Mmmmmm........lookit that custom-made suit and shirt he's wearing. Where did this dedicated Democrat get the money for that? Authorities might ask whether Sen Malcolm Smith (D-Queens) fraudulently used tax-exempt bond revenue allocated to the Minority Leader's office. Authorities need to determine the extent of tax-exempt bond revenue used for illegal activities involving the Democrat Party. Tax-exempt investors may have been misled and the IRS may have also been deceived. (Stolen money is taxable.) Government computers and equipment (printers, faxes, email, and other electronic devices) may have been used in government fraud and to enrich the Democrat Party. Tax-exempt investors need to know whether tax-exempt bond revenue was used to underwrite fraudulent activities. Sen Malcolm Smith may have engaged in a conspiracy with Jeff Klein (D-Bronx), in government fraud, illegal conversions of tax-exempt bond revenue, and money laundering, to subsidize illegal activities involving the Democrat Party.

BACKSTORY Senate Minority Leader Malcolm Smith (D-Queens) allegedly said he would send Sen Jeff Klein (D-Bronx) as an "enforcer" against lobbyists who didn’t donate to Democrats. Smith, the married father of two fathered an out-of-wedlock child with a woman other than his wife three years ago. Smith told lobbyists their clients would be shut out of a Democrat-controlled Senate in January if they didn't pony up large contributions now. A longtime lobbyist said, "It was a shocking set of remarks and people were looking around the room in disbelief......far more blatant a threat than anything we're used to hearing from many of the leaders." Smith also made "an inappropriate" sexual innuendo at the Senate Democratic golf outing held at the Wiltwyck Golf Club, attended by about 75 lobbyists who paid up to $75,000 each.

A longtime lobbyist said, "It was a shocking set of remarks and people were looking around the room in disbelief......far more blatant a threat than anything we're used to hearing from many of the leaders."

In other words, other politicians understand that the opposing party gets to shake down the lobbyists too.

Hang him until death... on the steps to the Capital. These goons and racists have NO PLACE IN AMERICA!

Smith refused to discuss his remarks, but late yesterday, he issued a statement claiming his remarks were meant to "entertain" the lobbyists who attended the event.

Liar.

[Popman]

He's a "D" and black.

There is no possible way a crime was committed. It was a simple misunderstanding

Geesh, get with the program

Only "R" and white representatives commit crimes even when they aren't crimes, "it's the seriousness of the charge"

Hmm. I’ll have to look at this article in a little bit. At first (from the headline) I thought it was about the Democrat who said he’d harass those who’d contributed to the GOP which is also illegal intimidation of voters.

This appears to be another “by any means necessary” election just as the UndemocratIC Party has run for the past umpteen election cycles.

"We were, on the day in question, at a golf outing [and] rain forced us indoors," said Smith. "And, like any good host, it was important to entertain all guests. That is simply what occurred. And nothing else."

Par for the course when it concerns 'rats. We need an eagle, republicans to stand up to this bogeyman.

"...people were looking around the room in disbelief......far more blatant a threat than anything we're used to hearing from many of the leaders."

The threats they are used to hearing are the implied kind...
