As previously reported on VIN News (http://goo.gl/1BwxfM), the NYPD closed one lane of the Lincoln Tunnel and coordinated a police escort to accommodate a visiting businessman identified as Lev Leviev. Jeremy Reichberg made the arrangements for Leviev, who was on his way to a fundraiser for Mayor Bill de Blasio.
In a letter sent today to officials at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, Cuomo called for a thorough investigation to determine if any Port Authority agents were involved in the arrangement, noting that the NYPD has no jurisdiction within the boundaries of the Lincoln Tunnel. Cuomo instructed the Port Authority to coordinate its inquiry with both the U.S. Attorney’s office and the FBI.
Cuomo warned of “immediate and severe consequences” to anyone found to have participated in the closure.
“The State of New York holds the integrity of public service to the highest standard ,” wrote Cuomo. “When those who are sanctioned to uphold the law use their position for personal gain, it threatens all of us. We will simply not allow Port Authority facilities to be chips in some nefarious pattern of deceit.”
“The lady doth protest too much, methinks” is a quotation from the 1599/1600 play Hamlet by William Shakespeare. It has been used as a figure of speech, in various phrasings, to describe someone’s too frequent and vehement attempts to convince others of some matter of which the opposite is true, thereby making themselves appear defensive and insincere.
Maybe Christie ordered the lane closed? Just a thought.
hahahaha…what a joke..where was he when Christie closed down the GW?
These privileged Yidden with their bribery schemes are going to hurt all of us, sooner than later… Don’t they teach ethics in cheder any more, or just anti-zionism?
“Naver” is not a word. Go get an education.
And I always thought that UTA was the acronym for
University of Texas at Austin.
Anything that hurts the Communist askan loving de bozo and even if it helps the corrupt Cuomo.
