You'll note the Clinton Foundation "pay to play" scheme didn't really take off until she became a NY senator. Andy's crowd taught her well.
C'mon Preet, we know you want an airtight case, but remember that perfect is the enemy of good enough.

Preet is still a Democrat, his marching orders are above his pay grade, if the Democraps want Cuomo to be the 2020 nominee, then you will not hear a peep from Preet, however Senator Pocahontas will rip his testicles off in a debate anyway, either way his dirty laundry will air.

From Steve McLaughlin:
10 doctors....7 of which hadn't given a dime in political donations in over a decade...suddenly become big Cuomo donors, two months before Cuomo announced a plan to use $1 billion in state funds for projects including the ones built by Crystal Run. 10 $25,000 checks over a two day period and like I said....7 of the 10 hadn't done a political donation in over a decade.
Crystal Run broke ground in the fall of 2015. Six months later, Cuomo announces that they'll receive $25 million of your money for projects that were already under way. "That suggests that either Crystal Run executives had a strong idea that they were going to win the competitive state bidding, or the state gave $25 million to private projects that were already being built without the taxpayer subsidies."
But....no.... don't for a second believe that it's a pay to play scheme. Oh no! How dare you think that! Just ask the Cuomo administration and one of his trained poodles will tell you "No donation of any size impacts a government action, period, and it is both irresponsible and a disservice to the Times Union's readers to imply otherwise." When you get done laughing at that, please read the article.
This story is pretty big folks. It's easy for one big donor to deny any quid pro quo was occurring. But, when 10 of them are getting leaned on by a U.S. Attorney named Preet Bharara (and make no mistake, he's had this info for months), well, if one of them says that yes, they were strong armed to give the donations to Cuomo....
Drain the swamp.
