| Sheldon Silver had 2 extramarital affairs, documents say |
| 2016-04-16 |
| [NEWSDAY] Former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver had extramarital relationships with two women, one who lobbied him for clients with state business and the other whom he helped get a state job, prosecutors alleged in documents released Friday in federal court. The lobbyist lobbied Silver "on a regular basis," the government claimed in a motion filed before Silver’s trial last year, and the other woman was recommended for a job "over which he exercised a particularly high level of control." The names of the two women were redacted, but prosecutors said they had a recording of a conversation between Silver and the female lobbyist in which they discussed "both State and private business" and spoke "quietly and in whispers" about how to hide their relationship from news hounds. |

| #7 Wouldn't it be more effective to take cash and hire pros? Like setting up a foundation which could divvy out donations, then client could travel to a private island for services? |
