Biden's Hit Man




Book: Mafia Hit-Man & Teamster Boss Helped Joe Biden Become U.S. Senator


 
In 1972 Mafia hit-man Frank Sheeran received a visit from “a very prominent lawyer” he knew who was “very big in the Democratic Party” in Delaware.

The November general election was approaching, and the race for the U.S. Senate seat held by a Republican was expected to be close. The lawyer wanted help in preventing the distribution of a paid Republican political ad – an insert in the Delaware-wide newspapers – that would run for a week and expose the campaign misrepresentations by the Democratic challenger. Sheeran promised the operative that he “would hire some people and put them on the picket line.” He added, “People nobody would mess with.”
 
The picket line went up, the papers were not delivered all week, and, as Sheeran said, “The day after the election the informational picket line came down, and the newspaper went back to normal and Delaware had a new United States Senator.” His name was Joe Biden. Thereafter, said admitted extortionist, thief and murderer Sheeran, of Biden, “You could reach out for him, and he would listen.” [RED STATE continued]


The book (Just $10.85 from Amazon) is being made into a movie called The Irishman, starring Robert De Niro , Al Pacino , Joe Pesci, and directed by Martin Scorcese.  Bet's on whether this episode reaches the silver screen- anyone?.  And how many democrats does this make who used mob ties to get elected? Let's start with JFK.

  1. I just watched Kill the Irishman earlier this week. It's playing again (DISH) 9/10 2:30pm on ESUSP (Encore Suspense). Came in late to the movie so recording in entire on Monday. It's a good one. Ray Stevenson -Titus Pullo- from HBO's ROME, plays Danny Green, The Irishman. It was quite good and the ending is the best. Whole-heartedly recommend it.

    Talk about yer all-star cast! Vincent D'Onofrio stars with Stevenson, and Val Kilmer, but I do not remember any Joe Pesci being in this movie as is stated in the article.
