Veteran mob lawyers say NYC wiseguys are driving toasts to Rudy Giuliani’s recent racketeering charge in Georgia…
As well as the possibility that the former Trump attorney (and Trump) could now be convicted under the same law he used to target mafiosos.
Murray Richman—who has represented the likes of Lucchese Family boss Carmine “Mr. Gribbs” Tramunti —told The Messenger he has “spoken to several of my clients” since Giuliani, Trump, and others were charged with violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. Richman said,
You can quote me to say,
‘They’re fucking thrilled.’”
Twist of Fate: Once upon a time (back in the 1980s), when Rudy Giuliani was a U.S. Attorney, he established his career using RICO to go after the mob in New York.

Times change. Rudy definitely changed. He has now been indicted on RICO charges by the Fulton County, Georgia D.A.’s… pic.twitter.com/c29E1WhXl9
Defense lawyer Jeffrey Lichtman, who represented Gambino Crime Family member John “Junior” Gotti, also said,
All of my clients who had the misfortune of being prosecuted by him are laughing now. As am I….
It’s not just an ironic result but it’s a just result. He was a horribly dishonest prosecutor and the wheel of karma is about to crush him.”
If I can paraphrase The Godfather…
“Never take sides against the government…”
BREAKING: Mafia mobsters roar with laughter and unleash mockery after Rudy Giuliani is indicted on a racketeering charge — the exact same criminal statute he used to lock many of them up when he was the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.

Coincidentally, today is Robert DeNiro‘s 80th birthday, a guy who, as well as a rabid anti-Trumper, played more mobbed up bad guys than practically anybody in cinema history.
Happy Birthday, Bobby D!
