Ok. Rooting out corruption is good. So, when's the SDNY & DOJ going to apply the same amount of justice to trump & his thugs? Not more, not less. Just equal. 🤔
New York's Democrat lieutenant governor resigns after arrest in federal bribery case
Brian Benjamin is accused of conspiring to direct state funds to a real estate investor in exchange for illegal campaign contributions. And they attack the Trumps. We see what going on in NY..
A New York DEMOCRAT being a thief!
Nobodys going to believe that.
Keep voting Democratic NY its working out well.
All the homeless in NYC should go after the Democrats governor to get the stolen money back
Democrats politicians are corrupt specially in NYC
Dang, y'all liberals are the most racist people in the world, funny how only Black Democrat Politicians get arrested for political crap, meanwhile Nancy,Joe,Clinton's,etc have done more than this decades ago, an still you only see Black Democrat politicians actually being arrested, just look at how many Black Maryland Politicians have gone to jail in just the past 10+ yrs.
Feds can arrest everyone except. Donald j. Trump.
What a surprise!! Another Democrat bites the dust in New York. We all know why people are leaving New York in droves.
I never liked him anyway.
Governor Kathy is Nancy Pelosi’s niece that’s the problem
Brought to you by the people at the NSA .. Nice work everyone..!!
I love watching the left fall!
It would be nice for you to provide a safe environment for at least some of america's children instead of cultivating them for your lying deceitful fraud of a government we all should be able to call a menace. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvdLovAaYzM
What is Racketeering?
A racket is to solve a problem that wouldn’t otherwise exist without the enterprise offering the service. Racketeering is defined as the attempt, conspiring, aiding, abetting, coercing, or intimidated a person to commit an offense for financial gain.
FOR NBC:
"The Judge bought his house with the US Government Produced Cash, Mr Cosby.".. (Stolen? ("Die for that sonny?" (LA Forbidden, So What?"..))..).. Paul Hardcastle

LMAO resign? He was CRIMINALLY indicted lol
What? Another dishonest black Democrat?! Yea. Not news.
Crooked politicians in NY? What a surprise.
Wow, NY is having a tough time with decent politicians.
Bring back the love gov! Biden said Cuomo would make a great President.
Hochul will just pick another grifter libturd out the hat. Of course it will have to be chocolate …
I thought fraud was a virtue for liberals.
Let him loose lest we have a riot on our hands from antifa and BLM
Keep voting for the same crime syndicate.
Crooked Democrats. Never vote Democrat
Let him loose lest we have a riot on our hands from antifa and BLM
At what point do we ask ourselves…"Do we really need these people in our lives?"
He also wanted the police defunded 🤣 🤡
On a side note why don't you just send Ukraine all the ghost guns
New York had their very own Nixon/Agnew.
Democrat normal operations
God said many will resign, fall and lose everything, but they cannot dodge his judgment.
Wow, looking at these comments it's going to be rough November for the DNC. Maybe it will be enough to snap them back to the reality that we are a Country governed by a Constitution and not Executive fiat. Biden has issued almost 200 executive orders and actions in his first 15 months. We need to get back to law making through the Legislative branch and ratified by the Executive branch as our Constitution intended.
