FBI raids homes of two Cuomo cronies amid corruption probe

A Manhattan federal judge approved search warrants for at least three locations, and the raids were carried out two weeks ago, a law-enforcement source said.

The feds were able to secure the warrant for Howe’s out-of-state home by arguing that he conducted business within the Southern District of New York, which covers Manhattan, The Bronx and the northern suburbs, the source said.

Howe and Percoco, who in January began working as a top exec at Madison Square Garden, are at the center of a probe that Cuomo’s office has said involves “questions of improper lobbying and undisclosed conflicts of interest by some individuals which may have deceived state employees involved in the respective programs and may have defrauded the state.”

The Cuomo Crime Family has long been in competition with the Clinton Crime Family.

I tend to think it’s more like an Illinois situation - such an unbelievable mountain of corruption that even the full force of government, press and entertainment can’t cover it up.

Why does it feel Hillary's past is involved...
