i HATED Silver, but who did he cross to be taken down like this?
i dont believe for a second that this was the desire for justice.
They didn’t come more powerful in NY, and I just dont see it.

They had the misfortune of encountering the dogged Indian-American prosecutor — Preet Bharara. This man’s main ambition is to be known and to go down in NY history as the man who took down the big guys — both in finance and in politics.
You can rest assured that he has his eye on the big one — Andrew Cuomo.
There were so many corrupt Republicans being indicted that they had to even it out a little bit. A year ago Jonah Goldberg did an op-ed about the double standard in indicting corrupt politicians in Albany and shortly thereafter the Dems started going down.
Also, Shelly is hated by many in his own party because he challenged the petition signatures of people in his own party who were running against him in the primaries. He did what Obama did in Chicago—just pushed out any opposition, no matter how far-fetched their chance of winning.
