Feds looking at Cuomo donors

From the Daily News:

A health care company that got big state grants after its execs and doctors gave to Gov. Cuomo's campaign is being probed by a Manhattan federal grand jury, according to a report Monday.

Crystal Run Healthcare — one of the Hudson Valley's biggest employers — got $25.4 million in taxpayer money after some of its executives, doctors and their spouses gave $400,000 to Cuomo's campaign, the Albany Times Union reported. The paper also reported that grand jury subpoenas seek testimony from "multiple" company employees.

The state gave the money to Crystal Run in 2016 to fund two facilities, the Times Union said.

Crystal Run's founder and CEO, Hal Teitelbaum, gave $50,000 to Cuomo's campaign in 2015 and $20,000 in 2017, records show. His wife, Jennifer, gave $25,000 in 2013.

Hopefully the donor flips on Cuomo and Andy ends up behind bars

Uh oh. Another pay-to-play scandal involving Mario's son and there is no one left to indict but him. This should boost Ms. Nixon's terrible campaign now that she's got Bharara's approval for a new commission and her legalization for pot (despite her misunderstood reparations statement), and what can only be a positive non-endorsement from co-mayor Chrilane Wilhelm (or maybe it's an endorsement considering she's aware how despised by citizens she and her idiot husband are)

Don't forget Schumer. A NY trifecta.

Just as a general observation, if everyone close to you is dirty, what is the chance that you aren't? Silver is convicted, Skelos is likely to be re-convicted, and Cuomo's close pal (forgot his name already-can probably get his number from the prison uniform) is also convicted.
Cuomo also shut down an ethics investigation just as it was getting close to him.
Add this all together.

Cuomo, Nixon....Unfortunately, the Republicans are not fielding any viable candidate, so we'll be stuck with Cuomo again.

He's a crook....though not as well spoken as his father was. If indicted, he'll get a mere slap on the wrist.
