U.S. Attorney Hochul’s wife Kathy Hochul received from the same unions involved in this case before her husband what can only be described as game changing large cash contributions, over $250,000, and game changing support that greatly contributed to her victory in the 2011 special election for congress.
Kathy Hochul’s election to Congress and these funds greatly benefited both William and Kathy Hochul financially as a family. In fact Kathy Hochul on June 25, 2012 repaid herself $250,000 from her campaign account that was funded by this conflicted union money. These same unions that were making these payments to Kathy Hochul were at the same time highly engaged in a major case involving her U.S. Attorney husband. In fact the day prior to Hochul repaying herself the $250,000 – Local 17 paid $5,000 into that same account.
Wow, they both should be thrown out of office just for that.
Sad thing, this article is from November 3rd...These payments could explain the root cause of atypically short and long sentences observed by both the USA Today and the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle in the Hochul district. In order to determine if that is true an investigation is warranted.
The credibility of the federal justice system has been impacted as a result of these actions by the Hochuls. the credibility of the U.S. attorney;s office and the federal court system must be restored through appropriate corrective and preventive action.
