@joemurray5570 2 жыл бұрын

I mean, I’m sure that not everybody gets to be a “made guy”. They only make the best of the best. Well, Joe Pistone must have been the best of the best since he was about 6 months away from getting made. But he did it as an undercover agent. Then too, look at what Sonny said about him as he was voluntarily going to the sit down where he knew he would be killed. He tells the bartender that he’s going to a sit down that he may not come back from. He calls his girlfriend and tells her that if she sees Donnie: “tell him I loved him and I’m glad it was him, he was just better than us.” That’s not acting. That’s not a front put up by an undercover. That just proves what a great guy Pistone is and what an amazing job he did. 🙏🏻

I'm kinda iffy on how he felt about the compensation, whether or not he ever saw someone get killed, or if he really wasn't emotionally involved. But that in itself made the interview better for me because it left me wondering. Hell of an interview, my man. 👌🏾

Admitting to being emtionally involved would make him weak and would also make him a target by the FBI themselves. I also agree he must have done some wacky shit with the group like perhaps an orgy or some other vile stuff. Because the mobsters were in such disbelief that he was an agent, even shouting in court that Brasco should be in jail.

But not that it isn't impossible, I seem to find it hard to believe that within those 6 years of being Donnie Brosco, and only seeing his wife every 4-6 months during that time, that he didn't have a girlfriend on the side. His wife is an ace and truly deserves a medal! And, it's a shame that the FBI didn't pay Joe more money for his phenomenal loyalty and dedication.

You also have to realize that he was undercover at a time where different factions in the Bonanno family were plotting take control by wiping out the capos of another faction inside the same family. It could have turned into an all out mob war inside the family. But it ended pretty much once Sonny Black and Joe Massinos side wiped out three of the leading capos on the other side, all at once. Joe was close to Sonny Black while this was all going on which made his work even more dangerous because that power struggle could have went the other way but luckily it didn’t. So Out of all the agents who have went undercover in Cosa Nostra, he did it at time when the mob didn’t think twice about killing guys for certain reasons. 6 years that deep at that time in inside that particular mob family is crazy. He’s very lucky he made it out alive.
