OY Vey! Ex-NY Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver found guilty on all counts in corruption retrial

Ex-Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver was found guilty (again) on all seven counts in his corruption retrial Friday.
Silver was accused of collecting back-door attorney fees in exchange for favors from Albany.
"Today justice was served on behalf of taxpayers. But this latest conviction must also be met with action in Albany. If we are going to protect our democracy and restore the trust of New Yorkers, we must fight for good government in Albany, not just the courts," former federal prosecutor, Senator Todd Kaminsky, said of the guilty verdict.
A prosecutor cited a "mountain of evidence" against New York's former assembly speaker and called for the guilty verdict Thursday while a defense attorney said his client committed no crime.
The lawyers made their closing arguments in Sheldon Silver's second trial, and jurors deliberated less than an hour over his mail fraud, wire fraud and extortion charges.
The 74-year-old once-powerful Democrat did not testify in a trial that was surprisingly fast, with 26 witnesses and a slew of exhibits dispensed in less than two weeks - twice as fast as expected.
Still, Assistant U.S. Attorney Tatiana Martins said the jury could rely on a "mountain of evidence in this case" that Silver earned $5 million illegally to reach the same conclusion as a jury in 2015. Guilty.
Defense attorney Michael Feldberg disagreed.
The 2015 verdict and the 12-year prison sentence that followed were tossed out last year when the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals concluded that a June 2016 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that narrowed the definition of a corrupt act meant the jury at Silver's first trial was not properly instructed on the law.
After the lawyers finished their arguments Thursday, U.S. District Judge Valerie E. Caproni read to jurors the law they must follow in their deliberations.

Stefan Halper was the mole. Don't need an EO when it's been outed in print.

Many of us thought Alex did more harm to Potus then he did good. Trust me, Alex made President Trump sound like a nut case half the time. Can't tell you how many people would bring up Alex Jones in order to justify NOT voting for Potus.
So you are either Alex or someone working for him.
This is amazing
Hey Clueless…get off the boards.
Why are these sisters not in handcuffs. I thought Mack was rating out the group. If so, she must have rated out the Bonfman sisters.
No Q didn't. Now leave the room … stand in a corner … and come back when you learn reading comprehension. You must be a common core victim and we sympathize. Suggest you find a good tutor
Well we have victims that could testify if I recall correctly. A family in Mexico and the two schools that shut down their rainbow program. I believe their are two doctors also being arraigned in connection to the training and branding.
