Al “I Love to Play the Race Card” Sharpton Busted On Video

Just prior to the beginning of his 2004 bid for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States, Al Sharpton met with an individual named Ronald A. White in a hotel in New York. Unknown to Sharpton, the FBI had video surveillance set up on the room and recorded the entire conversation.

According to Philly.com, the two were discussing the possibility of Sharpton steering individuals to invest in a Hedge Fund operated by White in exchange for a $50,000 contribution to Sharpton’s political ambitions.

From Philly.com:

With a hidden FBI camera rolling inside a New York hotel suite in 2003, an unsuspecting Rev. Al Sharpton, Democratic candidate for president, spoke candidly.

Sharpton offered to help Philadelphia fund-raiser Ronald A. White win a multimillion-dollar business deal, if White helped him raise $50,000 for politics.

White offered $25,000. “If you bring my guys up on this hedge fund, and I have the right conversation,” White said, “I’ll give you what you need.”

“Cool,” Sharpton said.

Provided that this information is accurate, and I have no doubt as to its accuracy, it looks as though Sharpton’s statement after his offices were raided and his current and former staff members were served with subpoenas was false. Sharpton does have something to hide if this report is correct. And it seems to me that the FBI and IRS are looking for corroborating evidence to the fact.

One thing about crooks, especially amature crooks, they leave paper trails and don’t even know it.

Sharpton came out a few days ago after his offices were raided and the subpoenas were issued blasting the Bush Justice Department for harassing him. Perhaps it has nothing to do with harassment but rather putting a corrupt “politician” where he belongs… In the gray bar hotel.
