NEW YORK (VFB) — Yesterday, a Hillary Clinton superdelegate who recently resigned from his elite DNC position was hit with a 12-year prison sentence for public corruption.

Sheldon Silver, a well-connected and notoriously corrupt New York politician, was convicted by jurors last November of selling his office for financial kickbacks and sexual favors.

Interestingly, Hillary Clinton and Sheldon Silver have been close allies since before she entered politics.

Clinton has long credited Silver with persuading her to pursue a political career.

In 1999, Silver met privately with the then-first lady at the White House, where “he encouraged [her] to seriously consider being a candidate for the Senate seat being vacated.”

I suppose she will miss his support.
