... on federal corruption charges.  News says Cuomo was never accused in any wrong doing.  Think these gangsters are of the old school where they won't rat on each other?

Keep digging and someone will flip on him!  How can all his cronies be charged and indicted but not him yet?
Give it time... I pray!

Within every indicted charge for Percoco, makes note of "while serving in the office of the Governor" or "a senior official in the office.."

Well, the other big leverage against Percoco is they made it sound like they have enough dirt to lock his wife up for just as long as him... and that so far hasn't been put in motion.  I wouldn't be surprised to see the screws put to her shortly.  From what I've read they extended the time limit for handing up the charges a couple times, in hopes someone would flip...

Cuomo is running out of associates.


Imagine his shock!   Everyone he knows is going to prison!  OMG!   How can such a just, honest man be surrounded by criminals!

The complaint said CPV paid Percoco’s wife, Lisa Toscano-Percoco, $7,500 as a curriculum consultant in exchange for official favors from Percoco. Toscano-Percoco was not charged in the complaint, though several lawyers familiar with the case believed there was sufficient evidence about her role in the scheme for a charge to be filed, a point which they believed prosecutors would use as leverage over Percoco.

“This case will come down to Joe’s choice between the governor and his wife,” one of the lawyers said.

So yeah, there's that.  Interestingly Percoco has kept his job at MSG, which is largely believed to be so he doesn't crack under financial pressure from these charges.  I think if you see charges come through for his wife and both of them are up for going to the pokey, he might just roll.  Then again, why has she not been charged already?  Is there such a thing as cooperating (to not charge his wife) and still taking your chances at trial?  Is Preet going to give us the biggest christmas present of all? Dun dun dunnnnnn.
