      They never even dealt with the mob. I have, but I know less about it than a lot of these old school prosecutors. If you're in business with them at least as long as you're on their good side, they won't say a word about anything as far as omerta or who they are exactly. If you do something to get on their bad side, well I have no idea, never was.

      They still do stories like this, I just watched one last week on Cartels. They were also political back then too, that's nothing new. Fox was started by Murdoch to counter a perceived left wing bias by CNN. There are still news outlets who are not political though, like Reuters and Euronews, but most people want political bias in their news, hence why FOX and CNN are so popular.

Cutler crossed the line from 'mob lawyer' (a lawyer who represents a lot of gangsters) to 'house lawyer' (being actively associated with the criminal activities of a client). This is also why there's a 'crime/fraud' exception to attorney-client privilege, though I don't think that was ever used against Cutler

      I believe Michael has turned his life around though now, when asked if he "offed" anyone, his answer is no longer "no". Though he once said to his family he never did. Michael now doesn't answer that question directly but says basically, "listen, when I joined the family I had to do many things what I was asked to do. I am not proud." He once implied he doesn't answer these type of specific questions as there no statute of limitations.
