According to a story just posted in the Buffalo Chronicle, governor Cuomo (NY-Dem) is set to get indicted by Bharara on Jan. 2nd for corruption and racketeering. To quote the article:
United States Attorney Preet Bharara feels emboldened, sources say, following the conviction of former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver — on all of seven corruption charges. Despite lacking a “smoking gun” to constitute an explicit quid pro quo, the jury handed Bharara a sweeping win. Such is the public’s appetite for corrupt politicians, observers say.
Three sources are confirming that Bharara intends to indict Governor Andrew Cuomo on January 2nd — along with a half dozen associates and former staffers — on public corruption, racketeering, conspiracy, and honest services fraud.
Looks like de Blasio should have held out for a better deal on the subway -- maybe we’d actually be getting phase II of the 2nd ave subway had he held out for a few more months.
Here is a second article from the NY Post on this a few months ago. It appears their predictions may be about to come true.
