Records fill in details of Spitzer-Bruno feud
Albany County Clerk's office makes public records of 'Troopergate' scandal investigation
The Albany Times Union by ROBERT GAVIN and IRENE JAY LIU, Staff writers - July 5, 2008
ALBANY -- Thousands of once-secret documents released Tuesday included an e-mail exchange in which former Gov. Eliot Spitzer and his aides discussed how to make Senate Majority Joseph Bruno look "crazy" as the feud between the two men heated up. At the same time, the records show Spitzer vehemently telling investigators he never ordered State Police to surveil his nemesis.
The four boxes of documents -- totaling 8,562 pages of records -- reveal Spitzer and top aides repeatedly exchanged e-mails touching upon everything from politics to their opinon of newspaper coverage. The records tell the story of two investigations by District Attorney David Soares into allegations that Spitzer aides misused State Police to collect damaging information on Bruno as part of a political smear campaign. More than 8,500 pages of records of Soares' investigations into the travel records scandal were made public Tuesday by the Albany County Clerk's office. The clerk's office released four boxes worth of photocopied documents following requests from newspapers across the state into the scandal, which surfaced after Bruno, R-Brunswick, accused Spitzer, a Democrat, of launching a smear campaign.
The controversy erupted following a July 1, 2007, Times Union story on Bruno and other state officials' taxpayer-funded travel last July. Later that month, State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo found top gubernatorial aides wrongly used State Police to re-create from memory Bruno's use of state aircraft and police drivers to travel to New York City on days when he had political fundraisers. Cuomo found nothing illegal, but that police were wrongly drawn into a political dispute. Soares' first report found no wrongdoing by Spitzer. A second report later concluded Spitzer was, in fact, involved despite stating he did not know what his aides were doing. The documents released contain personal information that was redacted or completely blacked out by Soares' office. The documents were released at 10 a.m.

Hey Cuomo mothers and families are been separated from their children by the Orange County Goshen New York Family and Supreme Court. How about investigating the evidence of the cover up of child porn and child pedophilia by the Orange County District Attorneys Office, CPS, the Local FBI and the Orange County Court? How about the attorneys and judges involved in these cases where children are removed from the mother's care, eliminating the mother and placing the child/ren with the fathers with history of Domestic Violence, Alcohol, drug use, sexual assault, familial pedophilia and able to hired a corrupted attorney in the county who are working together with other rats such as CPS worker, "forensic evaluators," therapist and law guardians? One law guardian even married to one of your ADAs for medicaid fraud. Please Cuomo tell me what is your take on child sexual abuse and child porn in the State? Why the authotities refused to investigate cases of corruption and child abuse and pedophilia in the Goshen Court Family and Supreme Court? Can you provide some relief in this important matter, since we the authorities claim is not illegal. Maybe you want to ask Francis Nicolai what is his cut since Orange County is part of the Ninth Judicial District and in one of these cases rigged where the child has been intoduced to the world of child porn, Francis Nicolai Ninth Judical District Judge change orders and did other innapropiate moves to aid the father get custody. Together of course with the sitting Jugde and the other rats. I am willing to provide the documents, recordings, even a letter signed by Francis Nicolai proven his involvement in the case togther with the Goshen CPS, Orange Coutny DA's Office, FBI, PD and the "Officers of the Court" including the Judge's senior clerk.
Spitzer used A tactic common to the OFICE OF COURT ADMINISTRATION ....MAKING an ENEMY OF THEIRS LOOK CRAZY!
I have been on that side with OCA for 19 years!
I accused an upstate judge of sexual harassment in 1989....long before the Clarence Thomas situation, and it was enough for OCA (WHO KNEW AND ACCEPTED THIS MANDATORY ACT AS JUDICIAL ACCEPTANCE) to nip it quickly, before people and taxpayers, accepted this behavior as repugnant!
The attorney for the judge asked a surpeme court judge to deem me psychotic and when that was rejected, asked that I be designated temporarily psychotic. The judge refused both requests and the attorney( whose very close relatives and friends, have now terminated my 30 yr excellent employment with OCA ,because the judge was removed) went to his atty friend at the state insurance fund, and asked him to demand I see a forensic psychiatrist..per my 2 yr old worker's compensation case, regarding this claim of harassment!
The state ins. fund paid this doctor to find something to make me it look like I was at least somewhat crazy, but this doctor was way too astounded, at what I told him, supplying facts, that he found in my favor. The state ins. fund, was so in disbelief, that they made me go another time within a short period, to this same doctor who became so angry that the state ins. fund questioned his assessmment, that he wrote another and better scathing letter to OCA and the fund on my behalf!
So when OCA wanted to remove me for filing a second and related and retaliatory claim of discrimination..they fired me with nothing but false documentation from female employees that worked only a few months or one year for OCA and new nothing about me, as well as having multiple issues themselves, and in which I have multiple provable attachments to the administrative judge...SHARON TOWNSEND...yes the alleged overworked and distraught judge from family court way back in the 90's, related by her on this blog, a few weeks ago!
So the state governments located in ALBANY AND NYC find that if they attempt to make someone look crazy, they have won their allegations and lawsuits, and have destroyed longtime careers , because, they the almighty ruling, with multiple employees verifying, have testified, falsly written and testified to , said so!
The only problem is that before OCA made their second attempt in 2004....someone very close to them and that helped them in this attempt, came to me and told me a specific name, that was GOING to make me look crazy, before they started!
The Bruno case helps me tremendously, and I am elated it has been busted revealing, what they really are about. Just imagine how the taxpayer is going to view the COURT SYSTEM, AS A LIAR AND CRIMINAL!
I totally agree with the previous comment. I work downstate and, despite what most people think, there are many, many honest people working for OCA. Unfortunately, we have learned to keep our mouths shut, just to keep our jobs. Yes, we would welcome Mr. Cuomo's sweeping out of the old nasty OCA business as usual way of dealing (read: hurting) with people. Until then, I remain......silent. But then, I will join the tens of thousands cheering in the streets.
Maybe, they have something on Cuomo. Will we just changing crime bosses?
No, they don't have anything on Andres. Cuomo will be doing something soon. And it'll insure he's the next governor.
I hope Attorney General Andrew Cuomo finally does something real soon..Because my patience is wearing very thin..Between the FEDS, US ATTY'S OFFICE and the AG'S Office what are they waiting for a PERSONAL INVITATION TO DO SOMETHING?
lock up idot Spitzer and throw away the key, see how much good his daddy's money does for him then.
don't have much faith, these bad guys will have to be pulled out of their jobs, they figure they will tough it out plus some friends will help them
Andrew Coumo the AG better do something quickly because I think people are wise to all this crap and the whole house of cards will fall!!!!!!!!!!!
How about removing Kaye, Nicolai, Judge John K. McGuirk from Orange County and the rest of the rats?
these is disgusting, they all belong in jail, do not stop go directly to jail. So why don't they just do it?
unfortunatley I am involved in a cps case brought on by my coaine addicted,head bashing abusing convicted felon...ex(father of my daughter) who has had little or no part in my 10 year old daughters life since she was 3. he has finally cleaned up his act and moved to texas now he wants custody. she misses her dad and wants to go. I am now stuck in a cps investigation in orange county with ms. elizabeth colon heading the investigation. she is a blooming idiot that likes to tell me how disabled her children are and how she would like to get mine into an early intervention program (she believes by the allegations brought on that I USED DRUGS WHILE PREGNANT) this lady is insane, I have offered to take drug testing and have any evaluation done. What gets me? there was nothing done and I have been indicated in a report as a child abuser. I dont know how they get away with this but it is destroying my life and it is enough to make a sane person crazy. who can I turn to to stop this madness. I feel like I am caught up in some sickening power trip played by the county. I think these caseworkers need to be evaluated. What ia going on with the system? It can't possibly work? If I were an abuser I would be able to kill me children if it depended on the investigations these people are doing how can innocent people protect themselves againt these monsters before they get caught up.
