Feds want 2+ years for Hiram

From the NY Post:

Crooked ex-pol Hiram Monserrate richly deserves up to 27 months in the slammer for a corruption scheme to help him win higher office, the feds say.

In court papers filed ahead of his sentencing next week, prosecutors blasted the fallen Queens Democrat for using his post as a city councilman to steer more than $100,000 in taxpayer money to a nonprofit that used the funds to finance his failed 2006 bid for a state Senate seat.

“In short, he abused the power of one office in a corrupted effort to secure another, and, in the process, he undermined the integrity of a New York state election,” according to the Manhattan federal-court filing.

Prosecutors Brent Wible and Carrie Cohen noted that while “other elected officials have been convicted of crimes involving larger sums of money, Monserrate’s crimes were serious” and “furthered the public’s cynicism and distrust of their elected officials.”

Never happen, he must have dirt and skeleton on dozens of crooks like himself that HAVEN'T gotten caught.
-Yet that is.

How many Queens politicians, defectives, cops, DA's do the feds have to put on the bench to testify or corroborate evidence AGAINST him ?
---Likely ZERO because all rats stick together like sludge at the bottom of a cesspool !
I wouldn't doubt this crook has connections to Colombian and MS13 gangs.
Some people certainly paid a visit to that girl and her mother he cut up.

I can't speak for the politicians, but I don't know one cop or Assistant DA who has any regard for this creep, or who doesn't want to see him behind bars. He was a complete zero on the job, and was very well hated by his bosses and fellow cops. The only "friends" he had were the former 115 Pct Sgt with the centerfold ex wife, both fired, and the horseface idiot leader of the police latino organization they all helped create. The former Sgt follows Hiram around like a female puppy dog, and likes to try to throw his weight around Jackson Heights and Corona, still addressing himself as a NYPD Sergeant, even though he was fired in the late 90's.
