Salvatore ‘Sammy the Bull’ Gravano says anybody else would get “20 [years] to lifetime sentences for this kind of stuff.”
A former Gambino underboss expressed his dismay over the latest bombshell report and lack of criminal prosecution related to the Biden family’s influence peddling investigation.
Salvatore “Sammy the Bull” Gravano, who served time for racketeering and became a government witness against boss John Gotti, joined Fox News’ “Watters World” on Thursday to offer his take on a bank investigator flagging “unusual” and “erratic” wire transfers to Hunter Biden’s bank accounts.
A money laundering investigator for one institution in a 2018 email said the payments didn’t appear to match with “any services rendered” by Owasco P.C., an entity controlled by Hunter, which host Jesse Watters said amounted to a “bribe.”

“It’s mind-blowing. I don’t understand how the country is just sitting back listening to these things and no action is being taken,” Gravano said, adding other people might receive “20 to lifetime sentences for this kind of stuff.”
That $40,000 payment from China ultimately ended up in Joe Biden’s account, according to the House Oversight Committee.
Hunter’s China ties “may require re-evaluation of relationship with the customer,” the bank official added.

Gravano said he knows there are good people within the bureaucracy who want to speak out against the blatant corruption but are intimidated by retaliation.
“Without a doubt,” he said. “I cooperated years ago. Everybody knows it – with the FBI, the federal government, some prosecutors, John Gleeson and different judges. And they were so honest. It was unbelievable. I was proud to be with them for a while. I’m still friends with a lot of them.”
“And some of them tell me, ‘Sammy, I spent my whole life in the FBI. I’m embarrassed to tell somebody I’m an FBI agent. And I said, Don’t feel like that. Just get out. Speak. Talk against it. Do something,’” he added.
When asked if the corruption he’s seeing in the government reminds him of his past mafia activities, Gravano claimed the government makes the mob look like “choirboys.”
“We did things – I don’t even want to compare. We’re like choirboys compared to these people,” the former mobster claimed, adding that “protecting the public” was something the mafia always had in mind when conducting its activities.
He cited New York City as an example, noting violent crime was much lower when the mob controlled the streets.
