Judge Fern Fisher has expanded the authority of District Attorney Daniel M. Donovan, Jr., in the Vito Lopez sex harassment and cover-up scandal to include the actions of attorney/politician Sheldon Silver. The special prosecutor can now explore allegations that public monies were used to cover-up crimes- a time tested scheme in New York to protect wrong-doing by insiders. It is unknown whether the Appellate Division, First Department, Departmental Disciplinary Committee has begun an ethics inquiry into attorney Sheldon Silver. Court records show: Sheldon Silver, Sheldon Silver, Esq., 700 Broadway, 8th floor, New York, New York 10003-9536 (tel: 212-558-5617); admitted to practice in New York State in 1969, and a graduate of Brooklyn Law School.
