Cuomo and Hynes
From the Department of Interesting Connections...
The person Andrew Cuomo tapped to help investigate Medicaid fraud is Brooklyn District Attorney Joe Hynes, who spearheaded a similar effort in Brooklyn.
Hynes, you may recall, is also the DA who revived a five-year-old probe of Cuomo's top challenger in the Democratic primary, Mark Green, looking into some allegedly illegal payments Green's campaign made during the 2001 mayoral race. The investigation led to plenty of uncomfortable questions during a crucial time in the attorney general contest, but did not result in a single indictment.
Bonus coincidence: Cuomo and Hynes went to the same high school.

Lincoln was succeeded by a man named Johnson, and Kennedy was succeeded by a man named Johnson! And Kennedy had a secretary named Lincoln, and Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy!
Seriously?
If Jeff Feldman was just a messenger why did Hynes indict him? Could it be because of the last election? Did Hynes need to get Feldman the white guy along with Norman so he can win votes in the black communities against John Sampson in his last election?

Al Sharpton and Lew Fidler went to the same high school. And that proves what?
BTW. expect Clarence Norman to be indicted by Hynes in the next month or sooner on charges of accepting a bribe from a sitting Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice to make that Justice a Justice. Perhaps then, all the clamor about making a deal with messengers will be forgotten ass Hynes investigation into the sale of judgships will be proven to have been justified all along. If I am wrong, you might be right. But if it happens....will you apologize to Joe Hynes?
Nah, you probably won't.
