Crooked former New York City Councilman Larry Seabrook must cough up his public pension payments to satisfy the $418,252 judgment against him, a judge ruled Tuesday.
Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara recently moved to seize Seabrook's state and city pensions because he had yet to pay a cent of the forfeiture order.
The 63-year-old Seabrook, who also served as a state assemblyman and senator, had argued against the move, saying state law protected his taxpayer-funded pensions.
But U.S. District Judge Kevin Castel said federal law took precedence over state statutes.

Take him for every cent he's got. Just like what he did to taxpayers.
This should be standard operating procedure when a pol is convicted of anything that incurs with a fine.
A crook robs a bank for $5000 with $300 bucks in his pocket
When the cops catch him and recover the money he howls the $300 was his before he entered the bank and its Wrong to take it because he has Rights
Too bad, ya creep!
If that doesn't look like a mug shot, what does?
