United States Attorney Preet Bharara feels emboldened, sources say, following the conviction of former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver — on all of seven corruption charges. Despite lacking a “smoking gun” to constitute an explicit quid pro quo, the jury handed Bharara a sweeping win. Such is the public’s appetite for corrupt politicians, observers say.

What can you say? The politicians in NY are corrupt through and through, but the NY sheeple persist in electing these criminals.

Can’t say I blame the NY pols for raping their idiotic, disconnected constituents.

He is an American Indian and a Democrat.....O o Good for him that he does not play party politics. What is wrong is wrong and what is right is right. He will have a bright future.

I can’t think of a better way to say ‘Merry Christmas’ to that smug, gun-grabbing punk in Albany.

Though I hope (and pray) that this is in fact the case, I was unable to find any independent confirmation.

As long as it was honest, he'll be alright ...

Interesting comments at the newspaper web site. Lots of people saying, please come to (my home town) and clean up the crooks there.

Let Bharara go after the NY pols for a while, and then punish him by transferring him to Chicago.

In that case, Cuomo is a friggin' Golden Corral.
