Ex-Spitzer aide Dopp suspects 'improper conduct' by 3 on Troopergate panel
The New York Daily News by KENNETH LOVETT - July 29, 2008
ALBANY - Eliot Spitzer's former spokesman wants a committee that investigates lawyer misconduct to probe three members of the ethics panel that looked into the Troopergate scandal. Darren Dopp said he sent a letter to the Third Judicial Department Committee on Professional Standards asking for the review into possible "improper conduct" during the Troopergate investigation.
Dopp was one of four former top Spitzer aides the Public Integrity Commission charged last week with violating state ethics law. He is fighting those charges. His letter asks for a formal review of Commission Chairman John Feerick, Executive Director Herbert Teitelbaum and Commissioner Andrew Celli. All three are lawyers and fall under the purview of the Committee on Professional Standards, which investigates allegations of professional misconduct against attorneys. "Those who enforce ethics laws must be above reproach," Dopp wrote to committee chief lawyer Mark Ochs. In his letter, Dopp cited reports that Albany County District Attorney David Soares has evidence about improper communications between Teitelbaum and senior Spitzer aides during its probe. Soares alerted Feerick to the evidence.
"At a minimum, Mr. Teitelbaum and Mr. Feerick failed to recognize that their actions created the appearance of impropriety," he wrote. "More troubling is the possibility that some form of tampering or obstruction may have occurred." Dopp said Celli was quoted as defending Teitelbaum even though he officially recused himself from the Troopergate investigation because he's a friend of Spitzer's. "The conduct of Mr. Feerick, Teitelbaum and Celli have a direct bearing on my ability to get a fair hearing from the commission in an ongoing case," Dopp wrote. Commission spokesman Walter Ayres had no comment on the letter, though he and Teitelbaum have strongly defended the commission's performance. The state investigations commission is looking into several different Troopergate probes, including one by the Public Integrity Commission. klovett@nydailynews.com

Bring down the indictments...Lock these bums up...JAIL...JAIL...and JAIL
When the hell are the feds going to step in. We need a federal monitor over NYS court operations NOW!!!!!!!!!!
Here is a connection Bernadette Lupinetti, Esq. rigging cases in Orange County, complaints have been filed and nobody does anything including her involvement in a case where evidence of fraud and child porn and possible child prostitution brought foward. Judge covering up for Bernadette Lupinetti - This attorney married to Patrick Lupinetti, Esq. ADA for AG Office Medicaid Fraud. can anybody connect the dots or its too obvious?
good honest people have said that they would not let Teitelbaum clean their toilets - nothing more needs to be said.
Anything in this state that claims it is...ETHICS, INTEGRITY or JUSTICE...is a cancer that must be operated on and radiated out of this life, before it kills all of us!
WHAT OVERSIGHT? THIS WHOLE THING IS THEIR GAME, THE HOUSE WINS AND YOU LOSE. THEY ARE ALL CON MEN PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
It is all pure bullcrap from the top down. The system protects itself at all costs, or until they have a turkey to roast, then they make a show of doing something. You ain't connected and you are history.
Agencies such as The SJC, Public Integrity Comm., SIC, Inspector General, NYC DOI are not there to expose corruption and ethical violations, they are there as the "whitewash' groups to protect those that appoint them.
Every once in a blue moon an agency tries to do something good and do their job, and they get punished for it.
The SIC did a NYSP investigation in 1980, and the Chair and his 2nd in command got fired for it.
1989, the SIC gave a devasting report on Suffolk County. The result was that they lost 50% of their budget. The SIC board needs unanomous approval of all 6 commissioners and the Chair to approve an investigation. Now they approve the investigations more than they did before, but the bosses ax them out of hand if they are too controversial.
The Inspector General got fired for covering up for Spitzer, and lost her job after Paterson took over.
Ed Koch remarked several weeks ago that NYS politics is the laughing stock of the nation.
this is all part of the mutual protection society
You have to wonder what Judy Kaye's legacy will be. LOL.
Judy Kaye et al. are like the three blind mice, they all don't want to see anything. For what has happened in and to the courts she deserves to be charged and spend some time in jail.
Judge Kaye: LOSER! She went to the NYSBAR ASSN to honor a Buffalo detective who exonerated a man after spending 22 years in prison for crimes he didn't commit. Found the real killer in the bargain.
Why do I criticize her? Because the friggen system is so bogged down in corruptive and shiftless BS, that it should have been the Courts that should have jumped all over this and then get after the district attorney to make it right, instead he stonewalled it. Had the cop not gone to the TV stations the poor bastard would probably still be in jail.
Judge Kaye is the first corrupt one, she knows about the case rigging. Including how judges are covering up pedophilia, child porn and child prostitution....
it is my contention that the so-called 'Judicial System' doesn't work ... there is no JUSTICE. This is a racket run by attorneys and Judge for their own economic gain. The racket is to suck the money out of your pocket and them scam you and that's the attorneys and Judges ideal of justice.
Here is another dot Senator Larkin in Orange County.......
this oversight business is a scam. The system has been remamed The America InJustice System .........
