Carlucci & other politicians spent $7 Million in legal fees



Did you see the big story in Sunday’s Journal News about crooked politicians using their campaign contributions to hire their criminal defense lawyers? The Journal News said:

“Sen. David Carlucci, D-Clarkstown, showed about $17,700 in legal fees after he was named in a court document outlining federal charges against fellow Sen. Malcolm Smith, D-Queens, and top officials in Spring Valley.”

Is Carlucci telling the truth about cooperating fully?  It doesn’t cost $17,000 to truthfully cooperate about one meeting, does it?  What is Carlucci hiding?  Why isn’t he paying his lawyers out of his own pocket?  Is this why he helped the Republicans block campaign finance reform?
