How Did Rudy Gooliani Come To Become So Close To TFG?..... [View all]

How did the two meet? How long have they known each other? What was the start of their relationship?

The reason I'm asking is because I just learned from the History Channel that Rudy in his younger years was instrumental in taking down the mafia crime families in NYC.

I'm wondering if Rudy's affiliation with the mafia in NYC had anything to do with his affiliation with Tr**p?

There's been speculation that Tr**p runs his operation like a crime boss. Does Rudy still have ties to the mafia? Does he know the secrets of the mafia that allows him to advise Tr**p and keep Tr**p from being caught?

Has our government been infiltrated by the mob?
