Al Sharpton, FBI Informant Allegations, and "The Cat" Defense
The Smoking Gun recently revealed that Al Sharpton served as an FBI informant in the 1980s, known as "CI-7." Sharpton defended his actions at a National Action Committee event, claiming he was cooperating with law enforcement to get guns and crime out of the community. He famously stated, "I'm a cat, not a rat," arguing that he was helping the government investigate mobsters who were exploiting black artists like James Brown.
