Hard to see why Gotti would have needed anyone else’s vote to do that. But irrespective, Giuliani had a lot of guts to take on the mob.
Not scared to take on the mob, but terrified to take on the pro-abortion and gay rights groups.
That experience will come in handy as he takes on Hillary in the general election.
‘Hard to see why Gotti would have needed anyone else’s vote to do that.’
Not if you know how LEO’s react when one of their own is killed, let alone a DA.
Every illegal activity is brought to a standstill, every single person with a pending case has a great opportunity to buy their way out of it with information.
So organized crime doesn’t do such things ‘lightly’. Consider the Godfather movie, and the result of assasinating a dirty police Captain.
Thats very close to reality in its portrayal of what the reaction is to such a thing.
Its ‘bad for business’ across the board.
They had to agree to take out a high profile government official because all the families would be feeling the heat as a consenquence if they did.
The modern mob is different from the Mafia of the early 1900s. Back then they never deliberately took out anyone unless they were involved personally in criminal activities, and never touched government officials unless they had been on the take and then ratted them out.
Not really that hard to see... maybe he had "goombahs" in other mob families...
