New York, New York. Hell of a city. How about hell of a state?
Corruption? Indictment? Marketing campaign finance fraud? Federal probe? Charged with bribery, falsification of data? Arrested by the FBI? By way of officers, are we not the best — or what?
Till yesterday, politician, former developer, former state Sen. Brian Benjamin who simply resigned was trying to be re-elected our lieutenant governor. Neglect it. Higher but, shove it. The man flunked math. His life story ought to start “As soon as upon against the law . . .”
Lawyer Stanley Schlein, accustomed to the gamers, the parolees and perhaps even a cage of the Albany mice, says: “He has to know this has occurred earlier than in authorities. If you happen to’re corrupt, at the very least be clever. To be or to not be a criminal is one factor. However to be silly is unforgivable.”
So what occurs to this man now, title nonetheless on the poll?
“Three choices. All start with ‘D.’ Declination, disqualification or demise. One is disqualify by relocating exterior New York. Like transfer away someplace. He can go for a letter to the Board of Elections for permission to go away the state. They then change him on the poll.”
For certain, state execs aren’t hustling at hand lyin’ Brian one other appointment — like perhaps making him a decide or something. Think about a felon saying to him, “Your Honor No. 4599756B . . .”
That’s the fallout politically — however legally? Que pasa with our alleged sticky finger former lieutenant governor legally? Who is aware of? Possibly dinner with Cuomo.
