Sharpton Pal: Rev Al Was ‘Eager To Get Slice Of 1980s Coke Deal’ --Hard to play race card against black former buddy

April 13, 2014 Confidential Informant No. 7 , FBI 0 Comments

DURHAM, NC — A drug trafficker who worked for Al Sharpton’s nonprofit in the 1980s said that despite the preacher’s denials, he was eager to get a slice of the lucrative drug deal captured on FBI surveillance video.

“It was greed. He just wanted money,” Robert Curington, 72, told The Post during a two-day interview at his North Carolina home, detailing for the first time how Sharpton stepped into the FBI’s trap — and was then forced to become a federal informant.

Sharpton has said he showed interest in the drug deal only because he feared the undercover agent was armed. He also claimed that he snitched for the feds — as first reported by The Smoking Gun this week — because the mob was threatening him.

Curington called all of that a tall tale.

He instead provided a detailed account of how Sharpton wined and dined a man he thought was a South American drug lord — and said Sharpton met him not just once, but three times.

Sharpton’s saga began in the Manhattan offices of boisterous boxing big shot Don King in 1983, Curington said.

An unnamed felon trying to duck a 30-year prison sentence promised the feds he could help them nail King on coke-dealing charges.

An undercover FBI agent, using the name Victor Quintana, set up a meeting with King to discuss a boxing match in the Bahamas — but King had a bad feeling about the potential business partner and pawned him off on Sharpton.

The Elder Statement: SNITCHGATE -- Sharpton Lies About Why He Snitched For The FBI By Larry Elder

April 12, 2014 60 Minutes , Articles by Larry Elder 0 Comments

By Larry Elder, Apr. 12, 2014

If the bigoted, anti-Semitic, tax cheating race-hustling poverty pimp, the Rev. Al Sharpton, had any credibility left, it’s long gone.
  

Sharpton, the beneficiary of a lifetime of passes by our race-conscious mainscream media, ran into an outlet not afraid of him -- The Smoking Gun. They obtained material that exposed Sharpton as having worked as an FBI “informant.” Sharpton, of course, denies being a “snitch.” No, he “volunteered” to “cooperate” with the FBI. He acted with the most honorable of motives.
  

Why would the government-hating “civil rights” leader cooperate with the feds? Sharpton told “Morning Joe” that he did so to root out “mob influence” in the record business. To this, MSNBC’s suppliant Joe Scarborough actually called Sharpton “a great example.”
  

Here’s the problem. A “60 Minutes” outtake from their 2011 Sharpton profile shows correspondent Leslie Stahl aggressively questioning him about being an FBI “informant.” Sharpton admits “cooperating,” but says he did so to expose “crack houses” and corruption in boxing. He said the FBI asked him “what I know about [boxing promoter] Don King.”
  

That was then, in 2011. Sharpton said nothing about the mob from the record business -- the reason he now offered up on “Morning Joe.” The feds, in 1983, caught Sharpton on tape attempting to arrange a drug deal. In exchange for prosecution, Sharpton cut a deal. Nothing noble, just a phony “civil rights” leader condemning drugs while dealing them -- at least attempting to deal them. A con artist agreeing to snitch to save his hide. Nothing more, nothing less.
  

Yesterday, CBS released these outtakes, calling them an “interesting exchange” given this week’s “new revelations.” They show the lying, shifty, obviously uncomfortable Sharpton dodging and deflecting -- clearly unhappy with the line of questioning. Some CBS producer or exec decided not to broadcast this part of the interview on TV. Were these “interesting” outtakes available online in 2011 when the Sharpton profile first aired? If not, why? Sharpton probably threatened to sue for defamation, and CBS backed down.
  

If so, shame on “60 Minutes” for only releasing these bombshell outtakes just now -- having sat on them for three years. And shame on the mainscream media for allowing The Smoking Gun to do the job they should have done a long time ago. After all, the fraudulent “civil rights” leader made his bones knowingly and falsely accusing a man of raping Tawana Brawley. Since then, Sharpton has compiled an impressive and lengthy rap sheet of race card hustles:  Al Sharpton's Rap Sheet By Larry Elder


Obscenities like Sharpton usually make enemies.  He has, including some who began as friends or colleagues.

One, described by the New York Post as a “drug trafficker who worked for Al Sharpton’s nonprofit in the 1980s, recently told the newspaper, “It was greed. [Sharpton] just wanted money.”
  

Sharpton was ‘eager to get slice of 1980s coke deal’: pal

And in a “People” magazine Sharpton profile, a former aide, Perry McKinnon, claims Sharpton, knew that the whole Tawana Brawley affair was a hoax. No matter, Sharpton allegedly assured McKinnon, “We’ll be the biggest n---gs in the country.”

Trials of Tawana By James S. Kunen

It’s good to be Sharpton. As a “civil rights leader” he’s managed to avoid prison despite being million of dollars light in federal and state income taxes: Taxes Are For Little People

He also failed to pay payroll taxes in his money losing non-profit:

Al Sharpton can't shake his money problems      

His busy life includes a daily hour show on MSNBC; a three-hour daily radio show; and CEO of a non-profit “civil rights organization” called the National Action Network. Sharpton claims to put in a 40-hour workweek at NAN, in addition to preparing for and putting on his daily radio and television show.

By the way, is the IRS at all interested in how Sharpton manages to do all this -- and still work 40 hours per week to justify his $250K NAN CEO salary? No, the standard 24-hour day clearly does not apply to Sharpton.

Celebritynetworth.com clocks him in $5+ million. Not bad for “no justice, no peace.”

Al Sharpton, FBI Informant--Untold Story Of How Activist Once Aided Probes Of NYC Wiseguys --Probably cut a deal

April 07, 2014 Attorney General , Beyonce and Jay Z 0 Comments
By The Smoking Gun, Apr. 7, 2014

 *** Also in the article:  According to its most recent IRS return, which Sharpton signed in mid-November 2013, the National Action Network pays him $241,402 annually for serving as president and CEO. In return for that hefty salary, Sharpton--who hosts a three-hour daily radio show in addition to his nightly cable TV program--reportedly works a 40-hour week for the not-for-profit (which lists unpaid tax liabilities totaling $813,576). ***

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 wasseated 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. His former confederates were a decidedly dicier lot: ex-convicts, extortionists, heroin traffickers, and mob henchmen. The man’s surreptitious recordings, FBI records show, aided his government handlers in the successful targeting of powerful Mafia figures with nicknames like Benny Eggs, Chin, Fritzy, Corky, and Baldy Dom.

Later this week, Obama will travel to New York and appear in a Manhattan hotel ballroom at the side of the man whom FBI agents primarily referred to as “CI-7”--short for confidential informant #7--in secret court filings. In those documents, investigators vouched for him as a reliable, productive, and accurate source of information about underworld figures.

The ex-informant has been one of Obama’s most unwavering backers, a cheerleader who has nightly bludgeoned the president’s Republican opponents in televised broadsides. For his part, Obama has sought the man’s counsel, embraced him publicly, and saluted his “commitment to fight injustice and inequality.” The president has even commented favorably on his friend’s svelte figure, the physical manifestation of a rehabilitation effort that coincided with Obama’s ascension to the White House. This radical makeover has brought the man wealth, a daily TV show, bespoke suits, a luxury Upper West Side apartment, and a spot on best seller lists.

Most importantly, he has the ear of the President of the United States, an equally remarkable and perplexing achievement for the former FBI asset known as “CI-7,” the Rev. Al Sharpton.
