There may have been more corrupt politicians in New York than former State Assemblyman Brian M. McLaughlin, even though he admitted stealing from his campaign, the state government, labor unions, even a Little League program in Queens.
But there may not be many who have cooperated with the government as fully as he has.
Mr. McLaughlin’s assistance, prosecutors said in court papers, helped them win convictions for bribery and corruption against State Senator Carl Kruger, Assemblyman Anthony S. Seminerio and David Rosen, the chief executive of the nonprofit MediSys Health Network.
Mr. McLaughlin also was the prosecution’s main witness against Santo Petrocelli Sr., an electrical contractor who pleaded guilty in 2009 to paying bribes for labor peace, those papers said.
On Wednesday, Mr. McLaughlin was rewarded for that cooperation when Judge Richard J. Sullivan of Federal District Court in Manhattan reduced his prison sentence to six years, from the original term of 10, the United States attorney’s office in Manhattan said.
Mr. McLaughlin has served nearly five years at a low-security prison in Otisville, N.Y., and will most likely receive time off for good behavior, his lawyer, Michael F. Armstrong, said. He will be eligible for release this year.

Does crime and turns on everyone he collaborated with. Real life piece of garbage. Not loyal to his constituents and not loyal to his crimeys.
Real life PIECE OF GARBAGE.
Time to rat out scum buns like John Liu etc. Mr. Mc Laughlin.
Looks like prison food made him lose weight.
His bloated look is gone.
I bet Dizzy Lizzie's heart is a pitter-patter.
Note that it was the Feds that caught him and prosecuted him...and Not Queens DA Brown.
He can't drink as much as he used to...no beer or booze allowed in jail. Of course he's lost weight.
And he sure looks beat.
I wonder if Bubba did the "jail house rock" with Brian.
Only his proctologist knows for sure.
Yep! Dizzy Lizzy's gonna be on her knees again.
She's even bought herself a new pair of satin lined kneepads in panting expectation of seeing her old beau Brian again.
Should Phyllis Shafrin be jealous?
Just in time to go to Taiwan where Jimmy Meng can give him more suitcases full of cash
Look for the Asian connections. That Taiwanese cash pipeline that has supplied so many political candidates might have a crimp in it but it is still flowing greenbacks! There are a lot of things you bright FBI guys and gals should be looking at to tie up the bundle of loose threads...the late Donald Manes, Cecilia Chang, Gary Ackerman, John Liu, Jimmy (maybe Grace) Meng, yadda, yadda, yadda.
