any criminal case against Senator Skelos, the majority leader, would throw the Capitol into further tumult. That would be a shame. |

Momma always warned us about the screwing you'll get for the screwing you got.
On a tangent: the government is broke(en) and workers know that if they want to keep theri jobs, they need to turn stones to find hidden treasures.....you WILL be seeing more and more cases of big-fish getting fried. They just nailed a Federal Employee on Post for something very similar to what Skellos & Son did. will have cost him well over 100K by the time it's all said & done.

People pray for Judgement day, and while I'd certainly like to see quite a few moved to the front of the line, I'd like to hang around here just a little while longer. The thought occurred a while back that the reason why the Govt. has been and continues to spend money like drunken sailors is because when it all collapses, they'll have gotten theirs and money will be moot to those left behind...Tell me why, OUR government has build massive underground facilities as have the Chinese, Russians, and every other developed Country? To quote Independence Day "Do you really think toilet seats cost $500.?" can you say "Black budget"? (fwiw: I do see the exorbitance costs for items that should be only a fraction of that charged internally)
It's never too soon to get right, and be right with God....he knows I try even though I'm a miserable failure at it.

It was clear from Skelos passing SAFE that Cuomo had dirt on him. Let's hope Bharara can find enough to indict then convict. It's a shame though that Skelos won't be charged with what he should be, which is violation of 2A.

Preet needs to investigate how Cuomo used taxpayer dollars in his "Start-Up NY" campaign ads that, oddly, ran almost exclusively during his reelection bid last November.

It does not matter. The replacements are already warming up to take their place. Look at the new Assembly leader. He jumped right in to the current modus operandi with both feet and now seems perfectly happy with it. Should Skelos be replaced, his replacement will relish the role of one of the three members of the troika. Preet Bahra could take down the entire legislature as well as the governor and nothing would change.

Some Fear Fallout From Preet Bharara’s Tension With Judges
Preet Bharara, the United States attorney for the Southern District of New York and one of the most acclaimed prosecutors of his generation, is locked in what seems to be an escalating war of words with the federal judiciary — one that some judges fear could influence important rulings.
The tension was on ample display last week in a ruling in the public corruption case against the New York Assemblyman Sheldon Silver. The tone of the opinion left federal prosecutors seething, and the extended criticism of Mr. Bharara stunned even other judges. They fear that the same issues could surface in the related investigation of the leader of the New York State senate, Dean G. Skelos. Mr. Silver’s lawyers moved to dismiss his indictment because Mr. Bharara had orchestrated a “media firestorm” that tainted their client’s right to a fair trial. Such motions are considered long shots, but Judge Valerie Caproni of Federal District Court in Manhattan wrote that Mr. Silver had a legitimate argument that the case should be thrown out because Mr. Bharara, “while castigating politicians in Albany for playing fast and loose with the ethical rules that govern their conduct, strayed so close to the edge of the rules governing his own conduct.” The office of Preet Bharara, the United States attorney in Manhattan, has secured 85 convictions and guilty pleas from traders, analysts, industry consultants. It just lost its first insider case. Judge Caproni ultimately sided with the government, so there’s no way of knowing how close she came to tossing the indictment. But the possibility she even seriously considered such a step has set off alarms among some of her fellow judges. Judge Caproni herself acknowledged that dismissing an indictment is a “drastic remedy” that is “rarely used.” She also noted that the motion was not a disciplinary proceeding against Mr. Bharara. That didn’t stop her from spending a good part of the opinion questioning his ethics and chastising him for his public comments about the case. |

Everything Preet does needs to viewed through a political lens. He was Schumer's lead counsel before going to DOJ. Schumer is a Clinton democrat to his core. Cuomo had 35 mil left over from the governors race, he was a threat to hillary. Preet paid enough attention to Cuomo to prevent a presidential run. Cuomo has already declared his intention to run for a 3rd term...mission accomplished. Preet is done with Cuomo. No more action will be taken unless he steps out of line. The files will be stored and "found" again if he gets froggy.
Getting skelos and silver may just be part of the deal. If Hillary wins...look for Preet to move up maybe even all the way to AG. |
