Cuomo trashes a Trump pardon of crooked ex-Assembly boss Sheldon Silver
New York Post ^ | January 19, 2021 | Bernadette Hogan and Bruce Golding

Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday attacked President Trump over a potential pardon of Sheldon Silver, the corrupt former speaker of the New York Assembly — and suggested it could be “a favor for someone in the Jewish community.”

During a radio interview in Albany, Cuomo called the notion of freeing Silver from prison — where the Manhattan Democrat is serving 6 1/2 years for a $4 million bribery and kickbacks scheme — “just confounding” and the culmination of “four years of bizarre.”

“It’s almost as if he’s trying to purposefully create anarchy and desecrate the entire system on the way out the door…he’s making a mockery of everything,” Cuomo said of Trump granting Silver a pardon.

I'm not sure why anyone would want to pardon this uber-corrupt Democrat.

I’m not in favor of a pardon, but there’s one saving grace of this pardon, if granted. Silver has never and will never put anyone in a wheelchair or in the ground.

Exactly, though Trump may know him from way back. I sure as H-E-double hockey sticks wouldn’t do it.

I notice Cuomo the Homo makes it a Jewish issue and no one says a word.

A Jewish Democratic from New York. And an elected higher up in New York politics. Sounds like a person who helped to get real estate matters accomplished for the movers and shakers of New York. Did DJT have anything to do with New York?

Maybe Silver is trading some dirt on Cuomo for the pardon. We can hope.
