Flip-flopping Albany DA David Soares was blasted for "a second cover-up".....Soares' Sept. 21 first report falsely found then-Gov Eliot Spitzer wasn't part of the plot to use the State Police against Republican Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno, and that Soares may have sought Spitzer's removal from office if the disgraced ex-governor hadn't resigned March 12 in the wake of a high-priced-hooker scandal. One of the most glaring omissions in Soares' latest report is an explanation of why his first report - which came in the wake of The Post's exposé and a confirming report from Attorney General Andrew Cuomo - was so spectacularly wrong. A top Democrat close to the scandal said, "Either Soares was repeatedly lied to when he prepared the first report, was covering up the scandal when he did, or he is incompetent." Another Democrat called Soares a "boob who was conned by Eliot (Spitzer)," adding his latest report is part of "a second cover-up." Soares, who refused to discuss the report publicly, concluded Spitzer repeatedly lied about his aggressive involvement in the scandal....and that former top Spitzer aide Darren Dopp - granted immunity in exchange for detailed testimony - may have committed two criminal acts, and that former Spitzer chief counsel David Nocenti, may have committed a crime as well by notarizing a false statement.

When it comes to Eliot Spitzer's scandalous Dirty Tricks, Soares is backpedaling like a drunken bicycle racer headed for the finish line. Soares was complicit in covering up the affair. Soares manipulated the incident from the getgo---he recently demanded a waiver from Doobie Dave the governor to use Spitzer administration documents so Soares can "fully air the relevant information uncovered during our investigation." But it was only six months ago, Soares was practically nominating Robespierre Spitzer for sainthood - with his report that all but absolved the ex-governor (and his henchmen, too) from significant wrongdoing in that sordid Dirty Tricks affair.
Whore-fixated Spitzer was forced out in disgrace, his credibility lower than a snake in the grass. The true story of Spitzer's Dirty Tricks emerges despite Soares' efforts to cover it up. Contrary to DA Soares' lying assertions, Spitzer was indeed a chief motivating force which sought to use the State Police to gather information. Soares is another cog in Spitzer's Reign of Terror machine.
Truly Clintonian! Take the moral high road while slithering in the gutter, abusing power, and generally being - there is only one word for it Clintonian.
FR bookmark , .. .. and thanks Liz
{ btw ,.. Albany , and some of the towns around there , like Latham , appear to have a hard time shaking the “bootlegger” ways and manners }
He’s lived in the US since he was 6. Maybe you can indict his behavior in office without bringing bigotry quite so strongly into your post.
This clown needs to resign as well or be forced from office,now!When will the dominoes stop falling? He got a pay-off, pure and simple.Money,jobs for his whole family,who knows?Disgraceful; and all because a bank employee did the right thing and reported Spitzer’s funny business.
A Democrat called him a boob, and he most certainly qualifies as using a Third World mentality. Are you defending him? Or are you defending Spitzer?
That’s really funny. (Well, maybe really pathetic, but still funny.)
I’m not defending either one of them, I’m objecting to bigotry.
Reminds me of the Stooges’ law firm of Dewey, Cheatum and Howe.

What bigotry?
"Somewhere down the line if we have no other way out that is something any defense attorney would have to consider," he said yesterday.
Sounds like you might want to complain to the Democrat that called him the boob.
Yeah---a bunch of shady bootleggers---that about sums it up.
Calling someone a “boob” is not bigotry. If I assert, for example, that you are a boob, that is not bigotry. If I assert that you are an inbred mountain cretin like most of those hillbillies, then that would be bigotry. Do you see the difference? Taking someone’s ethnic heritage, abstracting a negative quality from it based on stereotype or caricature, and then applying it as a blanket condemnation of anyone who might be so unfortunate as to share that person’s heritage, is bigotry.
I’m trying to figure out where your coming from here, what bigotry? Who’s lived here since 6 years old?
Soares' law school dean.
Nice deconstruction.....deserves a repeat.
