www.cbslocal.com is reporting that federal prosecutors have leveled new charges against Malcolm Smith:
Tabone is the central figure in another new charge — Smith allegedly scheming to get his help to win the endorsement of an unidentified “prominent person.”
According to the indictment, Smith was counting on Savino and Tabone to come through for him or else they would lose his support for judicial appointments.
Smith allegedly said, “… Let’s just say they screwed you and me and said, you know, I’m not doing anything… This world is too small… Imagine you came to me and said, Malcolm, they screwed me… I got them already asking me about judgeships, because you know judgeships now come through here, it comes through the governor.”
