Never been a fan.

Yeah, those guys have done a real bang up job.

The Outfit at one time was an extremely powerful organization, preposterously powerful, really. It may have been vile but it was undeniably powerful.

Today it's basically the equivalent of a bunch of fifth rate hubcap thieves.

So saying the above people are "power brokers" is like saying the manager of a fried chicken stand is a "mover and shaker" in the restaurant industry by comparison.
