He just bagged the DEM leader of the Assembly; then the GOP leader of the Senate. Now this.
Note the cross fertilization: Skelos ( GOP) and Bonomo ( presumably a "DEM" .
Point: party designations don't matter here: it's all about $$$.
This Bharara, however, seems to be the real deal. Whom.... or what... do we have to thank for him.
(No offense: but the NYS DEM Party is now the home base of Clinton, Inc.; Hmmmmm.....I wonder why.)
>>>US Attorney Preet Bharara moved a giant step closer to Gov. Andrew Cuomo late last week with an indictment that alleges insurance exec Anthony Bonomo, a top Cuomo contributor whom the governor made chairman of the New York Racing Association, gave a lucrative no-show job to state Sen. Dean Skelos son, sources have told The Post.
Bonomo is Cuomos guy, and he wouldnt offer anything to Skelos kid without first making sure it was OK with the governor or his people, said a senior state Democrat.
The fact that Bonomo, like Dorego, is cooperating with Bharara brings the whole investigation a giant step closer to Cuomo, the Democrat added, referring to Charles Dorego, a top official at Cuomo megacontributor Leonard Litwins Glenwood Management.
Glenwood, a real estate development firm, has been linked to the Skelos indictment and the indictment of Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver. Dorego is cooperating with Bhararas probe.
Others at the Capitol agreed Bharara appeared to be moving closer to charging Cuomo and/or one or more of his top aides in his investigation of corruption in state government, which originated with Cuomos abrupt closure last year of his Moreland Act Commission as it was closing in on evidence of wrongdoing.
This is a drip by drip thats getting closer and closer to Cuomo, with Bonomo and Dorego providing prosecutors with an inside look at how the corrupt Albany system works, explained a second senior state political figure.
Bharara has refused to say who remains in his cross hairs, but has told the media to stay tuned for more high-profile arrests.>>>>
