Donovan never had a chance. The idea of a Staten Island DA who never even once prosecuted a crooked Staten Island politician is astonishing.

I'm not even slightly surprised that a corporation as evil as Wal-Mart is hiring one of Bloomberg's shills.

I guess he joins the ranks of Hank "Take The Fifth: Sheinkopf who has Shelly Silver on speed dial, and Evan Stavisky who has "Mommy" on speed dial

I guess Bradley Tusk has Bloomberg on Speed Dial.

I wonder who has "Cover Up" Cuomo on Speed Dial ?

This Elect them, then lobby them has to stop.

Considering that he Butchered the Dan Donovan for AG race, I'm actually shocked that anyone, including the folks at Walmart, would hire this guy.
