And again, in the summer of 2009. We asked Eli Honig, the prosecutor. We asked him for the file on the latest FBI agent there. Again, nobody's ever complied. Now, I've got a tremendous amount of respect for Eli Honig. He was an amazing prosecutor. And I've got to tell you, of all the prosecutors that I've faced in my life,

Now, I've got a tremendous amount of respect for Eli Honig. He was an amazing prosecutor. And I've got to tell you, of all the prosecutors that I've faced in my life,
I think between state and federal, I know in federal, I faced 17 prosecutors or US attorneys. And I think we have a couple of the state, I think we go into about 22 or 23. Eli Hornick was a very professional prosecutor. He was good at what he did. I don't believe he ever even wanted the case. When we won the motion in Tampa, Florida, that case was dumped on his lap.

team in Tampa, Florida, came over to New York. So now I had to fight two different agencies. I had to fight the middle district of Tampa and I had a middle district of Florida, which is Tampa. I think it's the 11th circuit. And I had to fight the Southern district of New York, which was Eli Honig was the AUSA in that case. I had to fight both of them. Eli Honig had written a book. Okay.

And again, I'm trying to be expeditious here. He had written a book and in the book that he had written, He talks about the case agent on my case. And again, this may be a case of how you guys are going to edit this, but again, I'm just trying to get all this content in because it's essential to make my case, okay?

Just goes to show you about the 302, how it works out, how it's dictated, how in my particular case, 13 months later, a report was garnished, a report 13 months later, how ridiculous it is. There's dead people in a bar fight that could not have been there. The investigative detective was in the bar fight You're the greatest crime-fighting agency in the world, so you say, right, the FBI?

They did say that at one time, and I believe there are some bad apples, but I do believe the technology that they probably are the greatest crime-fighting agency in the world. You're telling me a select few decided to overlook some of these things or not even to bother to research this? Who's Riley? Who's Joe Curio? Dead man at a bar fight? Nobody chose to look at that?

Okay, I'll go along with that. But let me show you why I end up at that point. Here's Eli Honig, and again, a respected AUSA, and I have respect for him as an AUSA, because he fought the case, I believe, as fair as he possibly could with his hands tied to a point. He talks about the agent on my case, and when he talks about him, he says he was obsessed with a certain particular murder.

He was brilliant. He's brilliant. Encourageable, relentless, FBI special agent with the Queens-based Gambino squad. He had investigated and solved plenty of mob cases over his career, often deploying unorthodox techniques. Now pay attention to this one. He once typed up pages of phony transcripts.

of a wiretap that didn't exist, put them into a binder, and showed them to a Gambino soldier to try to convince him that we had him dead on wiretapping to try to make him into a rat, to flip him. Now, is that ethical? Put false documents out to try to flip somebody? To tell them they're going to get killed if they don't? Well, this is the... He's, with humor, he's openly talking about this.

I mean, I couldn't help by reading this. I read it over and over again, and I read it again, and I read it again, and I said to myself, did he say this? Because this ain't funny. This is misconduct. It's everything I've been saying that this particular agent did. It's misconduct. You're doctoring up documents. It's misconduct. That's not by the rule book. You're the FBI. You are holier than thou.
