The federal Bureau of Prisons is considering releasing disgraced former New York Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver from prison early — a move federal prosecutors strenuously disagree with, a spokesperson said Tuesday.

IOW, THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.................
Crime PAYS. That’s the Democrat way.
Silver has served less than a year of his 6½-year sentence
No mention of party affiliation in the article that I saw.
I wonder why.
ML/NJ
Sheldon Silver is a criminal, should have gotten 15-20 years
I thought with Fed sentences there is no parole. That is why there is no Federal parole board What authority does a director of a Federal prison have to release an inmate before time served? A jailer has no business determining when to release a prisoner. That decision is above his pay grade. This is a judicial sentence.
When Michael was sent to Otisville the MSM reported how easy he would have it in prison. The narrative was Otisville is a county club prison for the well connected.
Obviously a Friend of Sleepy Joe.
They need the cell space for the January 6 Trump Audience being held without bail.
Politicians look after each other.
Lemme guess...he’s dying? It’s funny how so many felon politicians given early release on “compassionate grounds” manage to live for 30 years and become lobbyists in DC...usually for left wing organizations.
Consider the number of American citizens who have been detained (i.e. imprisoned) for being on the Capitol grounds in January. So much for 1) presumption of innocence and 2) right to due process.
We must face the fact the judicial system no longer makes any pretense of delivering “Equal Justice Under Law.” The judicial system is completely politicized and multi tiered in terms of how trials are conducted and “justice” is administered.
If you think voting will change the current situation, how many of the current GOP representatives and Senators in Congress are even talking about an overhaul of the judicial system to return rule of law. Crickets.
He’ll be back in office within 2 years
Heck, he is now qualified to be the Democratic presidential candidate after the Harris....I mean Biden administration leaves office.
Rich, connected democrats with influence are given preferential treatment.
Only in New York.....
Feds historically don’t do this unless presidential order
At this point one must seriously question whether or not the reason he was arrested at all was because he upset someone else within the larger hierarchy of corruption.
I guess this is fine as long as the leniency is applied equally, so Chauvin is out in 2 years.
