I am sure he will just get a slap on the wrist.

I am sure he will just get a slap on the wrist.

the embarrassment and shame associated with his fall from grace is punishment enough..........looks like someone is finally going after these crooked politicians, he's not the first to go down in the recent past.

You can't possibly be serious?

[Lawdwaz]

I think I'll have a Manhattan tonight to celebrate.

for these egomaniacs, and from their point of view? absolutely.........that's probably worse for them than the prison time they probably will never serve.

Call me old fashion but I don't care about their feelings. I'd prefer to see their view obstructed by bars

 

I realize it is unlikely but that is just another result of our broken system.

Nails their asses to the wall!

I just hope he decides to talk to save his own skin and a takes whole lot of other crooks down with him.

 

I hope he rats on Cuomo so bad, they arrest that crook as well.

Cuomo admitted guilt when he disbanded the commission.

I wonder if this is why the King shut down the Moreland Commission…….LOL!!!!!

[Doc]

That's "millions of dollars in bribes and kickbacks". I guess if you're going to be a crook ..... do it right. I have a feeling that he may get quite a bit more than just a slap on the wrist. His influence is gone, and he has the Feds after him. They don't usually leave any loopholes in their cases. Here's hoping anyways.

Unfortunately, the punk down the road that stole my chainsaw probably served more time behind bars than this guy will.

Well after reading the complaint , I think old Silver is going to need to sequel like a pig to get out of this.Also I hope they have revoked his pistol permit, and enforced the NY Safe Act and taken all of his firearms.

The charges are serious and I doubt a slap on the wrist will be the result.  The US Atty will make an example of him, IMHO.  He is not the only NY legislator with these types of arrangements, including both Democrats and Republicans.  The fall out will be interesting.  I guarantee many others are squirming right now.

Darn auto correct, I have never been a good speller. Whats even worse is my texting because of the auto correct on the Iphone .

[growalot]

Hey ANDY,

 

You can run...........But you can't hide........hahahahahaha

[grampy]

I'm sure there are more than a couple nervous people in the state capitol at this time.

[NeverSeenNorHeard]

I hope that place gets cleaned out!

[ants]

I just hope he rolls on the little king or at least a few other dirty players.

[Culvercreek hunt club]

where is that news paper when you really wanna see if someone has a pistol permit...lol. I would do cartwheels if he had one and he got his guns confiscated.

[nyantler]

I am sure he will just get a slap on the wrist.

 

Not this time.. the Feds don't arrest people unless there is going to be hell to pay... not to mention they said to "Stay tuned".. meaning this is only the tip of the iceberg... he's gonna turn over and others are gonna go down as well... you watch.

I'm not sure of this so correct me if I'm wrong. But wasn't Silver one of the people involved in the back room, middle of the night passing of the Safe Act?
