The Rev. Al Sharpton may claim he wore a wire for the feds because he had been threatened by the mob — but a new report says he turned rat to save himself after a federal drug sting.

The FBI “flipped” the bombastic reverend after agents confronted him with a surveillance video showing him discussing cocaine with an ­undercover agent, The Smoking Gun Web site said Wednesday.

During that March 1983 conversation, Sharpton wore a cowboy-like hat that was garish by even the rabble-rousing preacher’s 1980s standards.

He later showed up at a Manhattan apartment for another meeting that June with the agent, who was posing as a “former South American druglord seeking to launder money through boxing promotions,” the report said

Instead, Sharpton was met by G-men who were not undercover — and who showed him the “drug” video, the Web site said, citing a source familiar with Sharpton’s secret FBI file.

“The panicked reverend agreed — on the spot — to cooperate with federal agents,” The Smoking Gun said.

Rev Al a junkie? Well,that would surely explain the fact that he now looks like a survivor of the Bataan Death March.

The Family's are fighting as we speak to be the one who puts the scum out of OUR misery. . . . .

Hey, let’s not compare those fine men to this rat.

I Read this on “The Smoking Gun” a few days ago...
hope the mob eventually “gets” him!

Snitches get stitches, per the culture he advocates for.

The FBI be racist!!!

All investigative ‘reporters’ TOGETHER working for NBC and MNNBC would not be able to recognize a criminal if the person was standing next to them at the company Christmas party...

Clueless ... totally clueless people.

Might be why NBC and MSNBC shill for democrats... their 'reporters and editors' are susceptible to flattery, idiocy and simple con jobs.... Which also explains 'Meet the Press"...

I kind of figured they might have had the goods on him.

So “Reverend” Al is a junkie AND a snitch! I bet that’s going to go over good with “Holders People”

I wonder who he helped get arrested, to save his ass?

Sharpton is and has always been a lowlife and a con artist.

This is all precisely why up until now, Sharpton isn’t gazing through iron bars.

Point well taken.However,rest assured that I was only making a point about physical appearance.

Sharpton was a filthy fat pig at one time and now he has lost weight..He got himself a little girl and lost weight..Look at this picture he looks like a bobble head..you know those things that are put on some peoples dash of their car..

[Mouton]

Sound akin to Marion Barry, former DC Mayor.

Bolivian Marching powder actually ;)

That said, I doubt there was one person of ‘fame’ in 80s NYC that had a heart rate under 120.

Now I guess we know where all the expensive suits came from at a time he had no visible means of support.

He also fraudulently hid the snitch income form the man who won a defamation of character lawsuit against him with a very large monetary award

Hope Al gets to shake hands with Jimmy Hoffa. Senior, that is
