The bosses of New York's five Mafia families in the mid-1980s came a hair-trigger away from sanctioning a hit on then-federal prosecutor Rudy Giuliani, according to bombshell FBI records made public today.
Before cooler heads prevailed - the mob bosses decided by a razor-thin 3-to-2 margin not to try to whack the future mayor and presidential candidate - at least two of the dons argued fervently that the mob-busting U.S. attorney should sleep with the fishes.
Bonanno boss Philip Rusty" Rastelli, Genovese chief Vincent The Chin" Gigante and Lucchese honcho Anthony Tony Ducks" Corallo all cast votes to spare the headline-grabbing prosecutor, the documents show.
But the young guns of the bunch, Gambino boss John The Teflon Don" Gotti and Colombo chief Carmine The Snake" Persico, were said to lobby in favor of the murder. .

Rudy sure fits a democrats profile!
IT is for the murder of unborn babies!
IT is a big gun control nut!
IT covered for the invaders in ITS city!
IT surrounds ITself with queers and thugs!
Why does IT have an R by ITS name instead of a D?
Well, we can avoid voting in November 2008 for Giuliani and pray that Hillary starts appointing pro-life Judges. .lol
They have no morals and as such they are just live clumps of tissue.
Either way, you have the same chance of that happening. A pro-abort President isn’t going to support people of opposite mindset. It just doesn’t happen.
Hardly a “bombshell”, at least to anyone remotely familiar with New York City and Giuliani’s tenure as prosecutor. It would be much more surprising to learn that the mob bosses had NOT seriously considered trying to have him taken out.
that didn’t stop the pittsburgh mob from trying to take out a prosecutor in youngstown, ohio. the guy was shot and barely survived. but the end result was, the feds came crashin down on that party and the head of the pittsburgh mob got sent away for a long time..
A key enabler of pedophile priests — Cardinal Law — got a job at the Vatican and participated in the ritual installing the current Pope.
Richard M. Nixon (R) 1969-1974 Nixon declared birth control a national priority, seeking “adequate family planning services [for] all those who want them but cannot afford them.” President Nixon signed Title X into law, which made contraceptives available regardless of income. Nixon also nominated U.S. Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun, who wrote the 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion nationwide. The decision was handed down a few weeks after Nixon was sworn in as president for a second term. In 1974 Nixon resigned from office as a result of the Watergate scandal.
Tony would have had sex with Judy.
On first reading of the heading, I thought this was a ‘help wanted’ piece, then realized it was a ‘historical’ reference, LOL! :-)
I don’t want to vote for Rudy, but not THAT bad, giggle. ;-)
So, you believe Rudy is telling the truth when he says he will appoint those kinds of judges? In other words, you don’t believe Rudy is lying like most politicians do to get elected? Why is Rudy more believable than any other politician?
Some people believe what politicians say even when their record says otherwise. Rudy’s record of appointing judges in NY is nothing like what he says he will do if he becomes president.
Are you really that gullible?
He is for low taxes.
He is for strong defense.
He is for winning the war against the Islamists.
He is for Constitutionalists judges.
He is for id cards for all immigrants who enter the US.
He loves America as it is.
He worked for Reagan.
He fits some of the Dem profile but not all. Rudy is what he is. He is not as conservative as Fred or even McCain but he is more honest than Mitt or Huckabee, at least as far as defending his positions. He never called those against illegal immigration racist (Huckabee) and he defended his pro-choice positions, he didn't just have a conversion come election time.
Agree...and, IMO, so is 'hero.'
Rudy did an incredible job on the Mob and cleaning up NY. Gotta give him his due.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Reminds me very much of a campaigning promise that started out with, "Read my lips......". Rudy will appoint judges that are confimable as determined by his advisers. They will all be RINOS! He is not going to fight for any confirmations through the dim controlled judiciary/Congress. He will want a 2nd term and will figure squishy appointments will aid him in that goal.
There's only one problem with this -- Giuliani has promised an awful lot, but actions speak louder than words.
Do you really expect a man who has broken his marriage vows before God and the community multiple times in the most public and egregious way, to keep a mere campaign promise?
I think it was Harry Truman who said that a man who will cheat on his wife will cheat anyone.
Quite a different situation from the others you cite, who appear by and large to have made honest mistakes. Particularly G.H.W. Bush, who received personal assurances from Sununu, who was supposed to know Souter well, that he was a reliable conservative.
“He is for low taxes.” He fights against tax cuts unless it is for his buddies.
“He is for strong defense.” He is for a police state where only police, criminals and hired thugs have weapons.
“He is for winning the war against the Islamists.” So is every person running to be the Republican Nominee except Paul.
“He is for Constitutionalists judges.” Look who he has appointed.
“He is for id cards for all immigrants who enter the US.” He fought for the criminals who overstay their visas and those who just INVADE our country.
“He loves America as it is.” So you think he will not be for the NAU, I love America for what it could be if Duncan Hunter is the Republican Nominee.
“He worked for Reagan.” President Reagan was the best in my lifetime but he did make several bad mistakes.
“He fits some (Most) of the Dem profile but not all. Rudy is what he is. He is not as conservative as Fred or even McCain but he is more honest than Mitt or Huckabee, at least as far as defending his positions. He never called those against illegal immigration (INVADERS} racist (Huckabee) and he defended his pro-choice positions, he didn’t just have a conversion come election time.”
His favorite AG was Robert Kennedy who was very tough on mobsters but they had to be enemies of his bootlegging father mobsters friends.
I would prefer a strong leader like Giuliani who has promised more appointments like Scalia, Roberts, and Alito.
Worst case scenario: Hillary wins and we get a liberal Democrat House , Senate, President and Supreme Court. I think that might persuade a few people to get out and vote.
