Malcolm Smith And Dan Halloran Arrested For Trying To Rig NYC Mayoral Election, According To Report

QUEENS — Prominent Queens politicians Malcolm Smith and Dan Halloran were arrested early Tuesday for attempting to manipulate this year's mayoral election, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

At the conclusion of an extensive undercover corruption investigation, four others were arrested along with the Queens pair, including two Republican party officials and the mayor of Spring Valley, N.Y., the Department of Justice said.

“Public service is not supposed to be a shortcut to self-enrichment," FBI Assistant Director George Venizelos said in a statement. "At the very least, public officials should obey the law. As alleged, these defendants did not obey the law; they broke the law and the public trust. There is a price to pay for that kind of betrayal.”

The pair allegedly formed an alliance to place Smith, a Democrat who represents Queens Village, St. Albans and Jamaica, onto the Republican mayoral ballot by enlisting the support of major GOP leaders through bribes, according to the Post and officials.

shakes head.
Perhaps these democrats have been so emboldened that they just can't help themselves.

Good to know the pay rate for Democrats, only 20K each.

And now we get another Democrat into the mix... in a separate incident...

Eric Stevenson, Bronx Democratic Assemblyman, arrested for taking $20,000 in bribes after fellow lawmaker Nelson Castro gives him up .

Stevenson is accused of taking cash to benefit businessmen interested in developing adult day care center. His arrest follows the takedown of state Sen. Malcolm Smith and Councilman Dan Halloran in an unrelated bust.

I think the count is (R) = 1/(D) = 2... go Democrats.

Once again, it just proves that they are all crooked. Does anyone really think "their" side is better than the other guys? We should make abusing the public trust a new category of crime-automatic 5 year sentence, seizing of assets and ban them from running for any office in the future.

Just stated roughly the same thing in another thread. Pretty sick of the back and forth, but more so from the left. They're ALL a bunch of corrupt jack wagons.

i am reminded of this commercial reading this thread.
