The Sopranos FBI Frank Cubitoso Story 

i know...i liked Harris

No. He was thinking bringing up his mother to flip Tony was the wrong play.

@@deepatel123 that makes sense.

@@deepatel123 exactly!! Playing that tape would only make Tony mad, it wasn't going to make him flip... it was absolutely the wrong play

And how he's embarrassed his boss is putting on airs to impress/intimidate Tony.

yup

Same thing with the DEA in Breaking Bad.

Yea same with every level of law enforcement in this country. Obviously no person or organization is perfect. If they were there would be no unsolved murders would there???

Most law enforcement agencies in real life are incompetent. Luckily, the criminals are even worse.

Agreed. Although I do think the trajectory of the show would’ve been very different if Nancy Marchand had lived. Livia testifying over the airline tickets was going to be a big deal and could’ve been a huge win for the feds. Once she died the show pivoted to make the other mobsters and the NY crew a bigger threat to Tony. Notice how Ralph is introduced immediately after Livia dies.

😄

She ruined everything

it was gabagol

That was macaroni and gravy. She had to ring the corn chowder out of her panties into a bowl for them.

She just couldn't resist the lard bread....

Makes me wonder why Agent Harris ended up on Tony’s “side” at the end, knowing he probably had Aide murdered

@@scottmcgilvery8511 He understands that it's the name of the game and the rules they play by. He could've just as easily felt bad for the countless others Tony had killed that he never met

@@casualxxgamerxx9662 for sure by the end he does get the game, but I am not too sure how idealistic he was about protecting society from organised crime the first time he enters the Soprano household - or before that when he signs up to join the FBI

Yeah the only one who was clueless was the DEI hire...go figure.

😂

You know he's into Richie for 8 large! Send him out!😂

I think it was worth every penny to find out jr was playing short stop for the Mets!

He probably got it from Sil...

@@skullduggery3377 Good one.

That and that she was drinking all the time at this point so she was probably quite pissed.

But why threaten someone whom you want to cooperate with the possibility of getting killed

@RageQuitPros it's a scare tactic. Your family will think you betrayed them, so you might as well stay with us, but we won't protect you if you don't snitch.

@@db153yt That is a horrible tactic, no wonder the feds couldn't make a case against Tony. And that got her killed anyway idk why she even brought it up with Chrissy, he immediately took Tony's side even though he didn't want to

Not to mention that pygmy channel pure kino.. hehehehehe

You're a man ceerious, that's saying a lot these days

Man just watching this they really did Adriana dirty. The feds are the real pygmy thing. They are total f ups and get so many people killed on this show, just as dirty as this thing of ours

No ceerious. It either has copyrights or no copyrights... There's no clips in my playlists! Make it demonetized!

@@j2times2006 🤣

Nooooo!!! I liked Frank Pellegrino so much, was very badass in Gotti (my favorite version) and smartass here in the show, but always like an authetic Italian American FBI chief

i agree! I wish i got to meet him.

@@ceerious 👍

He was one of the owners of Rao’s restaurant? I bought some of their frozen delicacies from the grocery stores . Interesting

@@ktothec24 He was, yes.

Chase cast a lot of the minor roles with people with little to no acting experience but one of the relatively consistent qualifications is that they act or actually be very Italian American.

Sicilians, I'm I right 😂

@@reycesarcarino4653 I'm no Marco Polo, but I do believe Sicily is an island.

@@missbelled6700 next to the Sunny Peninsula

What the fuck is your problem

Yes, Tony is from region Campania, Naples and its surroundings, Italy is sunny peninsula ,mediterrean region, a lot of sun ​@@missbelled6700

She was so game goofy😔

She should have shut her mouth

FBI for this case is unfair🤔

Here goes another keyboard lawyer, most people need to worry about being swindled by police. Not everyone is an expert on law because they watch true crime shoes

theyre just as crooked as the mob sometimes lol

down to earth. Frank was too though kinda. I've seen worse 😆

FBI has been some grimey players since the day of Hoover. Same Ship different Skipper

For him it was business going after Tony. It was never personal and he liked satriale's. Cubitoso was directly responsible for Adriana's death

@@jefferycrouse4652 It was Adriana's fault for staying with a junkie who hit her. It was Christopher's fault for telling Tony. It was Tony's fault for giving the order. Cubitoso was maybe the 6th or 7th person on the totem pole of whose fault it really was and even then it was indirectly and to take down the mafia.

​@@LosOjosTristes I definitely blame Christopher and Tony the most, but Cubitoso is definitely number 3 on the list of blame. You're underplaying the FBI's decision to work through Adriana. She's very clearly not an affective CI. After one or two meetings with her they would have been better off just going to Christopher directly and leveraging his connect to help Adrianna. Or at least coaching her to work Christopher from the get go instead of rushing it like they did. The FBI (at least Harris and Cubitoso) made a high risk, low reward move and they knew it. I understand your inclination to blame Adrianna first, but victims of abuse staying with their abusers is a very complicated subject and, unfortunately, is fairly common in the real world. Before the FBI got involved, Christopher easily could have had her killed just for leaving and probably would have based on his abusive possessiveness of her and his decision that lead to her death. Even if he wouldn't have had her killed, she's financially dependent on Christopher and his mob connections. If she left, she would have to move far away. Moving across town is expensive let alone across the country. All of her jobs except working for Artie were mob jobs. Even Artie's restaurant seems to be fairly dependent on Tony's patronage. She could maybe have leveraged her job experience to land a job on her own merits since she did seem to be pretty good at running the club, but it would be a hard industry to get into if you didn't have any connections. Lastly, her family members and friends were all mob connected. If she wanted to leave she doesn't really have a non-mob support network to help her adjust to a new life. The only non-mob friend she had was "Danielle" which is why she seems more hurt by the reveal than by being busted and why she attaches to Agent Sanseverino when she becomes Ad's handler.

It was that parasite he caught in diarrheastan

Stress of working against the Mafia?

anyway thats how borko and them are doint things over there. i think he bngs his wife in installments

I heard that when she hauls azz, she has to make 2 trips

​@ceerious they collab with anyone and everyone over there. Theres no silver play button on the table. It either has meaning or it doesnt

@@ceeriousyou don’t give a fuck about them, you just wanted them to stay together long enough just so you could find clips out

hahhaa@@ceerious

Fbi have never really been good guys ..the person is just a disposable asset😮

There’s an IRL case of a kid in Florida who was arrested for drugs, and was made an informant in exchange for not getting charged. He got killed one month later, and the police nor the college never told his mother. Up to this day, the college refused to take responsibility.

@@Blueoriontigerdolly mans hanover 18? what is there to apologize for

@@Blueoriontigerwhite boy Rick

Imo it wasnt the protection aspect that fucked them, it was that they were pressing wire-wearing on people who A. Wouldnt let their friends/family know about the situation and B. Wouldnt be able to get any information without eavesdropping and surveillance (i.e. hidden cameras, distributing business camera footage). Irl, it would have to be a combination of budget, skill, foresight, and experience issues, and the conflict between the FBI and local detectives- and the crimes they can each attest to.

They weren’t gonna have a body or any real evidence to prosecute that and they knew it.

@@superwario2741there was no witness for the Sal murder. Your speaking of the Mathew beveliaqua murder

@zaey_trox Or buried on a hill with pinecones around them

IRL hilliary facilitated the sale of tons of yellowcake uranium through Russia to Iran and FBI lacked interest.

Borko gets a Whitmans, or maybe a singing fish.

Serbian deli trays... do they include gabagool?

@@starguy2718 cevapi.. hehehehehe

great actor

Yup. Once he said “turn her over to pd” I was like oh it wouldn’t be a fed case and she could of easily beat it but the fact that she is irresponsible would still get her taken out because she’s a liability.

@@larryzeldin7561she was dumb

@@OlgaSmirnova1 Christopher fault for not teaching her the basics. I hustled at a young age,all my ex girlfriends were taught the basics on the judicial system… hell they were interested in it themselves and wanted to learn. If you dating someone that is doing something illegal then you should know what to do and what not to do. Carmella knew exactly how to handle the fbi,she probably wouldn’t of made a mistake like that. Lawyer up right away,you don’t speak to the police period.

@@larryzeldin7561 agree

Because she wasn’t very smart or clever.

They also Understood it was 100% thier actions that got her wacked... Nice silent moment for all of them there.. Great directing

Tony's vipers impression is spot on

cent ann

You know what they say about Ladies in Waiting

She wasn't really innocent though

She was the weakest link, the easiest 'in' to the Soprano family. Being involved with a crime family, however remotely, takes much cunning and streetwise intelligence. Add a diet of booze n drugs to the mix and mistakes will always be made, just a matter of time.....

Yeah her being all giddy for her criminal boyfriend graduating to the next level of criminal is innocent 😂

Because it’s how they catch criminals but the FBI in real life would never be this incompetent.

🤣🤣🤣

That Still ain’t enough to satisfy these co*k suckers

Uploading w 3 hands and look at how he earns 🤌🤌🤌

does borko do ur collections?

Next time, there won't be a 'next time'.

It was the early 00s. It was the norm

I think it’s an intentional costume choice to subconsciously show how inept and unprofessional the Feds are in this show. At least that’s what I get from it lol

you wanna make one? lol. i'll do it. if we can get a good team.

@@ceerious - I'll call little Carmine. Maybe brainless the 2nd could help you out.

why dollar signs

FBI Never had the Makings of a Varsity RICO Case.. Files were too small😂😂

he in italian said "i will make your b-hind larger than this" and made the gesture of how big

If trump has his way they will have no money nor offices at all..... FBI files episodes on YT are even cooler then the sopranos... FBI really does good work in these unsolvable cases... impressive to say the least...

@@ColinoDeani What’s YT short for?

@@orionion Y.OU T.UBE... Wtf else would it stand for? Whyt? that doesn't even match the comment so why even ask the question... lol all due respect, stop sipping the trump juice, causes Fangol di cervello .. tutte le eta.. lol 😆

especially that dog

with permission from the judge

A bit of this can be seen in Americans (good series overall, but kinda heavy).

isnt their win rate in court like 95%?

@@ceerious its 90% but that includes plea out only 2% of federal defendants go to trial and the feds have an 83% conviction rate with only 17% winning in that 2%, the other 8% had their cases dismissed before or during trial on procedural grounds

Tell that to Polanski

It was always supposed to be quiet. Im sure it is in the US. . the Camorra and N'Dragheta in Italy is still goin. I dont know what's going on in Sicily though.

twice lol

What’re ya gonna eat? Hey waiter! Doesn’t sound like omission of guilt to me

he was showing how big he can make the hole.

@@ceerious Yeah, I'm still missing something. Time for my yearly rewatch lol

@@bigbabybiscuits def a rewatch always good

no

Since cocaine was distributed on Adrianna's property and the FBI has a recording of her admitting it's her coke, according to New Jersey it could be anywhere between 10-20 years plus a $400k fine. On top of that, because her cocaine was related to a homicide, that's an additional 20-30 years. So depending on how the FBI pushed the narrative and how stupidly Ade handled the situation, she could be in jail for up to 50 years. Obviously it wouldn't be that severe, but that's just enough fear the FBI needs to get Ade to cooperate with them.
