Oh lordy please!

I know innocent until proven guilty, let justice work its way thru the courts and all, but he is a fucking crook, and has been bent since, I dunno, about since 1975.



This could not have happened to a nicer guy. I hope Preet squeezes his balls until he tweets.



What a smelly unwashed cunt this guy is.

This is a warning to the little fish that it's time to turn on Andy.  Bharara didn't have what he needed before. He will soon.   Silver wouldn't flip on Andy but others will now.

This is an amazing piece of news! Sheldy, I hope you rot in jail for the rest of your miserable life! Andy, you are next! Might as well resign now, you piece of shit!

Preet is the man! I seriously consider calling his office to express my gratitude.

Ya know,  when people were asking what I wanted for Christmas I would tell them nothing, if friends and family were happy and healthy, that's all I want.  Is it too late to change my mind. ? I REALLY want this guy to become someone's bitch, other then Andy's. Then strip him of every dime he has made in office and donate it to NYSRPA.

No, Andy is Silver's bitch.  King Shelly controls the Assembly, so nothing gets done without his blessing.

I'll believe it when he's cuffed and stuffed.  He'll likely get the standard "resign and it all goes away" deal.

It's a good start!



One could randomly arrest 99% of the legislature and be pretty accurate in nailing the corrupt slimeballs.



Now how about some federal investigations into judicial graft?

The Feds arrested him, they don't do that to manipulate state-level politics, they do it to put someone in prison.

Maybe they'll let him plea down or out, but Shelly will probably have to pay- that is, roll over, shovel dirt, blow in his contemporaries.

For those talking about Silver not rolling on Cuomo, remember that Silver only has loyalty to himself.

This is way bigger than the original article implied. This wasn't just underreporting his income. He took $6 million in bribes!



"Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver pocketed more than $6 million in bribes
and kickbacks by using his power in Albany to pressure real estate
developers with business before the state to hire two law firms that
paid him regularly to exert influence, according to a five-count federal
indictment made public Thursday."

Of course, absolutely zero chance a certain carpetbagging bitch and cigar enthusiast pulled strings at the DOJ to cause trouble for their most serious NY primary opponent.

Did not see that movie, but I picture the scene from Goodfellas (?) where he's making spaghetti sauce with garlic so thin it melts.

Arrested for graft and corruption to the tune of millions in bribes, kickbacks and other sources of illegitimate money.
