I think it is tip of the iceberg...they will likely find he has done a lot
more that he shouldn't have, all at the expense of the taxpayers of NY.

Nothing to see....Move along.

Just another BS investigation that will lead to nowhere and cost millions.

Looks like Sheldon Silver is on his way out.

The timing is interesting - just a day after the State of the State message.  Speaker Silver was thought to be the major obstacle to some of the action items on Governor Cuomo's agenda for 2015.  Now, it seems a major obstacle may be out of the way.

I see it as a major Cuomo fcuk up. Remember, he killed the Moreland Commission abruptly and with no notice when it was found out that senior Dems may be involved. What the feds have done is picked up where they left off. Would be awesome if there was links to Cuomo.

I think Silver will be dumped or urged to resign as Assembly Speaker.  It would be in the best interests of the state and the party for Silver to step aside.

Quoted Text
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver mastered “the greedy art of secret self-reward” while lining his pockets with ​nearly ​$4 million in kickbacks and bribes, prosecutors said Thursday, after arresting the powerful Democrat.

Federal authorities also seized $3.8 million from Silver, freezing eight of his bank accounts at six different banks, authorities said.

“The greedy art of secret self-reward was practiced ​with particular cleverness and cynicism by the speaker himself,” Manhattan US Attorney Preet Bharara said of Silver.

The longtime Assembly speaker was hit with a five-count​ criminal​ complaint​ brought by Bharara​, which claims that his corruption dates back to 2000.

The prosecutor said Silver treated the Speaker’s office as his personal piggy bank: “He simply sat back and collected millions of dollars by cashing in on his political office.”
