This is from the 1960s to 1980s. For the record Scarpa was not the only Colombo member talking before the 1980s.


Giacomo, you and I don't always see eye to eye and agree on things. And sometimes we don't even get along.

But I do commend you on what you just said here. And I do agree with you 1000% on this particular subject matter.

Junior was no rat. And if he was, these bullshit documents that were wantonly blasted in the newspaper certainly don't prove it!

They gotta show us the proof. Legit proof, not BS.
