Ex-NY Cop Bo Dietl: Informant Sharpton Known as "Fat Rat"

Former NYPD detective Bo Dietl told Fox News on Tuesday the Rev. Al Sharpton was known as "the fat rat" — and that the MSNBC host had likely been turned into an FBI informer after he was filmed allegedly trying to buy cocaine.

Host Sean Hannity showed a video, first aired by HBO in 1983, of the civil rights activist apparently attempting to buy kilos of the drug from an undercover FBI agent.

Sharpton admitted that he had cooperated with an FBI investigation into New York’s Genovese crime family, but he denied being paid to snitch on the mob. Dietl, however, said it was well known that Sharpton was helping the FBI.

"There was a lot of involvement with the music industry at that time that Al was involved in," Dietl said. "People I knew from East Harlem, everyone on the streets at that time, knew he was an informant. We used to call him the fat rat."

A motivating discussion is definitely worth comment.
There's no doubt that that you need to publish more on this subject,
it may not be a taboo matter but typically people don't speak
about such topics. To the next! Many thanks!!

If you are purchasing a new phone for yourself, your teen, or your
significant other, seek out a GPS-enabled model.
Both online and offline stores that sell surveillance, or so called 'spy' equipment,
post disclaimers stating that the products they sell are not to be used illegally.
The top element may be the mobile spy software program performs on all
phones which includes i - Phone, android, and blackberry.
