Meet the Arizona Mafia; ties to Raniere-Bronfman-Salinas further exposed

In 1993, Napolitano was appointed by President Bill Clinton as the United States Attorney for the 
District of Arizona.

At the state level, Janet Napolitano won a statewide election and became the Attorney General of Arizona
from 1999 to 2003.

Napolitano was first diagnosed with cancer in 2000 and has been battling various cancers ever since.

Napolitano won an extremely close election as governor of Arizona in 2003 against Republican Matt Salon.

Napolitano credited former Nogales, Arizona Mayor Marco Lopez, “the youngest Mayor in America,” for
delivering the votes late that night of the election, that she said pushed her over the top and made her
the Governor of Arizona.

In August of 2008, Janet Napolitano, her right-hand man, Dennis Burke, Noah Kroloff, and Arizona-Mexico
Commission Director Marco Lopez, flew together with Jeffrey Peterson on Peterson’s Cessna Citation X
private jet, from Phoenix, Arizona, to Denver Colorado, where Napolitano gave a speech endorsing
presidential candidate Barack Obama. At that convention, Hillary Clinton nominated Obama as the official
candidate of the Democratic Party for President of the United States.

On November 4, 2008, Barack Obama won the presidential election.

The next day, November 5, 2008, Napolitano and her right-hand man, Dennis Burke, joined the Obama-Biden
Transition team in Washington, D.C.

The following month, in December of 2008, newly elected President Obama nominated Napolitano as his
candidate for Homeland Security Secretary.

Napolitano remained governor of Arizona until January 2009, when she became the 3rd Secretary of the
United States Homeland Security (DHS). DHS Offices include the Secret Service, Customs and Border
Protection, FEMA, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), United States Coast Guard, the Domestic
Nuclear Detection Office, and the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center.

Napolitano named her most loyal and closest friends and allies to posts within the Department of Homeland
Security. Many of those individuals then moved from Arizona to Washington, D.C.

When the “Napolitano crew” arrived in D.C., they were known by friends and colleagues as the “Arizona
Mafia,” a joke name that referred to how ruthless and willing they were to do absolutely anything in
support of their boss, Napolitano. Many in D.C. were rightfully terrified to hear that they had engaged
in a dispute or problem with a member of Napolitano’s “Arizona Mafia,” due to the reputation they
developed for ruthlessness.

The top 10 Arizona Mafia members are, in rough order of importance:

1. Janet Napolitano –
The Boss. Chief of the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and a top member of the
Democratic Party. Napolitano was ranked by Forbes Magazine as the world’s eighth most powerful woman in
2013.

Napolitano left DHS after many department scandals. “Napolitano was known in Arizona for her backroom
deals and ruthless targeting of conservatives.”

At the time of Napolitano’s resignation, there was suspicion in the press about why she had resigned.
“Many believe she abruptly left DHS because of some sordid dealings that are about to be discovered.”

 

“Napolitano Leaving DHS Under Cloud of Suspicion” 

While Napolitano ran DHS, aside from other scandals, there was an important federal discrimination suit.
“A federal discrimination suit accused Janet Napolitano of turning the department into a female-run
“frat house” where male staffers were banished to the bathrooms and routinely humiliated.
James Hayes Jr., who now is New York’s top Homeland Security cop, claims Napolitano filled top spots in
Washington, D.C., with two of her gal pals who were bent on tormenting male employees.
The suit identified them as Dora Schriro, who is now running the city Department of Correction, and
Suzanne Barr, the chief of staff for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.”

In 2014, a Senate oversight panel found that Charles Edwards, formerly the Inspector General of Homeland
Security (DHS), “altered and delayed investigations at the request of senior administration officials,
compromising his independent role as an inspector general.”

Edwards “routinely shared drinks and dinner with department leaders and gave them inside information
about the timing and findings of investigations.” The investigation found that “Edwards improperly relied
on the advice of top political advisers to then-Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and
acquiesced to their suggestions about the wording and timing of three separate reports.”

The investigation stated “We found that Mr. Edwards was a compromised inspector general . . . who was not
exercising real oversight,” and “Any report generated out of his office would be suspect.”

Edwards resigned his office three days before he was scheduled to appear at a Senate hearing to answer
questions. The hearing was canceled.

Finally, the current Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, said this about Napolitano: “Sen. Jeff Sessions,
R-Ala. sums up Napolitano’s record at DHS the best, “Secretary Napolitano’s tenure at the Department of
Homeland Security was defined by a consistent disrespect for the rule of law,” he said in a statement.”

THE FOLLOWING ARE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT MEMBERS OF THE ARIZONA MAFIA, JANET’S “FRAT HOUSE”,

2. Dennis Burke
Janet’s right-hand man and ally of many years. Burke was Janet’s top deputy at the Arizona Attorney
General’s office and her Chief of Staff, the top position under her in the Arizona Governor’s office.
He was named as United States Attorney for Arizona on September 16, 2009. Resigned in August of 2011 amid
pressure from the United States Congress in the wake of the gunwalker scandal, also known as Operation
Fast and Furious, within the ranks of the U.S. Justice Department, specifically the FBI. In Operation Fast
and Furious, thousands of weapons were trafficked to Mexican drug cartels, with the Obama administration’s
knowledge. Burke’s resignation was the most senior resignation. President Obama asserted executive
privilege to deny Congress access to records pertaining to Fast and Furious.
Democratic Attorney General Eric Holder was criticized for ‘Fast and Furious’ obstruction.
In 2016 a judge ruled against the executive privilege and that certain documents would be released to
Congress. In March of 2018, the Trump administration announced that Fast and Furious documents previously
Withheld by Eric Holder would be released.

The truth about the Fast and Furious matter is still shrouded in a veil of confusion and secrecy.

3. Noah Kroloff

Was Deputy Chief of Staff under Napolitano. That position may have been his first job as a lawyer.
Kroloff was very young at the time. He was appointed as Chief of Staff, of the entire Department of
Homeland Security, when Napolitano became secretary. Noah is a tough negotiator who is known as
“Napolitano’s bulldog.”

Look out for his fangs – he bites – friends and foes alike. Marco Lopez – now top aide to Carlos Slim and Carlos Salinas in America. He is putting the pressure on to insure Emiliano Salinas is not indicted. If that means surrendering a stupid liquor heiress – so be it.4. Marco Lopez –
Formerly Mayor of Nogales, Arizona. Was called the “youngest Mayor in America” by CNN. Was Director of the Arizona-Mexico Commission, an official Office of the Governor in the State of Arizona (the Governor is the Chairperson of the Arizona Mexico Commission). Lopez then became the Director of the Arizona Department of Commerce. He was appointed as the Chief of Staff of United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP), a federal law enforcement agency with 40,000 employees, when Napolitano became Homeland Security Secretary.

CBP is the largest federal law enforcement agency. In 2011, with the assistance of his friend and and business partner, Jeffrey Peterson, Lopez formed his own consulting business, Intermestic Partners (“Intermestic”). Intermestic’s first client was Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim. Soon thereafter, Marco Lopez became Carlos Slim’s “Senior Advisor” and “Senior Advisor” to Grupo Carso, Carlos Slim’s Mexican global business conglomerate. Lopez also serves as an advisor to Carlos Salinas de Gortari, the former
President of Mexico, and is a close friend of his son, Emiliano Salinas.
