New York Lieutenant Gov. Brian Benjamin surrendered to authorities on Tuesday after he was indicted by federal prosecutors on charges of bribery, conspiracy, wire fraud and falsification of records.
According to prosecutors, Benjamin concocted a “scheme” to get campaign contributions in exchange for a $50,000 state grant.
The indictment also alleges that Benjamin and others worked to “cover up” the corrupt plot, engaging “in a series of lies and deception.”

The investigators also looked into whether Benjamin helped dole out state money to contributors and/or their projects as part of the alleged fraud.
Fox reports: According to the indictment, from 2019 through 2021, Benjamin carried out the scheme while he was a state senator and a candidate for state comptroller.
During that time, Benjamin allegedly solicited campaign donations from and to be raised by a real estate developer, win exchange for appropriating state funds for the developer’s non-profit organization.
In order to hide this, the indictment says, Benjamin allegedly falsified campaign donor forms, and in 2021 when he was being vetted for the lieutenant governor job, he provided falsely stated in that he had never “directly exercised” his authority as an official “concerning a matter of a donor [he] directly solicited.”
Benjamin is facing charges of bribery, conspiracy, honest services wire fraud, and falsification of records. The various offenses carry maximum penalties ranging between five and 20 years in prison.
Prosecutors are also seeking forfeiture of the funds involved or, alternatively, “any other property of the defendant up to the value of the forfeitable property.”
Damian Williams,, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York is expected to address the case at a press conference Tuesday afternoon, along with officials from the FBI and the New York City Department of Investigation.
Obviously, as usual, they used the schemes they (freemasonry) got him to comply with in order to get him a high position against him when he turned back to God and refused to serve Satan the God of freemasonry. They (freemasonry) do it to everyone (the set up), so they will have something (personal dirt or a crime) to use against them, if they do not comply with whatever orders freemasonry gives them in the future. Since it happened so long ago, and somehow it is carefully not something recently uncovered. It is so obvious that they kept that into at hand and are using it now against him. The freemasons are everywhere, Especially in the courts and in the media. The freemasons are doing what they do: They take your Head” they destroy your pubic image, when you ever refuse to serve their evil agendas and decide to leave. It is obvious because no one gets to the top positions of power, unless freemasonry allows it and gives it to them in exchange for serving freemasonry’s agendas. They (freemasons) all have dirt on them kept as leverage over them the rest of their lives, every one of them. So you know the truth, if that dirt suddenly comes out, it is because they have gotten their souls and their conscience back. This man has returned to God and has chosen to lose his head; His entire reputation and go to Jail, rather than be a servant of satan that all freemasons are required to be just to get the top positions of power. He, like Smollet (set up) . and R. Kelly (hypocrisy) and many that were murdered like Michael Jackson, should actually be applauded. But many deluded people, just believe whatever the freemasons tell them is true, because only freemasons have a voice. They control the world now. The world their agenda is turning into Hell on earth.
The entire plan is working. When WW3 starts in Italy and takes down the vatican, that is when america comes next and we will all be shocked by what their plan for america will be. It will be totally destroyed. America will burn. Satan can only win when everyone believes his lies. You all worship the antichrist=freemasonry, and serve the devil, and give him power, when you believe his lies. No one is a Supreme court Judge, who does not have real dirt on them. Who does not comply with the every demand of freemasonry. It looks like they are something they are not, when they are black and a woman, to make it look like they are not freemasons but one of you. They make it look like their is a conversation about weather or not they will get the Job. But every one of them is chosen by freemasonry, under the direction of their supreme being, Lucifer. You all have given the devil a big win, you all decide who wins, by believing the lies of the antichrist and Hate, and false condemnation and judgement is the first step towards the total loss of your souls and possession by the demons of Hell. That is what they want.
This story should really be “token black man is no longer useful to the evil powers that be, so they are getting rid of him”.
‘Turd world ppl. ‘Turd world problems. I have a brooklyn accent.
Dimwits haven’t learned that blacks destroy everything and everyone that helps them. You feed them, give them all that welfare monies in the trillions now and continually support them with your tax dollars. Give them everything free and they will still kill you, rape you, carjack your car and rob you. Hope you enjoy it because you never will wake up.
You could look at how Montezuma gave the Spanish gold and how they repaid him
You could look at the origins of actual thanksgiving. It’s not about communist nuclear family Idolatory It was the greedy e glish who went to America for rhe gold, like the Spanish on South America and Mexico, but in their greed didn’t think about bringing food and so were starving and the Indians glfelt sorry for them so fed them Think about how they’ve lied about that and twisted that into some filth that suits their propagandas. There’s lots more where they came from.
Those acts were done on just about every place on this planet at one time. I’m not saying it was right but both Montezuma and the blacks in Africa were killing their people and eating them. There are both good and evil people in all races, Just about all major countries at the time went into China and screwed them big time, especially the British. The British are the cause of today’s many problems.
Absolutely typical of all governments everywhere Lying thieving scum Low life hypocrites. The very diiriest members of the community. Always the same.
Every governor or attorney General or director General of heath or education and all presidents of law societies that have all contributed to the destruction of YRUE democracy and the creation of FASCIST corporate governments need to be on trial as traitors. All of them globally.

Meanwhile the acting inspector General of DHS and two of his colleagues, one a former employee of the postal inspector General, have been convicted of theft and fraud just yesterday, with almost zero media coverage. Typical. And Mayorakis somehow was blessed from the gods above to walk away scot free with his hands clean.
