Prominent Queens politicians Malcolm Smith and Dan Halloran were arrested early Tuesday for attempting to rig this year’s mayoral election.
According to Huffington Post:
Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation took State Senator Smith and City Councilman Halloran into custody at their homes about 6 a.m.
Halloran told a reporter outside his home that he “had no idea” why he was being arrested, the NY Post reported.
“I’m sure the truth will come out once I have an opportunity to find out what’s going on,” Halloran added.
The pair are said to have formed an alliance to place Smith, a Democrat who represents Queens Village, St. Albans and Jamaica, onto the Republican mayoral ballot by enlisting the support of major GOP leaders through bribes.

The bribes were masked as legal and accounting services.
Damn! This just goes to show what you do in the dark will come out in the light!
