Sit Down with the REAL Donnie Brasco (Joe Pistone) and Michael Franzese

It didn't have to be about, you know, criminal enterprises, you know about the gambling operation. operation that operation uh whatever, so I became close to him in that way, in fact, one day we were having dinner at Creasy remember Chris, oh yeah, you know, those are my dad's cousins, kids, that's right, I I ran a place, yeah I did it quickly, Joe, they were my dad's cousins, but every time we went there, I don't know if you remember the bartenders. He used to try to steal our account all the time, jeez, my dad wanted to beat him up so many times I had to stop him, yeah, he says Mike, check the check, I said there are cousins ​​you don't trust.

They are bad people but the food was excellent we were having dinner at Plicates it makes me sunny he says Donny I'm going to ask you a favor he said and I said yes honey what did he say if they cut me I want you to do it? Promise me you will take care of my son. Wow, I mean, yeah, you can't get any closer than that, yeah, yeah, so let me ask you this, Joe, it's a natural question, you know just out of curiosity on my part. I had lawyer evidence against these guys. How did you do it?

How did you feel? Were you able to separate it? Look, this is my job and these are my feelings. Yes, yes, Michael. I was. I mean, I

real

ly was. I never had. I never had any problems. Those lines and I think because, again, you know, like I said before, I always felt that everyone makes decisions in life, you made the decision to go that way, I made the decision to go this way, as long as I feel comfortable with the evidence I collect. It's legit, I don't have any problems now. Did I want to see Sunny get trimmed?

No, that was wrong. I want to see the mirror. I wasn't too bothered when the piano change cut out. You know, Lefty didn't get cut, but. As you know, he was on his way to being cut and they warned him that they picked him up on the wire and grabbed him before he got there, he got to the bar, as for going to jail, I didn't do it. I don't regret what I didn't want to see, I didn't want to see anyone be affected by what I did right, you know, but again, they knew the consequences, yeah, where you are in life, well, ya You know.

I'm telling you from our perspective, most of us like, my dad, we talked, you know, as long as the agents did their job and didn't fabricate evidence, we understood, you know you were on one side, we were on the other, and you already know. My dad always told me that you respect, you respect the authorities, as long as they do their job, that's their job and we do it in all trials, Michael, which I never had, I never had one delivered or lost in a false um. evidence false testimony, you don't know one, not one, and I don't know if I ever told you this in some of our conversations, but after it came to light who I was in the newspapers, right, son knows what it is, what it's because you I know he introduces me to Santo Trafficante, he introduces me to I mean, you know everyone, yes, I mean everyone, so he knows he has a problem, so he understands it and you probably

real

ize it.

I mean, he gets a phone call that he has. he go sit down, and this is actually true because I got it from his girlfriend at the time, who I knew and I'll get to that, that's all for today, but we have a lot more to come in part two. You'll be fascinated by some of the things you didn't see in the movie and haven't heard anywhere else uh joe perstone
