Thanks! That was a good article.

Now I’m almost convinced it wasn’t a mob hit.

Sources now believe Cali didn’t like Comello hanging around a particular woman in the mob boss’ family — and the younger man, who is not a mobster, was so outraged by this slight that he slaughtered one of the most dangerous Mafiosi in the country to get revenge.

Cali’s niece was at the don’s mansion at the time of the hit, the sources told The Post — and may have been the subject of the dispute.

Hmmmmm ... where's the "hot" neice?

"In a fleeting gesture that Comello may now have a lifetime in prison to regret, he had picked up and handed to Cali a fallen license plate right before allegedly opening fire.

In that moment, he may have handed the murder’s most incriminating evidence to his own alleged victim, who tossed it into his car.

Crime-scene investigators dusted the license plate, ran the prints recovered from it and got a hit for Comello, whose prints are on file from his application for a rifle permit, the sources said.

Realizing it no longer had a potential well-orchestrated mob assassination on its hands, the FBI has scaled back its role in the case, leaving the NYPD in control, the sources said.

“This went from the perfect crime to amateur hour,” one law-enforcement source quipped.

Another source noted the idiocy of Comello allegedly handing Cali the number one clue to the murder.
