One of the most corrupt politicians in the history of New York State. And that's really saying something.

The best part is that the governor just straight up cancelled his anti-corruption investigation when he found out it would snag his boi Shelly. The US Attorneys are going to have a field day with this guy.

Imagine the circumstances that forced Silver into this plight. Hopefully we have empathy and reform this stricken individual.

Everyone knew this guy has been a bad character for years now. What the hell took so long?

Not everyone thinks he's a crook. Mayor deBlasio says he's "a man of integrity."

That's rich.

IMO most pols are corrupt. Some are not too greedy and fly under the radar.

Remember when Chris christie's brother was under investigation and most of his firm got indicted but he dodged trouble because Chris Christie pulled some strings for him?
