Soares: No Illegal Conduct
The Albany County district attorney just released a statement saying that two aides to Gov. Eliot Spitzer did not commit any crime when they compiled travel records from the State Police on Republican Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno.
“This office found no illegal conduct,â€? stated District Attorney P. David Soares, a Democrat. “To the contrary, we found that the governor, his staff, and the New York State Police were acting within their authority in compiling and releasing documents to the media concerning the use of state aircraft.â€?
In July, Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, also a Democrat, found the aides acted improperly when they allegedly plotted to damage Bruno. Yet Cuomo also found no laws to be broken.
“The Governors Office and the New York State Police have cooperated fully with our review,” Soares said, “including a voluntary appearance by the Governor. In addition, they provided all documents and testimony we requested and needed to complete our review.”
Soares is planning a 11 a.m. press conference Friday to release his report on the scandal.

Soares is a Democrat. No surprise.
It will be interesting to see if Soares took
statements under oath or not.
The Republicans have hired former US Attorney
Joe DiGenova to work it another way.
But re: Soares…If Spitzer’s crew did nothing
wrong, why the evident cover up? Most folks don’t
cover up good conduct.
