Let's say it's something the Godfathers. Let's say it's different mafia families. Sometimes they make alliances and sometimes they work to weaken other families. The crime family have certain rules among each other.

Let's say the Barr family is one crime family. A smaller one that the others aren't so fond of.

It's better to think off all these families like mob families. You have the Clintons, the Obamas, Schiffs, The Scwartz, ect.

Now what is the best way to take down a mafia families? Infiltrate? Get a cop in there? Flip some high level members?

What flips people? Doubt? Distrust?

Remember, criminals naturally distrust each other. They just know what will happen if one betrays the other.

It doesn't work for Trump to try and just put patriots in his administration. The corrupt senate will never allow it. No, he can get a "few" in through deals, procedural tricks, and other games, but he'll still have to let in some of their people.

So if you have to let in some trusted families to please the "political mafia" families, how do you use this to your advantage. How do you flip people?

You have to pick out people they trust so who do you choose? Someone you can flip. Someone you have dirt on. Someone you can make them doubt...
