it is an abdication of his oath of office to ask
another branch of government that he is investigating
for permission to do anything…and certainly for permission to release such a crucial report…the
da is a supposed to be a constitutional officer
not a wholly owned subsidiary of a powerful governor
of his own party

The poor Times-Union hasn’t been the same since Dan Lynch was managing editor and columnist there. It was actually a pretty good paper, for a Hearst paper, in the late 1980s and early ‘90s, during Lynch’s prime.

You can be sure that Lynch would have gone after Soares as much as he would have Spitzer. In Dan Lynch’s time at the T-U, he helped send to Pennsylvania a county exec over graft involving the Pepsi Center.

Now, the T-U is a cozy collaborator with local officials. Sad. Like being back in Daniel Ortega’s Nicaragua, where his Sandanistas closed opposition newspapers.

EVERY damned time these pols are caught dead to rights in a misdemeanor or potential felony situation, the overseeing authority says that existing law has to be “clarified in the interest of the people,” and then they move on with (monkey) business as usual. This, throughout history, is what causes revolutions, friends. Soars continues the tradition, and this bogus County Board’s “Special Committee” is in the process of doing that exact same thing in White Plains right now.
