The Roots of Giuliani and Biden's 35-Year Grudge Match

https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-roots-of-giuliani-and-bidens-35-year-grudge-match?ref=home

In early January 1983, Giuliani was the associate attorney general, No. 3 in the U.S. Justice Department. Joe Biden was a U.S. senator from Delaware and sponsor of a bill to establish a cabinet-level “Drug Czar” to coordinate all federal efforts to curb narcotics trafficking.

The legislation had been passed at 2 a.m., without hearings. Giuliani urged President Ronald Reagan to veto it.

“Naive, simplistic and hopelessly flawed,” Giuliani said of Biden’s provision.

The evidence included photographs of a May 1984 meeting of mob bosses at a house in Staten Island. An accompanying affidavit attested that the main topic of the gathering was Mafia control of the construction industry. One example they all surely knew was Trump Tower, which had been completed in 1983 thanks to concrete provided by a firm linked to the Genovese crime family and a labor favor accorded by the Gambino crime family. The tower was the only construction site in New York to remain open during a citywide strike.


Colin Powell and Madeleine Albright were on Fareed Zakaria, and one of them pointed out that Biden was AGAINST closing the investigation into Burisma and wanted it continued. The IMF, coalition of western nations trying to help Ukraine, including Biden for the Obama administration, etcetera, all insisted the corrupt, so-called anti-corruption prosecutor, Shokin, had to be fired because he didn't prosecute corruption cases. Among other things.
