NY politician Victor Tabone claimed he was too drunk to recognize that the briefcase filled with $20,000 he accepted in the back of an SUV was a bribe. He stated that the 6 or 7 vodka tonics he had at dinner made him think that the bribe was actually a contract to hire him as a political consultant.
As part of an undercover FBI sting operation, Tabone was one of 3 other politicians caught in the bribery scheme.
How lame is this, did he think that the “consulting” job paid cash up front?? so was he gonna claim taxes on his cash income… way to many punch lines for this joke… Heads up… it was a Bribe.
Idiot.

LET IT GO. IF IT WORKS FOR HIM IT OPENS UP A WHOLE NEW BATCH OF POSSIBILITIES FOR DEFENCE.
I’m sure he did take the bribe but the FBI is just as corrupt. This “Operation” is to make it look like they’re still doing their jobs. They’re not and 3 busted, VERY low level politicians is not going to convince me otherwise. Now if they took down Obama and his Cabinet……..
Too stupid not too drunk
He took the bribe using alcohol as a excuse
That’s the best this moron could come up with please.
TOO BAD.
and it make it any less offensive ?
