"Ratting Him Out"

How many of you remember the “Teflon Don”, former head of the Gambino Crime Family? His name was John Gotti and he died in prison of cancer several years ago.

John “Johnny Boy” Gotti was a young street tough who earned a spot in a Gambino’s associate’s crew. A crew is a group of criminals working for a “Capo”, who commit robbery, burglary and extortion, among other things to bring money into the “family”, and the “Don” gets a piece of everything each crew brings in. The “Don”, his “Consiglierri”, and his “Capos” are all “made men”, or “members of La Cosa Nostra”, and they are the upper echelon of organized crime in the Mafia.

John Gotti “earned his bones” by committing a murder for his Don and was considered a rising star in the Gambino organization. John became a young Capo and was eager to climb the ladder of power in the “family”. John was “old school” as a gangster and he believed in taking what he wanted. Although he didn’t commit the actual murder, he was the man who gave the order to kill Paul Castellano, the head of the Gambino Family; he then assumed the seat of power and controlled all of its operations.

John was a careful man and the “Feds” were having a tough time nailing him for anything; witnesses either refused to testify, or they mysteriously disappeared before trials. Nothing could stick to the “Teflon Don”!

Gotti’s downfall came when some government tapes caught him admitting to planning a killing, but the real catastrophe for Gotti was the testimony of his #2-man, Sammy “The Bull” Gravanno, who turned state’s evidence and sealed Gotti’s fate. Gravanno was given immunity from prosecution on several crimes to “rat out” his boss. Prison is a place nobody wants to go, including a guy as tough as Sammy Gravanno.

Over the course of the last few weeks, mounting scandals have been erupting in the administration of Barack Obama; his popularity is at an all-time low and his approval rating is lower than his predecessor, George W. Bush, at 40% and slipping.

The ongoing investigation into the IRS is becoming more volatile by the day as numerous e-mails have “disappeared” because of a crashed hard drive in the IRS records department; oddly, the same thing happened at the EPA which is also under fire.

Lois Lerner is the person who has taken the 5^th amendment previously during this investigation, and oddly, her records were the most affected by the “crashed hard drive”.

This investigation is now heating up and Ms. Lerner is the person who is at the epicenter of the entire inquiry.

Sooner or later everybody makes a mistake, and I believe this committee will use all of its power to get the most qualified technicians to scour those hard drives in an effort to find all, or at least remnants, of all of the “lost-mails” of Ms. Lerner. I have great confidence that new evidence will be recovered and Ms. Lerner will be put in a position much like that of Sammy “The Bull” Gravanno.

There are cracks showing in the Obama Administration and talk of pending impeachment are becoming louder by the day on both sides of the aisle. Obama is already pulling out the “race card” in an effort to cloud the constitutional issues that have been revealed during this investigation. It looks like Mr. Obama may not be “Teflon” and he may fall because of somebody trying to save themselves from prosecution and prison.

Things are looking difficult for Barack “Barry Boy” Obama; somebody may be “ratting him out”!!
