The answer is yes, you're just agreeing with me, because yes, he's bringing a criminal situation to John Gotti that didn't exist before.

If another criminal came to me and said, Michael, let's do this crime together, and I did it, okay, I did it.

But if the government sent that guy in there, then the government is manufacturing that crime.

You're right.

But there would be no crime if the government didn't make that happen.

You're bringing that crime today.

It doesn't matter if you're random or not.

Everybody has the same rights.

If you're alleged to be a criminal, but you didn't commit a crime, you still have rights as an American citizen.

So it doesn't matter what you think, doesn't matter what you suppose, doesn't matter.

You could say, yeah, John Gotti's doing a million different things.

We don't know what they are, but let's get somebody to do something so that we do know what it is.

You're manufacturing that crime.

It didn't exist before.

Fellow New Yorker, thank you.

How are you?

Or by bringing that confidential informant in, you're manufacturing it, as far as I'm concerned, because it wasn't there before this particular informant brought it to the alleged defendant or perpetrator, let's put it that way.

I was very familiar with the Gambino family.

Yeah, you're bringing together the totality of the tools that you have, the weapons that you have to investigate this crime.

Correct.
