Emboldened by Silver conviction, Bharara to indict Cuomo Jan 2nd
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.
Not being from NY, I'm not sure if this is just a source pushing for more action or is something that could be true.
but more pols in jail is a good thing, let hope he can get a win streak going.
