A former leader in the Orange County, New York prosecutor’s office, who was facing allegations of accepting bribery payments, died in a shooting at his home Tuesday morning as the FBI arrived to arrest him, sources familiar with the matter tell NBC New York.

Stewart Rosenwasser, the ex-chief counsel to the Orange County DA’s office and executive assistant district attorney, was accused of using his authority in the prosecutors’ office to initiate a criminal investigation at the request of a millionaire former restaurant owner, according to the unsealed federal indictment.

    You should look at how cheap it is to buy someone in Congress. It’s shockingly low.

      I know that’s why I commented. Every time you see bribery it’s “well they bought me a sandwich”
