of its former self. More heat is the last thing they need. As for never forgetting a snitch, Henry Hill was living openly, running a catering business and signing books. He said that they could have gotten him any time, but they just didn't care. They' might kill you if you're gonna talk, but once you've talked there's little point. And if they were gonna kill everyone who talked, they'd obliterate themselves. They all talk these days. It's why they're falling apart.

“ELO’s 10538 Overture”

drat - I missed that — I think I was more interested in Bael’s comical hair preparations and his hilarious wife.
Enjoy.

Thought so. Vernon Jarrett, back in the 1930’s - 40’s, or even later, had ties to Communist Party front operations in Chicago. It is in Trevor Loudon’s books “The Enemies Within”, 2011 and 2013 editions, each dealing with CP fronts and organizations, and the second with Congresspeople specifically and marxist groups.

Valerie Jarrett is the real center of the mystery of who actually manipulates Obama. David Axelrod is one of the other people involved, but I suspect that there are other red hands that you don’t see pulling some of the puppet strings.

Lots of research needs to be done on these leftists in order to peel back all the protective layers woven around Obama to keep the truth about him from public exposure.

I remember this part from a TV documentary aired quite a while back:

So why did Sharpton agree to become an FBI informant? And why was he willing to risk the dangers inherent in such cooperation?

“He thought he didn’t have a choice,” one Genovese squad agent recalled.

In the course of an investigation being run by Spinelli and his partner John Pritchard, Sharpton was secretly recorded in meetings with an FBI undercover agent posing as a wealthy drug dealer seeking to promote boxing matches.

As previously reported, Colombo crime family captain Michael Franzese, who knew Sharpton, enlisted the activist’s help in connecting with Don King. Franzese and Sharpton were later surreptitiously filmed during one meeting with the undercover, while Sharpton and Daniel Pagano, a Genovese soldier, were recorded at another sit-down. Pagano’s father Joseph was a Genovese power deeply involved in the entertainment industry (and who also managed the crime family’s rackets in counties north of New York City).

During one meeting with Sharpton, the undercover agent offered to get him "pure coke" at $35,000 a kilo. As the phony drug kingpin spoke, Sharpton nodded his head and said, “I hear you.” When the undercover promised Sharpton a 10 percent finder’s fee if he could arrange the purchase of several kilos, the reverend referred to an unnamed buyer and said, “If he’s gonna do it, he’ll do it much more than that.” The FBI agent steered the conversation toward the possible procurement of cocaine, sources said, since investigators believed that Sharpton acquaintance Daniel Pagano--who was not present--was looking to consummate drug deals. Joseph Pagano, an East Harlem native who rose through a Genovese crew notorious for narcotics trafficking, spent nearly seven years in federal prison for heroin distribution.

While Sharpton did not explicitly offer to arrange a drug deal, some investigators thought his interaction with the undercover agent could be construed as a violation of federal conspiracy laws. Though an actual prosecution, an ex-FBI agent acknowledged, would have been “a reach,” agents decided to approach Sharpton and attempt to “flip” the activist, who was then shy of his 30th birthday. In light of Sharpton’s relationship with Don King, FBI agents wanted his help in connection with the bureau’s three-year-old boxing investigation, code named “Crown Royal” and headed by Spinelli and Pritchard.
