Cuomo turned nothing over to Bharat voluntarily. It was requested with promise of a public subpoena if withheld. I am in a state of shock that the US Atty for the Southern District would do this to a Democrat like Shelly with Holder still AG. I’ve read the charges and unless Shelly’s lawyers are miracle workers, he’s toast and this will spill over to Andrew because nothing happens at this level in Albany without the Governor knowing about it. It would be for the best to have the US Atty indict the whole legislature and executive. The state would run better with an entirely new cast of characters, at least for a year or so
Many people seem to believe that Cuomo’s refusal to cooperate with Bharat was a sham designed to fool the press. These NY politicians are such schemers that that’s the first thing that a lot of people think.
<><> Silver assisted a former aide for a price----persuaded developers who had business with the state to use a real estate firm run by his former aide. The firm paid him $700,000 in fees.
<><> Silver's made more Than $5.3 Million From his association w/ Weitz & Luxenberg. No word yet WRT how he used his office to profit his law firm ...and himself.
<><>Silver was said to have directed $500,000 in tax dollars to an unnamed doctor, who in return provided asbestos victims to Silver's law firm Weitz & Luxenberg. Silver was paid $1.4 million in salary, and another $3.9 million in referral fees, and purported to work for the firm, but in fact “never performed any legal work whatsoever,” prosecutors allege.
Nice input---thanks. Truly laughable are Andy's presidential ambitions. He has about as much charisma, and presidential presence, as a boiled kale stem. Andy's political vision goes all the way from A-B.

Abortion Worshipper Cuomo has a Master Plan---b/c everybody knows to burnish one's bona fides to get re-elected, you have to feed the snarling "choice" crowds more and more red meat. He upped the W/O/W ante w/ profoundly stupid TV ads calling on voters to vote a third party line to “protect” free-for all late-term abortion...endorsed by his "family" which includes his live-in, Braless Chef Sandra Lee. Andy knows -—the last refuge of a scoundrel-—a woman’s vagina.

10/21 Gov. Cuomo blames a busy day job for new memoir's failure to fly off shelves (Book Flop)
NY Daily News ^ | 10/20/14 | CELESTE KATZ / FR Posted by jimbo123
It's not that Gov. Cuomo's book sales stink, he told reporters Monday -- it's just that his day job keeps him kind of busy when it comes to promoting it. Cuomo's first memoir signing drew fewer than 150 people to the Barnes & Noble in Union Square last Wednesday. His Amazon ratings aren't exactly a blazing constellation of five-star endorsements either. (Excerpt) Read more at nydailynews.com ...
INCONVENIENT FACTOIDS EDITED OUT OF ANDY'S BOOK: Cuomo failed to pass his bar exam FIVE times; he's just another not-so-bright politician looking to shore up his lack of self-esteem on the backs of an electorate he despises.

SCUMMO ALSO FORGET TO INCLUDE THIS IN HIS "LIFE OF THE POLITICALLY INSANE":
Moreland aftermath--Cuomo's Criminal Defense (lawyering up w/ campaign funds)
Gov Cuomo hired a high-priced criminal lawyer to represent his entire office WRT possible witness tampering--paid out of his $35 million campaign fund, because “the governor doesn’t want to have taxpayers pay for this." Cuomo's accused of shutting-down the Moreland Commission because corruption investigations were getting too close to him and his friends.....
Over the years, New York pols paid out more than $7 million in campaign funds to stay out of the pokey.....
Cuomo puts himself in the company of such convicts as former Sens. Carl Kruger and Pedro Espada, sleazy former Assemblyman Vito Lopez and Sen. Malcolm Smith, whose trial is pending.
Four years ago, then-candidate Cuomo pointed to criminal pols in his pledge to clean up Albany. Today, he’s using the very same tactics to defend himself.
So good to know it’s all for the taxpayer! (NY POST)
QUESTION FOR ANDY When you headed HUD, is it true $18 million went missing...into your bank account?
