Lots of Godfather references
Jerry Nadler - The Godfather
-
Jerry Nadler, the man Schneiderman identified in that victory speech as his mentor
-
“It’s symbolic of Jerry Nadler’s precise, pragmatic approach that he was already reaching out to district leaders while others were sending ‘Get Well’ cards,”
-
The resonance he has with the decision-makers at the Times is one of the greatest assets Nadler brings to a campaign.
-
Nadler becomes the boss when he needs to be. Or when he wants to be. A couple of calls to judicial convention delegates have sparked scattered complaints about his heavy hand. More than one black robe over the years has gone to a Nadler friend all of them qualified, respected and supported more widely, certainly. But the congressman’s preference has not gone unnoticed.
-
Others see a dynamic more like a family, with all of its function and dysfunction. Nadler is the head, not paternalistically but in the sense that he was in office long before any of them, and they all look up to him.

-Furthermore, all should understand that what Nadler said upon ascending to this position that ‘I will do everything in my power to continue to press on holding the Trump Administration accountable’ is every bit as much gangsterese in nature as the infamous line from the Godfather vis a vis ‘making an offer that can’t be refused’.

On “multiple occasions,” according to prosecutors, Stone urged Credico to pull a “Frank Pentangeli.” The special counsel describes Frank Pentangeli as “a character in the film The Godfather: Part II, which both STONE and Person 2 had discussed, who testifies before a congressional committee and in that testimony claims not to know critical information that he does in fact know.”
