Democrat judge Jack B. Weinstein is very tough on Mafia cases, but goes in the other direction in all other cases. He is usually very liberal in his trial rulings and sentencing, but when it comes to mob cases he is tough. Republican and conservative groups have asked him in the past to step down due to a perceived bias.

Former federal prosecutor John Kroger worked for Bill Clinton during his presidential campaign, and is a lifelong Democrat. He was tough on Mafia, he sent one of the Persicos to prison. I think it's obvious both parties are tough on mob, I don't see either as mob friendly. I think the Democrats here will say that the Republicans are mob friendly, and the Republicans will keep saying that the democrats are.
