Reads like a Goodfellas script. I honestly have no idea what to believe. EXCLUSIVE: How a Philly mob boss stole the election — and why he may flip on Joe Biden The innermost circles of the American mafia are abuzz. The Boss of the Philly mob — ‘Skinny Joey’ Merlino — is taking a victory strut, hobnobbing around the highest echelons of old-time mafia folk, mostly in Florida, describing what may have been the heist of the century: the 2020 presidential election. The feat is drawing praise from far-flung corners of the Italian American business community, which sees the thanks of a grateful administration as key to the revival of the community’s political influence. But an associate says that Merlino might just be willing to flip on Joe Biden and the Pennsylvania political operatives who ordered up some 300,000 election ballots marked for Biden. The source alleges that Merlino and a lean team of associates manufactured those ballots at a rate of $10 per ballot — a whopping $3 million for three days of work. They were then packaged into non-descript cardboard boxes and dropped off outside the Philadelphia Convention Center. Sources who spoke to The Chronicle on the condition of anonymity say that Merlino picked up those ballots from two private households where a trusted handful of associates were busily marking ballots with Sharpie markers. They were paid more than $1,000 per hour, often producing thousands of ballots every hour for more than 60 nearly-consecutive hours. The ballots were purchased in cash. It’s thought that Democratic Party operatives working inside Philadelphia’s election office provided Merlino with crates of raw ballots just hours before polls closed on election night, which he transported to two private households in South Philadelphia. By 10 p.m. that night Merlino’s operation was already generating more than 3,000 ballots per hour, which quickly scaled to more than 6,000 ballots per hour before midnight. But now, Merlino might just be willing to flip on Biden — in primetime Congressional testimony — if President Donald J. Trump is willing to issue the longtime mobster a full expungement of his decades-long criminal record. And, of course, Merlino wants to be pardoned for the election fraud itself and any crimes to which he may incriminate himself during his testimony. “He wants a clean record. He wants to fish and hunt on federal lands. He’d really like a job with the National Parks Service. You need a clean record to get those things,” explains one confidant. “But most of all he wants the thanks of a grateful nation for coming forward.” “He wouldn’t mind a little fame — or a lot of fame,” he jokes. “If he comes forward he’ll probably get a book deal and a movie franchise.” Political observers believe that Merlino could sell the rights of his story to a major Hollywood production studio for more than $20 million, and a book deal could yield as much as $10 million. “You have to understand the thing about Skinny Joey is that he is very charismatic and knows how to tell an enthralling story,” the associate explains. “He’d be an incredible movie narrator, and he’d perform excellently in congressional testimony. He could hit that testimony so far out of the ballpark that he becomes a superstar instantaneously — a real celebrity presence.” The damning congressional testimony — being tentatively dubbed ‘The Biggest Heist in Political History’ — could make it politically impossible for the Republican-controlled legislature in Pennsylvania to certify the State’s 20 electoral votes.
The political intrigue of this election just keeps getting deeper and deeper. Physical forensics should be an effective way to verify ballots. Taking samples of questionable ballots and subjecting them to fingerprint tests and or spectral anaysis might offer a clue. A bit expensive, but given all the money spent on this election so far and the political and constitutional repercussions, it may be money well spent. Edit: If this “Mob boss” can name the who, what, where, and when, he might be seen as a credible witness.

Please see The Buffalo Chronicle featured prominently in the list. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fake_news_websites No wonder you didn't (once again) provide the url in clear text which is the accepted standard on the internet.... obviously you want to be less than transparent about the source -- knowing it was fake news from an extreme right wing website with non-factual standards for reporting.

Let's see how it goes. Sounds good---I am just waiting for evidence across the nation. I do find it interesting that 6 states stopped counting at about the same time---Izzy.
As I mentioned, dopey, I always link the same way. Don't like it? Put me on ignore and fuck off already. I also mentioned that I don't know what to believe but it was a fascinating read. Additionally I will note - once again - your complete dismissal of anything by attacking the source, and not the information (which is your modus operandi). Mediabiasfactcheck is a left wing site. So I don't really pay attention to them. So again, politely, fuck off.
Even a blind squirrel can find an acorn sometimes. Besides, if the mainstream media is not willing report on stories that go counter to their narratives, alternate information sources become potentially valuable. Too bad there is no credible service that rates the fact checkers, especially since there is a tie with at least one of the factcheckers and a Leftist media organization.
Exactly. We wouldn't have to go to small time news sources for information if the main stream media could be counted on to actually be journalists and investigate things - you know, kind of like the exhaustive investigation on Russian collusion in 2016?
If a news site comes up with a story backed with unaltered video, first hand witness statements and something beyond speculation then they may have found an "acorn". However "news sources" like The Buffalo Chronicle merely manufacture fake news with no factual content. It is the very definition of fake news --- and those re-posting it are doing a public disservice by spreading nonsense.
It should be relatively easy to disprove. Or we can just attack the source instead and continue to sow discord.
