Senate Majority Leader Joseph L. Bruno refused Monday to add much insight into new reports on the FBI investigation into his business dealings, saying prosecutors have yet to accuse him of anything.
Asked by reporters about stories that appeared in the Times Union on Sunday, Bruno said he won't discuss matters that appear in the Capital Region daily.
However, he did not deny his acquisition of two mares from politically connected multimillionaire Earle I. Mack, as reported in one of the Times Union articles.
...
"I'm not going to comment on any story that gives credibility to the Times Union, because they have no credibility in many peoples' minds," said the Brunswick Republican.
Asked if he is confident he won't face charges in the federal probe involving him, he said: "I've said all that I'm going to say about what's been going on for over a year. I've been accused of nothing. I'm accused of nothing as we speak. And I expect to be accused of nothing, contrary to the speculation of the Times Union and people who don't want to deal in facts."
Uh huh. Just keep those fingers in your ears, Joe. It'll all go away. Best of luck with that.
