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 preachers 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 Sharptons 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.

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"...

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.
To: jimbo123
This is all precisely why up until now, Sharpton isn’t gazing through iron bars.

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
