I'll quote FBI.gov

My misinformation campaign? You're the guy who claims the Outfit has pull with President Obama through their union connections. rolleyes

Anyway, I've repeatedly said there seems to be disagreement among experts regarding the viability of the Detroit family. I've listed quotes before that didn't include Detroit on the list, which you of course ignore. Since there is disagreement, one would be justified in going either way. What makes me lean towards those who wouldn't include Detroit is the relative lack of mob cases there for over a decade now. And I don't accept any of the lame, feeble excuses people have made to explain away this fact. Nor do I accept Detroit charts showing inflated membership posted online.

And with all due respect to Fischetti and Corbett, even more than what officials say, I value what they do. They can say a family is still going strong but if that doesn't result much in them actually bringing forth ongoing cases, one can't help but question things. Especially if that continues over an extended period of time.
