They had a witness in family secrets who gave the names under oath of 60 made outfit guys, and at the same time, claimed there were only 28. In other words, they contradicted their own witness testamony
This has been explained several times over. There was a small snippet in one of the Chicago papers about Calabrese identifying some 60 members of the Outfit. Not long after, the we had a few different FBI officials in Chicago cite 25, 28, and 30 made members remaining. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that those 60 members Calabrese identified were past and present. And that's assuming the reporter who originally wrote about the 60 "members" wasn't just using that term generically like many do. So, no, this is not an example of the FBI lying or changing it's story. Sorry.

They declared rockford "extinctt" Then named a boss and a leadership When the boss died, they declared it extinct again They then gave the name of the new boss of the extinct family. Then when that boss of the extinct family died, they declared he Was not the boss of Rockford after all, but an outfit associate Again they declared Rockford extict weeks later...(wait for it)...the named yet another new boss
God only knows what the heck you are talking about. Rockford hasn't been recognized by the feds as a viable family since the late 1980's. All we have is the Calabrese affidavit that refers to the late Frank Saladino as the boss of the Rockford LCN. But that in no way means there is still a family there. As I have already explained before, the feds had also given that title to guys like D'Elia (despite there being no Bufalino family left), LoScalzo (depite there being no Tampa family left), Smaldone (despite there being no Denver family left), Milano (despite there being no LA family left), and so on. The feds never changed their tune about Rockford. It's been defunct as a family for years and there has only been one relatively small gambling bust out of there going back more than a decade. Nobody is "opening the books" there so you can end the charade.
Right, the FBI, which we have already established lies and presents misinformation by it's own admission, does not recognize a "Rockford family"...yet they continued to name new bosses as recently as 2011,(Thanks for proving my point) except for the one that they first said was a rockford boss, and then claimed was an outfit associate...in case you are confused, it cant be both Rockford has indeed opened it's books and is making a killing in the semi legit real estate and construction rackets, you wouldntb know this becuse "you never question the feds"...you know, the same feds who openly admitt their public media is full of misinformation...lol Like all of us keep trying to tell you, you will never get an accurate picture of LCN by reading bogus FBI public bullitins

Been there and done it I am very much for real, so if you ask, make sure you really want to know.
