"Teflon Don" John Gotti, who received a massive funeral send-off from New York City crowds on Saturday, once told his brother that prosecutors had given President Clinton a pass, complaining that if the Sexgate perjurer had been Italian, "they would have electrocuted him."
Gotti, it turns out, became an avid news junkie while in prison, where he followed the Monica Lewinsky scandal intently.
Just days after news of Clinton's affair with Lewinsky exploded, Gotti caught a broadcast of Gennifer Flowers' famous audiotape in which Clinton urges her to lie about their affair during an employment discrimination hearing.
According to Gotti's brother Peter, the "Teflon Don" surmised, "He's telling [Flowers], 'Why would you want to bring this out? If anybody investigates, you lie.'"
That was Clinton's signal to Flowers that he could "get to" any judge, the Gambino crime family chief told his brother, who later revealed the insight to the New York Daily News.
Gotti's personal verdict on President Clinton? "If he had an Italian last name, they would have electrocuted him."
The victim whine is pretty pathetic coming a multiple murderer.
They'd need a lot of juice for Slick Willie.
Gotti (and the other mobsters) probably still haven't got a clue that they're just Useful Idiots for the big boys.
Given the revelations in Boston about how corrupt the FBI is recently in relation to protecting the Irish Mob at the expense of the Italian Mob- I have a jaundiced view of both the Justice Department and the FBI. There are a lot of other reasons as well. Gotti- sitting in prison- dying of cnacer- I trust more than the FBI now.
