What nonsense ! Gotti wasnt throwing Sammy under the bus. Can you imagine telling Gravano, “ hey, they need me on the street so Im going to place all the blame on you”. Its absurd.
If Gravano’s name was never on tape and he was still indicted, Gravano still would of ratted. You have to understand, Gravano was supposed ro be this tough gangster and he isnt supposed to rat. He needed to save face.
