LincolnsBible thread - Linking trump org to Manhattan mob




The President and Organized Crime:
“GOOD G*D, THE FBI HAS TAPES!”

- Thread -

Seatbelts on.
You’re gonna hear some audio.
Let’s f*cking do this, shall we?

First, context:
What does it mean to be “mobbed-up”? Well…
It depends on what you do for them - the mafia. /1


It’s an on-going thread but here’s the connection (btw, Fear City is a must-see)

Video 2
“We realized that by controlling the concrete unions, the mafia controlled the entire construction industry.” Rudy Guiliani explains how he listened to ALL the tapes. This is what he holds over donald’s head.







And what’s on the tape that prosecutors said gave the most “incredibly important piece of evidence”? Evidence that the mob was getting it’s “fucking 2 points” (2% of all jobs over $2m)?

And so I told him there’s jobs in here that did count like TRUMP. $19 Million.”

25/... but because he is afraid of it.

As he stands there, in front of OUR house, surrounding by OUR flags, he knows his own history. That’s why he went to the CIA wall of stars on the 1st full day of his Presidency and took a verbal dump.

26/ It’s why when he learned that Robert Mueller, the man who put away his underboss – Sammy Gravano, was going to lead the Special Counsel investigation into him, he said “I’m FUCKED.” [quote is in the Mueller Report. READ it!]

But complements the mob connections to the concrete industry.

A very dear friend, and a good decent man, has a 40 yo son who has had a string of convictions for drug use, traffic offences etc. My friend mortgaged his house to pay for rehab for his son. The son was jailed again shortly after rehab.

The son is a concreter. I've met him and on the surface, he is a good guy. I heard him describe how the company he worked for sold the workers ice (meth). This is apparently quite normal in concreting companies. It makes them strong and tireless; increases productivity and prevents delays. Win-win.

Yes, it's possible that my friend's son is making up stories to excuse himself, but I've heard the same story from another source.

In the 80s it wouldn't have been meth, but speed, purple hearts etc. I believe there is much more to be investigated besides pouring slabs.

But the mob bosses generally avoided drugs for the most part, eh?

https://www.nytimes.com/1993/04/15/nyregion/drug-dealing-was-banned-by-mob-us-witness-says.html

Under cross-examination, Salvatore (Sammy Bull) Gravano conceded yesterday that any member of the Gambino crime family who dealt in drugs in the 1970's and 1980's would have been risking his life by breaking the family's rule against drug trafficking.
