Civil Rights Activist Al Sharpton secretly worked as FBI informant

By Carl Campanile and Kate Sheehy | New York Post


Meet Al Sharpton, Confidential Informant No. 7.


The longtime agitator, civil-rights activist and TV host was exposed Monday as an alleged former key FBI informant whose tips helped take down some of the biggest names in New York Mafia history.


The Rev. Al launched his sensational secret life as a paid mob snitch in the mid-1980s, pressured to cooperate after being ensnared in a developing drug sting, according to a bombshell report by thesmokinggun.com.


As CI-7, the then-portly Harlem leader would tote a customized Hartmann briefcase equipped with an FBI bug to hobnob with members of some of the citys most notorious crime families, the site said.

He griped that the report was simply an attempt to muddy him before this weeks NAN convention.


A Sharpton confidante whos known him for decades was caught off guard by the extent of the activists alleged dealings with the FBI.


Holy s- -t, the source said. This comes out of left for me. Im actually driving off the road.


But veteran Democratic political consultant George Arzt said the report is more likely to boost Sharptons standing with the public rather than hurt it.


This is just going to add to his luster of being a character, Arzt said. It does raise questions about an anti-establishment guy cooperating with the FBI. But now he is establishment.


Sharpton was considered prime fodder as a mole for the FBIs Mafia unit because of his already-existing connections to the underworld, the site said.

From Wikipedia:

Alfred Charles “Al” Sharpton, Jr. (born October 3, 1954) is an American Baptist minister, civil rights activist, and television/radio talk show host.[1][2] In 2004, he was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. presidential election.


[…]Sharptons supporters praise “his ability and willingness to defy the power structure that is seen as the cause of their suffering”[8] and consider him “a man who is willing to tell it like it is”.[8] Former Mayor of New York City Ed Koch, a one-time foe, said that Sharpton deserves the respect he enjoys among Black Americans: “He is willing to go to jail for them, and he is there when they need him.”[9]


His critics describe him as “a political radical who is to blame, in part, for the deterioration of race relations”.[10] Sociologist Orlando Patterson has referred to him as a racial arsonist,[11] while liberal columnist Derrick Z. Jackson has called him the black equivalent of Richard Nixon and Pat Robertson.[11] Sharpton sees much of the criticism as a sign of his effectiveness.
