Judge Caproni slams Buffalo developer Lou Ciminelli with a tough sentence of 2 yrs and 4 months. Ciminelli was convicted of rigging a bid for Cuomo’s Buffalo Billion economic initiative.
Judge does grant Ciminelli pending appeal, acknowledging that the legal theory in the Buffalo Billion case is a tough one.
“Mr. Ciminelli you can cock your head and look like you don’t know what I’m talking about but you do know what I’m talking about. That’s why you deleted your Gmail account!” Judge Caproni said.

Gov.-elect Gavin Newsom announced his first two appointments Friday, naming Ann O’Leary, a former top aide to Hillary Clinton, as his chief of staff and Ana Matosantos, one-time director of the state Department of Finance, as his Cabinet secretary. 🤬sfchronicle.com/politics/artic…
O’Leary, an attorney and senior policy adviser for President Bill Clinton, led Hillary Clinton’s prospective transition team during the 2016 presidential campaign. (This man needs to go for a million reasons.)
WHY hasn't California made the list to be investigated yet? There are multiple states requiring investigations. I truly believe our country had a big #RedWave & I don't say that lightly, because I am about facts. @MattWhitaker46 @TheJusticeDept @FBI @realDonaldTrump #StopTheSteal

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's former "right-hand man" Joseph Percoco faces sentencing this afternoon at 2 p.m.

Look out for my coverage soon.
ICYMI: Prosecutors emphasized Percoco's "significant power" throughout the Cuomo political dynasty in their sentencing memo, which seeks more than 5 years imprisonment.

The memo: documentcloud.org/documents/4910…

I will be live-tweeting today's sentencing.
The defense memo (linked below) puts the Cuomo ties up high too, but downplays the "few decisions" that scuttled Percoco's political career involving two companies with business before the state: CPV (building a fracked gas plant) and COR (developer).
