Onondaga
County District Attorney William Fitzpatrick
Easy to defeat -- and
without money.
It requires nothing more than
"whistleblowing" about the open-and-shut EVIDENCE of his corruption
as chair of the Commission to Investigate Public Corruption --
including his flagrant violation of conflict of interest rules to
financially benefit himself and his
Court of Claims judge wife by hundreds of thousands of dollars
in fraudulent pay raises.
It is EVIDENCE that brings down D.A.
Fitzpatrick and the whole edifice of public corruption that was his
obligation to expose and prosecute six years ago...
