New York Pol charged with corruption case - name that party.
[Rooters] - New York Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver was charged on Thursday with five criminal counts stemming from a lengthy corruption investigation, U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said.
The political powerbroker, in the Assembly since 1977 and its most influential Democrat as speaker since 1994, was accused of fraud, conspiracy to commit fraud and other charges in using his "power and influence" to obtain "millions" in bribes and kickbacks, the criminal complaint said.
The law firms of Weitz & Luxenberg and Goldberg & Iryami joined NY State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman in saying 'there's nothing to be found here.'
In 2005, ten fokken long years ago, Irish commentator Bill O'Reilly of the Fox News Channel lambasted Silver for blocking legislation that would mandate restrictions on democrats child molesters after their sentences are finished (including possibly forcing them to become permanent residents in psychiatric wards).
