The New York Times is finally getting around to reporting the story of a Democrat Senator who was indicted in 2004 for mail fraud and is facing new charges for conspiracy to steal almost half a million dollars in state grants that were intended to support various charities and not-for-profit groups in New York state.
The only problem is that the New York Times never identifies the corrupt politician as a Democrat.
State Senator EfraÃn González Jr., already under indictment on federal mail fraud charges, was indicted today on additional charges involving conspiracy to steal $423,000 in state grants intended for not-for-profit groups, the United States attorney’s office said.
Mr. González, who represents parts of the Bronx, has been under investigation by federal prosecutors and the city’s Department of Investigation since 2004. In today’s charges, announced by Michael J. Garcia, the United States Attorney in Manhattan, Mr. González and several others are accused of mail fraud and theft of federal funds in a conspiracy to steal the $423,000 through a complicated scheme involving not-for-profit groups.
The indictment says that Mr. González took advantage of charity groups, including one that funded Little League baseball, to hide money that he intended to steal. NY1, the all-news cable channel, said that Mr. González used some of the funds to pay for his home in the Dominican Republic, jewelry, clothing and his daughter’s tuition.
The democrat Senator was unanimously reelected into office in November despite being under indictment for using the U.S. postal system to facilitate the theft of $37,000 to pay for various entertainment items such as Yankee tickets and fees for a vacation resort in the Dominican Republic. The alleged theft spanned a six year period from November of 2000 through May, 2006.
For the life of me I can’t understand how this went unnoticed for so long. Oh wait, the New York Times was on the job - that explains about everything we need to know. They were too busy gathering national security secrets for front page publication to be concerned about a democrat Senator stealing money from nonprofit kids groups. Aren’t the perks of having a liberal activist media great?

[...] This story has been neatly swept under the rug. It goes all the way back to 2004, and can’t imagine a cover-up of this magnitude could have occurred throughout the liberal underworld without the participation of socialist sweatheart, Hillary Clinton. This is the sort of stuff that is ripping America apart and endangering the lives of our soldiers deployed to fight the War on Terror. [...]
