The Silver Lining

Former long time New York Assembly speaker Sheldon Silver was convicted of criminal fraud in federal court.  It's about time!  According to the verdict, Silver ran the Assembly so as to maximize his own personal gain.  The leader of the New York State Senate is also about to go on trial.  That just leaves one member of the triumvirate that ran New York as the next target.  The third man, of course, is governor Andrew Cuomo.  We may possibly see Silver flip on Cuomo in order to get a more lenient sentence.  That would truly be the silver lining to this whole situation.
