Interesting that this news came same time as the shooting on the subways.

Were they waiting for a big news story to pop before arresting him so not many people would see?

Boy that Hochul woman sure knows how to pick them!

This is what she gets for going all woke and inclusive while catering to Harlem's and NYC's corrupt democrat machine.

If NYS GOP got their act together this election year should be like shooting fish in a barrel. But no, they will screw things up yet again, and same cast of characters will be back in Albany 1 January 2023. Except Brian Benjamin of course, who will be busy picking out china patterns with his new cellmate Bubba.

One party rule with an iron fist. They think that they can get away with anything and often do. The best was Shelley Silver, Eliot "Client #9" Spitzer and David Paterson. The New York RINO's have had a few of theirs go down in flames too. Nicholas "Fat Nick" Spano is the first that comes to my mind along with Dean Skelos. Yet people wonder why New York is so screwed up and so God damn expensive to live there?

And she’s ducking responsibility, which seems par for the course these days.
She’s saying “my bad, ‘but…’”
Wouldn’t be surprised if she starts blaming Putin & climate change at some point.
