Weird Godfather Reference in Roger Stone Trial
Q sometimes refers to The Godfather movies. Watching the news tonight, Roger Stone's trial got my attention. I have also watched the first two movies quite a bit. I have never seen the III.

'Practice your Frank Pentangeli': Godfather II could be key to Roger Stone trial

by Jerry Dunleavy
| November 08, 2019 11:08 AM

But of all the names mentioned in the trial so far, perhaps the oddest has been actor Michael Gazzo’s Frank “Frankie Five Angels” Pentangeli — a former top adviser to Marlon Brando’s character Vito Corleone in The Godfather: Part Two, who cooperates with the FBI only to perjure himself while in front of a Senate committee to protect Al Pacino’s character Michael Corleone, Vito's son, from being nailed by investigators for his massive mob enterprise.

Stone, who has a decadeslong reputation for having a flair for the dramatic and absurd, repeatedly urged comedian, impressionist, and radio show host Randy Credico to “practice your Frank Pentangeli” as investigators closed in on Stone.

Prosecutors in Roger Stone Case Submit Motion to Play ‘Godfather Part II’ Clip During Trial

by Jerry Lambe | 3:55 pm, July 27th, 2019

With his avant garde outfits and tattoo of Richard Nixon’s face, Roger Stone has long been considered one of America’s preeminent political characters. But federal prosecutors in his criminal case took that notion to new heights on Friday when they filed a motion with the court requesting that the government be permitted to show the jury a four-minute clip from the classic 1974 mob film, “The Godfather Part II,” as part of their case against the former advisor to President Donald Trump.

The excerpt the government intends to show the jury involves the character Frank Pentangeli, a member of the mafia who during the film lies to a Senate committee tasked with investigating organized crime.
