Does Carlucci’s Relationship With Indicted Senator Answer Financial Questions?

These questions about how Carlucci found $96,000 to pay for a new house have been bugging me.  Where did the money come from?

Then someone reminded me about when the Journal Newsreported that Carlucci had to spend $17,000 on criminal lawyers just to cooperate with the FBI.  Maybe there’s more to that Malcolm Smith case than has been reported. Carlucci was cleared by the DA, but could there be more to it than has already been reported? I don’t know, but Carlucci should come clean about what his cooperation and involvement entailed.
