BUSINESSMAN AT CENTER OF NYPD CORRUPTION PROBE TAKES PLEA DEAL

[Cavalier Knight]

A businessman at the center of the sweeping federal corruption probe of the NYPD accepted a plea deal Thursday.

Alex "Shaya" Lichtenstein pleaded guilty to two counts of bribing officers in the NYPD's licensing division to expedite handgun permits between 2013 and up until this summer.

Under his plea deal, federal prosecutors have agreed to recommend a sentence in the range of 57 to 71 months, although the judge is not bound by those parameters.

I know this was pre Trump administration but I have a feeling the swamp is going to be drained more and more in coming years.

I hope Trump will turn Prete loose on Cuomo.

We can only hope.

Of course he will get away with a few months. We get caught with a few spent casings in our pockets at jfk and its a year in jail.

Kind of sad that you have to resort to bribery to exercise a Constitutional right.
