In 2008, Hillary Clinton called Sheldon Silver “a stalwart voice on behalf of the needs of New Yorkers.”

The news, yesterday: “Silver, 71, a Manhattan Democrat, was convicted on all seven counts against him. The charges of honest services fraud, extortion and money laundering stemmed from schemes by which he obtained nearly $4 million in exchange for using his position to help benefit a cancer researcher and two real estate developers.”

Will they have the balls to go after Cuomo? He's been mentioned a couple hundred times in the wiretaps and other communications involving this corruption.

He's a dirt bag of the first order and should be taken down.
