FBI Files: Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi's Father Thomas D'Alesandro Jr. Was "Constant Companion" Of Notorious Mobster Benjamin Magliano
Nancy Pelosi's father Thomas D'Alesandro Jr. allegedly was a "constant companion" of notorious mobster Benjamin "Benny Trotta" Magliano and other underworld figures during his political years in Baltimore, MD. D'Alesandro was a Congressman for five terms from 1938 to 1947, and Baltimore mayor for three terms from 1947 to 1959. Magliano was identified by the FBI as one of Baltimore's "top hoodlums," and he widely was acknowledged as the representative for New York's Frankie Carbo who made his bones with Murder, Inc. and later became a made guy in the Lucchese family. The allegations are included in D'Alesandro's recently-released FBI files which Friends of Ours has obtained pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act.

Great.
His daughter wants to do to the US what he did to Baltimore.
It wouldn’t surprise me a bit if most of the congresscretins have similar histories. The Kennedy “Camelot” myth was built on a foundation of illegal booze smuggling during prohibition. Probably most elected officials at the national level have benefitted from criminal activity (theirs or their parents/grandparents).
And no, that’s not intended as an excuse for Pelosi or any sort of cover. She’s horrid and didn’t fall far from her father’s horrid tree, to mangle a metaphor.
This is painful ...
