COURTS CORRUPT: SNITCH
By ALEX GINSBERG and C.J. SULLIVAN
PAUL SIMINOVSKY: Freed from prison.
March 10, 2008 -- His testimony helped nail crooked Judge Gerald Garson, and he paid for his own misdeeds with eight months in jail - but disgraced matrimonial lawyer Paul Siminovsky says there are still rotten eggs in Brooklyn. "There are three judges in Brooklyn that slammed me in the press," Siminovsky told The Post. "When I was taking them out to lunch or contributing to their election campaigns, they never said no to me. When I did that, I was all right, a good guy."
Siminovsky declined to say who else he had wined and dined other than Garson. But in his first public comments since walking out of jail last month, he hinted that Garson, his former mentor, was just part of the problem. "I heard that when I testified, a lot of court workers had some bad things to say about me," he said. "When I was taking them out to lunch and being Mr. Nice Guy, no one had anything bad to say about me."
Siminovsky, 49, was caught accepting money from litigants seeking to bribe Garson, but quickly worked out a deal for himself. Working with prosecutors, he wore a wire and got the judge to accept gifts, including a box of cigars, in exchange for favors and advice in his matrimonial courtroom. The George Washington University Law School graduate said he believed that Garson's high-profile trial would root out some of the more obvious and inappropriate schmoozing between judges and attorneys.
"The minor-league problem will always go on," he said, referring to small-time corruption. "Favors still get done, but I think it is cleaner in the sense that people are being more careful. I think people want to believe it is better." Siminovsky got four months off his sentence for good behavior. alex.ginsberg@nypost.com
The "rotten eggs" are all over the state of NY. Can't you smell it?
ReplyDeleteTHE STENCH FROM THE BENCH IS OVER POWERING AND THEY GET AWAY WITH IT ALL IN THE SELF PROTECTION RACKET THAT THEY RUN
ReplyDeleteLET THE DOMINO'S BEGIN TO FALL..LOCK UP ALL OF THESE BUMS AND THROW AWAY THE KEY.
ReplyDeleteand now we have Eliot Spitzer our Gov. caught up with whores, what and who is next? And Gov. this is not a private matter, get over that quick. No federal investigation is a private matter!
ReplyDeleteSiminovsky now says Garson was just part of the problem. HELLO, the victims know that only too well. What we the long suffering victims need is a stand up insider to come forward and spill the beans on all the rats. When will we have Justice?
ReplyDeletehow many corrupt judges et al. did this whoremaster Eliot Spitzer appoint? And let's not forget this bum is another LAWYER.
ReplyDeleteELIOT SPITZER, THE FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL, AND HIS OFFICE WERE GIVEN EVIDENCE PERTAINING TO ESPOSITO'S ALLEGED "SEX SCANDAL" CASE, REGARDING HER FORMER WALL STREET LAWYER ALLEN H. ISAAC. UPON INFORMATION AND BELIEF, THE FBI EVEN CONTACTED THE CHIEF OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS UNIT'S DENNIS PARKER SEVERAL TIMES. ESPOSITO'S PLEAS WERE IGNORED AND DISMISSED.
ReplyDeleteI contacted ELIOT in 2004 about investigating OCA for retaliation and termination of me for a past removal of a judge that i worked for in the late 80's and who was removed for 2 yrs of serious sexual harassment and abuse against myself. Then after 7 yrs and an OCA settlement of my FEDERAL LAWSUIT against them in 1997... they fired me, without any problems ever in 30 yrs, other than what they conspired with that removed judge's political friends who became my supervisors. Eliot's office clearly stated...HE WILL NOT GO AFTER THE NY COURT SYSTEM..."BANG" ( I MEAN THEY HUNG UP).
ReplyDeleteFrom my observation of the all the misconduct participated in by the judiciary and politicians of NY, they seem to have a few strong things in common. Let me "INSERT" all of them have been ARROGANT, ABUSIVE VERBALLY, AND THEIR EXTERIOR IS ALWAYS CLEAN AND NATTY! So let me state....BARACK OBAMA'S wife states his breath stinks and his socks smell...I AM VOTING FOR THE MAN..BARACK! Nothing to hide there!
