An array of figures from Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s inner circle—including a confidante so close the governor called him “my father’s third son”—got slapped with a sweeping 14-count federal indictment today, which alleges they colluded in a pair of schemes to solicit bribes for state assistance and to rig economic development contracts for companies that gave to Cuomo’s campaigns.

I can’t believe that such an honest guy like Andy Cuomo is surrounded by so many crooks. </s>

I long for the day when Little Andy is put behind bars.

What's the problem? Just helping out their boss, and doing what he always does.

I’m in finance, a group the dems know vote 83% conservative.

You should see the rules we have to play by!

All the stuff Hillary has done, I’d have been fired/disbarred from finance 100 times over.

Meanwhile, i was allowed to donate unlimited amounts to hitlery during the campaign, but only $350 to trump/pence.

It’s all in the Sec Pay to Play rules.

I’m sorry, but we are going to have to start hanging thieves.

There are too many of them and they aren’t afraid of jail.

You are righter than you know. There is all kinds of skull-duggery going on in the background now. Pray for Trump’s safety. And for the Republic’s.
