Tomorrow New York Senate will vote whether or not to confirm Janet DiFiore (despite available documentary evidence of her corruption and misconduct warranting disbarment) as the Chief Judge of New York Court of Appeals.
Even after a unanimous vote of NYS Senate's Judiciary Committee after the theatrical "confirmation hearing" where only brown-nosers were invited and opposing witnesses with actual evidence against DiFiore were blocked, and their testimony misrepresented by Bonacic - NYS Senate somehow paused to vote today and did not yet confirm Janet DiFiore as Chief Judge of New York Court system.
So, NYS corrupt governor who needs DiFiore in that particular position of power, sweetened the deal - he nominated to the same court NYS Senate's OWN ATTORNEY!!!
Here is the proof:
Usually the State of New York and all of its branches, including the New York State Senate, is represented - by statute - by New York State Attorney General.
And if NYS Attorney General recuses himself, it is not just any random law firm that is picked to represent the New York Senate instead, those representing the Senate - and especially such known corruptioners as Skelos and Silver - are very close insiders, and especially when what the attorney is hired to do is fight subpoenas from the Moreland Commission.
By the way, Garcia was involved in investigation of the prostitution ring that outed as customer and led to resignation of Governor Spitzer and to put into power Governor Pataki, favored by the felon (and Garcia's client) Sheldon Silver.
Garcia ' s opposition to subpoenas for Silver and Dean did not save them from criminal prosecution.
Are Garcia and DiFiore nominated for high judicial seats to make them unreachable to Preet Bharara, now having made DiFiore in a position to regulate Bharara ' s law license?
So, Michael Garcia is joined at the hip with the Senate and it's felons. And he is going to be on top of the judicial branch now?
What a sweet deal!
Cuomo is offering the Senate a deal they, probably, will not be able to refuse: to take Cuomo's corrupt nominee DiFiore, who will be fixing cases for Cuomo, and, so that the Senate would have their own benefit from the deal, to promote THEIR OWN COUNSEL to the same court - so that Michael Garcia would be fixing cases for the Senate, too.
Note names of two convicted felons Garcia represented and was in close contact with. Silver is not yet in prison - but an attorney who represented him and, thus, was in close contact with him, is offered up as a bundle-deal for the replacement of Silver's buddy Lippman with Cuomo's corrupt puppet DiFiore.
I wonder what this nation's Founding Fathers would say about such "checks and balances" and such a "separation of powers":
the executive branch offers to the legislative branch a corrupt judicial nominee to fix its own cases, and sweetens the deal with another judicial nominee, attorney for the legislative branch, to fix their own cases.
Of course, it is better to have a judge on the top court as a case-fixer instead a "mere attorney".
Great job, Cuomo.
I am holding my breath as to what NYS Senate will say. Or - should I?
