(53,574 posts)he wouldn't last long in any mob organization. Yes, he is a "little crook" who was recruited by Putin. Without Putin, he would be Joe Pesci in Goodfellas.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
