Sheldon Silver, the Democratic powerhouse who ruled Albanyuntil he was convicted on federal corruption charges in a stunning fall from grace, has died. He was 77.
Silver died in prison while serving out a six-and-a-half-year sentence — most recently at a federal medical center in Middlesex, Massachusetts — after he was convicted in 2018 for accepting nearly $4 million in bribes, his former chief of staff Judy Rapfogul confirmed to The Post.

Needs to happen to far more politicians.
Many wonderful things …..
here he is May 2021 on 2 day furlough from prison
...while awaiting the decision he could die at home...which was denied
He abused his power to personally profit to the tune of $4 million
Just another power rich swindler.....NY State has many of these characters and why it’s in the bad shape it’s in....living off Gov. revenue for “states of emergencies” props them up all the time.
Thank you God.

You felt well enough to take that $4 million dollars in bribes. Hope you were in agony right up til the time you drew your last breath. You were a liar, and a hypocrite, but then most Democrats are.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Now do Andrew Cuomo, Kathy Hochul and Kaiser Wilhelm.
Nobody goes into politics to do “wonderful things” for their constituents. It’s about power initially and usually ends with corruption.
“Shelly did many wonderful things for the community and the state...”
And anyone else that slapped his palm. He was overpaid.

So many slime balls, so few electric chairs.
He died of “greed”.
I choose to believe that Trump is an exception.
Shelly did many wonderful things for the community and the state. criminal bastard, Cuomo’s doing, hope Cuomo suffers the same fate
I agree. He gave up much more than he ever received as POTUS.
