Cuomo rattled by Silver corruption case (billions in state housing grants are undisclosed)
NYPOST.COM ^ | 2/9/15 | Fredric U. Dicker

Posted on 02/09/2015 5:09:24 AM PST by Liz

Gov Cuomo is described as “obsessed with fear’’ in the wake of corruption charges against ousted Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver..... already known for a confrontational style, some say Cuomo is suffering from “Post-Silver Stress Disorder” ......

Known as a bully, “Cuomo appears to be engaged in a sort of overcorrection," a prominent Big Apple Democrat said. “Cuomo’s a typical control freak. Once things start to go awry and he loses control, he panics, overreacts and makes mistakes."

One report confirmed what has long been recognized — that Cuomo’s Empire State Development Corp.---a govt agency---offers few details to the public to justify its billions of dollars in grants.....(such as where they're going?)

If he wants damage control, he should repeal NY-SAFE and allow the governing gun control legislation to be the US Constitution, like it is supposed to be.
Otherwise, he’s just a petty regional dictator who rules, not governs, by executive decree.

New Yorkers are so savvy, they tell us. Then they trust Democrat hacks to divvy up boat-loads of cash without an independent audit of the books. Yeah. We peasants in fly-over country are really impressed.

Fred Dicker is one of the few reporters that challenges Cuomo and his BS! Why did “Prince Andrew” shutdown the Moreland Commission? I’m guessing they were getting too close to his malfeasance! I hope the tyrant gets nailed, just like Silver!

Cuomo’s Empire State Development Corp.---a govt agency---offers few details to the public to justify its billions of dollars in grants.....(such as where they're going?)

STEALTH HOUSING GRANTS NOT A COINCIDENCE Cuomo is Bill Clinton's appointee to head HUD---a federal agency known for rank corruption.

In 2008, the Village Voice published a compelling report detailing Andrew Cuomo's policy decisions "that gave birth to the country's then-financial crisis"...which burdened struggling Americans w/ billions in bailouts.

The VV report touched on how Cuomo's 187-page rules "opened the door to abuse." The rules explicitly rejected the idea of imposing any new reporting requirements on the GSEs. In other words, HUD wanted Fannie and Freddie to buy risky loans, but the department didn't want to hear just how risky they were.

Then-candidate Cuomo got lucky----voters failed to see the actual harm to the minority community directly caused by Cuomo's policies.

Cuomo's top aide said, "We believe that there are a lot of loans to black Americans that could be safely purchased by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac if these companies were more flexible."

NOT TO MENTION MASSIVE BAILOUTS W/ OUR TAX DOLLARS Andrew Cuomo doubled down and had this to say about his HUD standards, "GSE presence in the subprime market could be of significant benefit to lower-income families, minorities, and families living in underserved areas."

How's that working out for the minority community, where foreclosures and unemployment rates have hit the hardest as a result of such failed policies and blatant social engineering?

I said the same thing back when they elected Hilary to the Senate. I thought none of the supposed ‘backward states’ in the Midwest would’ve been taken in by her schemes to use them as a presidential launching pad,

Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell was federally prosecuted, tried, convicted and sentenced to 2 years in prison for accepting, at most, a couple of hundred thousand dollars in gifts and perks from a private donor. I do not consider his punishment to be unjust, either. If you use your public office for personal gain you should pay the price.

New York Governor Cuomo is up to his armpits in the theft of billions of dollars from the taxpayers of New York (and, no doubt, the United States).

Assuming someone does the right thing and Cuomo is federally charged, prosecuted, tried and convicted, the “McDonnell Scale” calls for a prison sentence of about 20,000 years.

Cuomo has the same demonic evil in his eyes, that same unclean spirit that the one in the white house has. He just doesn’t do as good of job of hiding it behind a grin or a smile,

Cuomo's auto/bio does a Hillary---sinks to the bottom of the booklists.

INCONVENIENT FACTOIDS EDITED OUT OF ANDY'S MEMOIRS: Cuomo failed to pass his bar exam FIVE times; he's just another not-so-bright politician looking to shore up his lack of self-esteem on the backs of an electorate he despises.

=================================================

ANDY'S VAGINA FIXATION IS NEVER SATED It's a "lifestyle" thing---the thought of "anything" coming between his access to a vagina----and his constant pathetic quest for genital pleasure----requires new ways to get it on.

Gov Andy hires only practiced genital-sniffers for state govt jobs. Big Pharma's putting out a nasal spray for the hazards of genital-sniffing the habit---sexually transmitted diseases of the nasal passages.

================================================

Abortion Worshipper Cuomo has a Master Plan---everybody knows in politics, to burnish one's bona fides in order to get higher office, you have to feed the snarling "choice" crowds more and more red meat.

Cuomo will demand medical reports and checkoffs for newborns w/ diseases----toddlers who have bow legs, 3-4 year olds who won't put away their toys, the ones who won't toilet-train. Next Cuomo will troll kindergartens for kids who don't color within the lines---all of them marked for post-birth abortions.

Moreland shutdown aftermath--Cuomo's Criminal Defense (lawyering up w/ campaign funds)

Gov Cuomo hired a high-priced criminal lawyer to represent his entire office WRT possible witness tampering--paid out of his $35 million campaign fund, because “the governor doesn’t want to have taxpayers pay for this."

Cuomo's accused of shutting-down the Moreland Commission because corruption investigations were getting too close to him and his friends.....

Over the years, New York pols paid out more than $7 million in campaign funds to stay out of the pokey.....

Cuomo puts himself in the company of such convicts as former Sens. Carl Kruger and Pedro Espada, sleazy former Assemblyman Vito Lopez and Sen. Malcolm Smith, whose trial is pending.

Four years ago, then-candidate Cuomo pointed to criminal pols in his pledge to clean up Albany. Today, he’s using the very same tactics to defend himself.

So good to know it’s all for the taxpayer!

Cuomo fears justice.

He and half of the NY Dems could end up in prison IF the truth were known.

WRT Cuomo’s Empire State Development Corp---a govt agency----its high time to mobilize The Bank Secrecy Act----to follow the paper trail and determine how govt monies changed hands; to determine the scope and dimension of collusion in sub rosa deals and who might be personally profiting.

<><> L/E needs to examine Cuomo’s Empire State Development Corp bank accounts.

<><> Joint bank accounts might be used to facilitate the transfer funds from one account to another, and/or wire-transferred offshore;

<><> To cover their tracks, fake invoices might be created to show that money deposited into accounts was being used for legitimate purposes.

<><> Financial schemes scheme might be advanced by issuing phony statements of payments from financial sources that actually covered the transfer of funds for insiders' personal use and/or for redistribution schemes.

===============================================

NOTE WELL Under the Bank Secrecy Act, banks are required to establish, implement and maintain programs designed to detect and report suspicious activity indicative of money laundering and other financial crimes. “The Bank Secrecy Act was enacted to protect the public from harm by identifying and detecting money laundering from criminal enterprises, terrorism, tax evasion or other unlawful activities,” the special agent in charge for Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation, explained.

Shady banking transactions could be prosecuted under the (1) Bank Secrecy ACT, (2) RICO, and, (3) the Hobbs Act.

=============================================

<><> L/E should get ahold of Cuomo’s Empire State Development Corp : (1) copies of checks, (2) wire transfers, (3) account statements, (4) invoices, (5) bills, (6) delivery tickets, (7) correspondence including snail mail, e-mail, mobile devices, cell phones, (8) contracts, (9) loan agreements, (10) other account books or official records.

L/E should also explore (a) monies paid to brokers, sub- brokers, (b) family members, (c) mortgage brokers, (d) financial managers, and, (e) real estate agents, brokers, and developers.

<><> L/E should scrutinize Cuomo’s Empire State Development Corp bank accounts for suspicious activites: (A) large deposits, (B) funds transferred from one account into another, (C) frequent requests for withdrawals.

<><> Cuomo’s Empire State Development Corp bank records might also show diversions to secret LLC accounts, to money launder and to operate personal ventures;

Tax fraud may also be a factor, facilitated by withdrawals, gift cards purchases, credit card purchases and intra-bank transfers from legal bank accounts into personal accounts, or redistribution schemes.

<><> A huge tipoff is whether bank withdrawals support and luxurious lifestyle including payments for real estate, investment and stock holdings, jewelry, luxury vehicles, resort travel....... and gifts from luxury outlets for wives and mistresses.

FBI TIPS PAGE--YOU MAY REMAIN ANONYMOUS ---https://tips.fbi.gov

SUBJECT: Collusion, conspiracy, bribery
IN RE: Cuomo’s Empire State Development Corp financial irregularities
REFERENCE: fraud, falsified documents, wire transfers, accounting fraud, etc.

NARRATIVE Taxpayers demand to know the scope and dimension of multiple conspiracies by Cuomo’s Empire State Development Corp to collude in sub rosa deals to personally profit and/or to facilitate redistribution schemes of US foreign aid.

OF INTEREST TO LAW ENFORCEMENT The FBI should interrogate individuals for evidence of multiple schemes to falsify official documents to further fraudulent schemes. The FBI should investigate any and all official documents submitted to the courts.

Crimes might include---conspiracy, collusion, falsifying official documents (a felony), money laundering, tax evasion, extortion, theft, misuse of public facilities.

Examine govt insiders tax returns with a fine-tooth comb.....especially entries for "interest income."
