No Hevesi Guilty Plea Till His Lawyer Comes Back

2010_09_ahevesi2.jpg After all the talk that ex-State Comptroller Alan Hevesi would plead guilty to charges related to the "pay-to-play" state pension fund scandal, there was nothing! Now the Daily News reports, "A source familiar with the investigation said Hevesi plans to plead guilty to felony corruption - but won't cop to it until his lawyer Bradley Simon returns next week from an overseas trip. 'It's going to happen,' the source insisted." Attorney General Andrew Cuomo would only say, "This is an ongoing investigation and we have no agreement with Mr. Hevesi pertaining to that investigation." Fine—we'll just watch the video of Paladino and Dicker over and over and over and over again to get our fill of Albany insanity.

    Meaning that they have postponed an announcement of the plea deal until Cuomo's campaign feels they need a boost or to see if Paladino really does have some dirt on Cuomo.

    It's a game of chess.
