Sharpton was ‘eager to sell coke’ in the ’80s: pal [yet more skeletons in Al's closet]

....At the third meeting with Quintana, Sharpton made sure to go alone — wearing a cowboy hat and chomping on an unlit cigar, which was made famous in footage from the FBI surveillance leaked in 2002....

And once he was caught, he had no choice but to wear a wire to save his ample hide from prison.

“Sharpton said they could do whatever they wanted with him after that,” Curington said. “Because they had him. Either he worked for them or they put that news out there that he was into coke.”....

Curington said the activist put on a good show with his bluster and conviction — but inside, Sharpton was terrified of his FBI role, recording murderous mobsters like Joseph “Joe Bana” Buonanno.

“He was absolutely frightened about the job he had to do for the FBI,” Curington said. The feds trained Sharpton immediately, and “he didn’t know how to handle it.”

“He was really tormented. I told him, ‘You should have just listened to your advisers. Because you’re in deep.’ I said, ‘Why are you talking to these types of people?’ He was just greedy. It was all for money.”

Even as he preached against the ravages of crack cocaine on the inner city, Sharpton loved the white powder, Curington said.....

Seems like a snippet from the down low.

The 'reporters' at MSNBC wouldn't know a criminal if he was standing next to them at the company Christmas party...

Your post is well worth a repeat!

Yes, he’s the political activism version of Don King.

Maybe he gets it for Obama and Holder. That would explain that photo of Sharpton and Holder nicely.

“I was never told I was an informant with a number,” Sharpton said Tuesday.

“In my own mind, I was not an informant. I was cooperating with an investigation.”

Coke in the ‘80s? Was he one of those corporate jerks pushing “New Coke” on us, too?

[Girlene]

That’s what I was wondering. Why now?

[ColdOne]

I am wondering the same thing..why now?

I am trying to conjure up some images of Ted Knight, er BOR, paling around with this scum bag and giving him access to his widely popular Factor show thereby placing a crown of integrity on this POS.

Not to mention Hannity, who had $harpton on his show numerous times, always introducing him as, "My very dear friend, the reverend al $harpton'>
