A pseudo-newsy update about a Facebook rant.  I think these guy's real job is to be as much of a stereotype as possible.  Grr automation bad!  They're trying to stick it to the working man!  We's got your back!

From that story I linked to above:

Along his rise to power, Daggett has been dogged by allegations that he benefited from mob support in various ways. Two decades ago, federal prosecutors in Brooklyn accused him of benefiting from a mob conspiracy to elect him head of the ILA, which he was not at the time. He was acquitted.
 
During the trial, Daggett denied wrongdoing and said he rose through the ranks because of worker support. Daggett testified that a hit man who was cooperating with the government in the case had put a gun to his head years earlier because Daggett was intent on moving the union from Manhattan to New Jersey, where many of his members work. They also relied on a star witness — the hit man who co-founded the gang the Jets and was clinically deaf so could only read lips — who wasn’t considered credible by the jury.
 
One of the co-defendants in the case was missing during the trial and later found dead in the trunk of a car outside a diner in New Jersey — also acquitted but dead.
 
Still, even after that case fell apart, federal prosecutors in Brooklyn continued to describe Daggett as “an associate of the Genovese family” in a separate but related racketeering case that has been lingering in court for nearly a decade.

Daggett sees himself as some kind of Mafioso union boss and doesn't want to back down, he also wants his kid to replace him as such and might be willing to go a little nuts about this. 

Here's what I see, and I don't like Biden.

This Daggett guy is doing this for political reasons hoping to hurt Biden and Harris before the elections. I say that's "Election Interference". He also is willing to damage the US economically for his own personal gain of having his kid replace him, that smells like Treason and self-enrichment to me. So why hasn't the DOJ or FBI gone after this guy yet? I mean if he was a small business owner that supported Trump, he would be locked away already. Kind of makes one wonder if the Genovese Family has some shadowy deal with the D'Alesandro Family, and that's why Biden and his administration hasn't done crap on this. 

Could Pelosi be behind this strike to ensure that Trump has to deal with a completely wrecked economy when he heads into office?
