SOLUTIONS: FINALLY!!! Some Justice Being Meted Out - NY Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver's arrest sends chills through state Capitol - More under investigation - Part 3

Vatic Note:   The Solution on this one is to prosecute those of wrong doing and make it clear,  "There will be no more free rides". Unless, we do that, I truly believe this will never end and if we are globalized, you can take it to the bank, we will never see the elite doing time for their crimes since they will never be investigated.

This below is very good news coming out of a very dark black time in our justice system history, ever since we turned it over to the Dept of Homeland Security.  Since then, the only people suffering have been those who have done no wrong.  Like little children being fondled by pedophilias working for the TSA under DHS.

It also means something when the ADL and the SPLC are running the show, given all of the sexual abuses resulting in arrests of the Zionist community for doing so.  No wonder their children become psychopathic adults.

While it’s unclear just who might be Bharara’s next scalp, it’s clear his warning of more was designed to send a strong message to legislators.

ALBANY — U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara’s warning to “stay tuned” for more corruption arrests after he bagged Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver has sent a big chill through the state Capitol.

“I think everyone is waiting for the next shoe to drop,” said one legislative official.

Added former Assemblyman Richard Brodsky, a Westchester Democrat: “When a prosecutor says stay tuned, I think he means it.”

The big fish reportedly being looked at is Gov. Cuomo.
Bharara has been probing whether the governor and his top aides improperly interfered with the Moreland anti-corruption commission Cuomo established.

He is also probing the circumstances behind Cuomo’s decision to abruptly end the commission after the Legislature agreed to some ethics reforms.
Bharara took control of the commission’s files and promised to follow up on any unresolved leads.
 
According to media reports, those being targeted by the Moreland Commission or Bharara include:

Sen. Martin Golden (R-Brooklyn), who has confirmed he is being looked at by Bharara’s office. He could not be reached for comment Friday.

Former Sen. George Maziarz (R-Erie County), who Buffalo media reports said, is being probed by for the potential misuse of campaign funds.

While it’s unclear just who might be Bharara’s next scalp, it’s clear his warning of more to come was designed to send a strong message to legislators.
“He has made clear that he has a continuing interest in corruption at all levels of government, but particularly at the state level,” said Daniel Richman, a former federal prosecutor.

The Silver case “is obviously a piece of a larger investigation.”

Richman said Bharara’s warning also serves a more practical purpose for the U.S. attorney’s office. After seeing a top leader like Silver arrested, those under investigation might be quicker to come in and cooperate, he said.

“It very much serves the government’s interest to get people running in to them sooner rather than later,” he said.

Meanwhile, state lawmakers begin another legislative session with a cloud hanging over their heads.

“I’ve always believed that something is going to happen because they’ve been working, they’ve been looking,” said veteran Assemblyman Herman (Denny) Farrell (D-Manhattan). “I don’t spit on the sidewalk anywhere.”



The Brooklyn Democrat confirmed he is being examined by the U.S. attorney.

On Thursday, Bharara, when announcing Silver’s arrest, said the charges “in our view go to the very core of what ails Albany: lack of transparency, lack of accountability and lack of principle — joined with overabundance of greed, cronyism and self-dealing. But we will keep at it.”

“As our unfinished fight against public corruption continues, you should stay tuned.”

But when pressed for more details, Bharara demurred.
“We have a number of public corruption investigations going on,” he said. “I’m not going to tell you which people we’re looking at.”

Veteran Assemblyman Peter Abbate (D-Brooklyn) says Bharara’s cryptic comments can unfairly taint all the lawmakers since the public does not know who is under investigation and who isn’t.

“Stay tuned. There’s more people out there,” Abbate said.  But others say it also serves as a warning to follow the rules in a culture that for decades went virtually unchecked.

Brodsky, who remains close with many of his former colleagues, says the spate of arrests takes its toll on the majority of lawmakers, who are honest.
“The great majority of people here do their work seriously and honestly,” he said. “The feeling among the rank and file is if there are people who aren’t doing that, the sooner they’re gone the better."
