Marty Golden's campaign boss, Ian Reilly, leads with Marty's chin --- in another massive unforced error
Some shysters named Warshaw & Bernstein let one of their guys, Russell W. Rosen, send out a “lawyers letter” to Democrat State Senate hopeful Andy Gounardes on behalf of State Senator Marty Golden’s campaign boss, Ian Reilly
Seriously ??? --- I mean >>> SERIOUSLY !!!!! <<<
WHAT’S THE BEEF ???
Well, it looks like Ian-baby found
somebody, who must have gotten his law
degree as a prize in a box of Cracker Jack(s) to call one of the solicitation
letters from a group calling itself “ANDREW
FOR NEW YORK” a defamation of Mr. Reilly
by Mr. Gounardes --- maybe I got this wrong, BUT I think that Ian Reilly, Russell W. Rosen and Warshaw & Bernstein
got this thing 100% ass backwards and upside-down.
Because there ain't no falsehood, there ain’t no lawsuit here: no libel --- no slander --- no per se --- no per quod --- no intrinsic defamation --- no extrinsic defamation --- no damages --- AND --- because everybody involved is a public figure [and involved in an election campaign] the standards of proof of malicious intent are almost impossible to attain
Let’s start with the fact that Ian Reilly’s name isn’t
mentioned in the solicitation letter,
which only says that it’s about somebody on Marty Golden’s “payroll”…..
I don’t even think that Ian Reilly technically is on any payroll of State
Senator Marty Golden’s…..
This "lawyers letter" is complete and absolute horse shit; >>> and so is the Proud Boys lovin’ Ian
Reilly, who almost single-handedly turned
out the lights of the venerable Metropolitan Republican Club forever when he
invited one of the Proud Boys’ top toughs to speak at that club and street
violence involving the Proud Boys ensued quickly thereafter outside the well-known GOP site. Besides,
even without his now close Proud Boys connection, which has been reported-on across various types of media, somebody like Ian Reilly
is unslanderable, and everybody knows it. He has no reputation that is worth
thirty-six cents ($ 0.36).
I hope that some lawyer for Mr. Gounardes, or maybe even Andy himself, replied to the Russell W. Rosen letter on
Warshaw & Bernstein letterhead with a appropriate “Dirty Harry”
response: “Go ahead, make my day”…..

Robert Morgan dad is past president of the metro Republican club and Morgan Jr set up the chairs for this event....now after Morgan loses with Saperstein he doesn't even have a club to go back to...where will the psychos go inquiring mind want to know...
If Craig Eaton was still chair maybe Morgan and Saperstein would have a chance..I just saw Craig is doing an event this weekend for Dan Donovan..he is doing more as a former chairman than the current chair
Its all Capanos fault
Gounardes win will be C apanos fault for sure
This lawyer letter was Tobman and Kassar's idiotic idea. The former is either a terrible strategist or tanking on purpose, the latter never had a clue except for threatening people.
God Bless you Chairman, Professor , Columnist, Business Executive .
I saw in social media you standing with Marc Molinaro in NYC today at the press conference calling for term limits for all elected officals..Great job!!
I saw Molinaro today talking to Capano personally for several minutes and then on his public remarks said more than any other party h3 was proud to be on the Reform Party line and urged voters to pull the lever for him there (watch it yourself on facebook/Twitter).
Wow..Capano continues to roll..amazing
Many NYC Reform candidates there, including from Bklyn..but no Saperstein, I hear he was invited.mso much for a commenter here that said Capano "abandoned" him...so much for that..when sap loses can't blame capano
Saperstein has a good chance to win but whoever helps him is only helping Steeplechase Liam, Robert, and Alexandra. Within a couple of days they’ve gone from saying that they deserve most of the credit for a Saperstein win—can’t stop laughing—to saying that they are engineering Marty’s win. Meanwhile Sap calls the district leaders begging for help.
Poor Sap

Good point..no wonder so many are stay ing awwy...smart move by them..brilliant, they insulate themselves from any blame from the loss..it's all on Morgan and team
Chairman Bob has become the biggest player since Boss Tweed
Wait. The GOP blog is against Ian Reilly and FOR Gounardes and ANTIFA?
RESPONSE: THE "IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT 'PROUD BOYS' REPUBLICANISM" EDITION
TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 8:18 PM"
IN DIRECT ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION: NO ! THIS BLOG IS NOT FOR GOUNARDES OR ANTIFA.....
ON THE OTHER HAND, IT PROBABLY IS >>> AGAINST <<< A LOT OF WHAT IAN REILLY HAS DONE WITH/FOR MARTY GOLDEN, AS WELL AS THE COLLATERAL STUFF INVOLVING THE "PROUD BOYS" GETTING THE MET REPUBLICAN CLUB FORUM AND NEGATIVE HEADLINES FOR THE ASSOCIATED VIOLENCE, BOTH DIRECTLY RESULTING FROM IAN REILLY'S CONNIVANCE IN SCHEDULING THE EVENT
The instant post by me above is pretty much focused on the stupidity reflected in the "lawyers letter" addressed to Andrew Gounardes allegeing some kind of slanderous words by Mr. Gounardes about Ian Reilly.
I made it clear that I viewed this as yet another unforced error by the Golden Campaign.
BTW, if Ian Reilly is on anybody's "payroll" --- IT SHOULD BE GOUNARDES'..... Yes, I think that Ian R has been THAT BAD for Marty G !!!!!
Chairmen Capano and Eaton continue to lead the way..God bless them
Chairmen, Professor, Columnist, Business Executive Capano:
Great job with Marc Molinaro yesterday. I saw you speaking with both him and his Lt. Gov candidate Julie Killian . I heard them say more than any other party line, they were especially proud to be on the Reform line..wow
Molinaro and Capano will lead us into 2019
Ted Ghorra was at another Conservative Party Dinner last night. The Brooklyn Conservatives have an actual office headquarters and several luncheons and dinners each year. The Brooklyn GOP occasionally rents Dom Sarta’s Office basement. The only event this year was an early morning breakfast. The Conservatives are spending money on several candidates while Ghorra is using every party resource to elect Saperstein and hopefully save his position. It wasn’t that long ago when people were criticizing Craig Eaton because at his events the rolls weren’t warm enough or the valet wasn’t fast enough. Under Ghorra the next part of this progression is going to be McDonalds and then the food carts on 86th Street. Although to be fair it would be more than Ted has done so far this year.
When Sap loses the whole thing falls in Ghorra and the Upper East Side p ychos, who will continue there 0 for streak
Not so 5:02
Craigs rolls were always toasty
Did Liam wake up from his girlfriend's mom's futon yet??????
I want to share a few things I have observed
# 1 - Robert Morgan III dirty mustache is not working. He looks like a Puerto Rican kid in 6th grade except Puerto Ricans don't wear brown courduroy jackets.
# 2 - Did the new boss of the local GOP wake up from his girlfriend's mom's futon yet??????
Here are the facts as reported by one of my top BSIs:
1) Many Reform Party candidates attended the big press event in front of Federal Hall on Wall Street Thursday. A NY1 unit was there as well as many other media folks.
2) The event was ostensibly in support of term limits, but it was also a chance for GOP Gubernatorial contender Marc Molinaro and his Lt. Gov candidate Julie Killian to strut their stuff for the entire event. Both Molinaro and Killian spoke about the virtues of the Reform Party and the benefit to their campaigns of being endorsed by the NYS Reform Party.
3) Of local interest, Brooklyn Reform Party Chairman Bob Capano introduced and spoke about the slate of Brooklyn candidates who were in attendance at the event. I should also be noted that for some reason Steve Saperstein was not there.
[A source close to the discussions told me that Capano specifically had invited Mr. Saperstein along with all the other candidates endorsed by the Reform Party in Brooklyn. For some reason best known to him, Saperstein said no.] Let nobody say that Reform Party Chairman Capano left any of his candidates in the lurch, least of all Saperstein.
Nobody should blame >>> Capano <<< if Saperstein loses. Capano has tried to weave Steve into a variety of Reform Party events, all to no avail. This recent decision to take a pass on the Wall Street event just continues a pattern of bad decisions by Steve Saperstein. After all the history of corruption in the 46th AD with the two prior assembly members in the 46th having significant criminal problems, making term limits a big deal looks like it could have been a home run issue for Steve. In addition, the Wall Street photo-op with the gubernatorial and Lieutenant Governor candidates running with Saperstein on several tickets would have been tremendous.
Good points GM 851
More bad advice from Liam and the pychos..steves decisions on who to bring aboard have cost him big time ..I even here Nicole was embarrassed by his last fundraiser with 12 people...why would Steve pass up a chance to stand with his gubernatorial candidate on an issue that is a home run for his district???? Who the hell made that call ...
Golden is really getting desperate. Andrew is really getting under his skin.
He had Cox and many others, including Kassar, Morgan, Ian and others call Cats and Cats' people to get a letter to Greeks. And someone on this blog earlier, said the letter was agreed to "two weeks" ago..guess that was a lie. The letter just went out Thursday of this week.
Was a ringing endorsement of Golden, a letter five days before the election.......
Also, I personally just received a letter from two Greeks in Bay Ridge touting Golden's experience in the Community Board as Vice Chair. The letter looked like it was drafted bt a five year old, and was a useless letter.
Golden is pulling out all the stops now...how desperate an old man he has become.
1109 am is Correct..Golden is desperate..the letter was a pro forma letter..nothing special...nothing about any personal relationship/friendship between Cats and Golden..
Cats really made Capano and Eaton look foolish..talk about throwing people under a bus
I just got a letter in the mail from Marty Golden's 3rd grade teacher
Says Marty was a very good boy and deserves a gold star
All the press covering the state senate mid terms focus on 3 or 4 races. The Golden race is not one of them. Nobody thinks Marty has a problem.
Anony at 1147. How did Cats embarrass anyone by sending a generic letter five days before the election?
Seems like it is much more embarrasing to Golden that, (a) his people had to beg and gravel to get the letter, and (b) if they were such Great Friends as Golden always says, why didnt Cats endorse him six months ago and give him a lot of $$?
1147, you need to get a reality check here.
And by the way, has anyone even gotten the letter whcih was mailed yesterday? If the Postal Serbvice is true to its reputaiton, the letter should land on Wednesday.
In Bay Ridge, people vote the candidate and not the party. The person matters in local politics. If Andrew and Max win, all credit goes to JB and he will be the King. Even if Andrew comes close and routs Marty in Bay Ridge, JB will be the King.
All the talk here about Eaton and Capano going to events with the Cat Man are meaningless now..they have put in their place by Cats for all to see if this letter is true as seems by commenters..all know Eaton hates Golden and Capano party went with Gounardes..very embarrassing to them..

MY COMMENT "... AT 8:51 AM" WAS INCOMPLETE --- IT'S MISSING ITS HEADLINE --- IT SHOULD HAVE APPEARED AS FOLLOWS:
"UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE 'VERY GOOD SHOW' EDITION
SLIWA & CAPANO KNOW HOW TO GET ON CENTER STAGE FOR REPRISES OF THEIR BIG HITS & WELL-MORE THAN FIFTEEN MINUTES OF FAME --- THE TERM LIMITS THING ON WALL STREET WAS ANOTHER OF THOSE EVENTS

Unlike some of these politicos, Sap has a job -- he's a NYC public school teacher -- and a campaign event in the middle of the day is problematic.
If Saperstein loses its all Capanos fault.
sure sounds like y'all are starting to set the table for a big bad saperstein loss
Anony at 226, you are really not that smart.
We all know that Cats doesnt really care about Golden or Ghorra and just wrote this letter for Golden because everyone begged him to, including John Flanagan who was on the Cats show on Wednesday. Flanagan specifically asked Cats to help the old man as well so Cats signed the letter Thursday.
So, by posting repeatedly on this blog lies about their relationship, will only piss Cats off more, every time he sees these lies. I personally will fax your blog post and all future bogus posts to Cats so he will see them, and then he will take it out on Golden and Ghorra, and do less for them, if that is even humanly possible.
So you see your fabrications are not only transparent, but they will soon backfire on you and Golden and Ghorra. Hope you are happy with what you have created!
Great job sir!
Saperstein been on leave from work for 3 weeks. You think he would want to stand with those reform losers? He got what he wanted - the reform ballot line after Mcreight dropped out. That’s all bob is good for.
The only logical question from all of this is why in the world would Bob Capano try to help Saperstein or anyone else help Saperstein for that matter after all his team has done to Bob
Wow 411pm called his gubernatorial candidate Marc Molinaro a "loser"...no wonder the campaign is a mess..
Saw Kings County Politics story on Frontus supporting BDS movement, now only if Saperstein campaign had enough money left for a mailing to actually inform voters...guess he is still checking the cracks of his mailbox for a Catsimatdis check..
411pm
Let's get this straight the Reform Party or "losers" as you say are good enough for your gubernatorial ticket Marc Molinaro and Julie Killian to both stand with together but not the great Saperstein????
You look silly.
Ahahahahahahahaha
What is silly is for months Eaton and Capano bragged on this blog that Golden never appeared on Cats show, now at the most important time, Golden is on it..Cats has it all over social media ..a sad day for Eaton and Capano..when Golden and Ghorra were talking to Cats this week , they just laughed about Eaton and Capano...Every one knows Eaton hates Golden and Capano party went with Andrew..guess they aren't that close with Cats after all
Another blow to Eaton and Capano ..as said for months, John and Andrea Cats with Golden ...they again made it clear with this Facebook post..
https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=262243974489797&id=200900353957493
Ethan Lustig is campaigning on the WFP line. It cant get any better for Saperstein. Smart guy this Sap. He made the right choices.
When steeplechase loses on election day we'll see about choices.
Ethan ain't campaigning, and he endorsed Frontus last week.
Sap will get about the same % as last year.
RESPONSE: THE "YOUR DESPERATION IS SHOWING" EDITION
TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID AT... 5:26 AM"
IT IS QUITE UNSEEMLY FOR YOU TO BE SO BRAGGADOCIOUS ABOUT SOME THING SO TRIVIAL AS THE CATSIMATIDIS' >>> PRO FORMA <<< FB POSTING.....
BUT THIS IS ABOUT SO MUCH MORE THAN A LACK OF GENTILE CHARM BY ONE OF MARTY GOLDEN'S "DEAD ENDERS" OR POSSIBLY EVEN DEAD END MARTY HIMSELF..... I AM QUITE FAMILIAR WITH THE TORTURED BACK-AND-FORTH SURROUNDING THE >>> ALLEGED <<< CATSIMATIDIS "ENDORSEMENT"
Nothing in the FB posting referred to by you mentions anything that either Andrea or John Catsimatidis intend to do for Marty between now and election day --- guess what; they've already finished doing it. All you got from them was a few bare biographical details about Marty and the implication that he only recently became a state senator.
Marty spent a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get this, and there was a lot of arm twisting on Golden's behalf, because it was such a "Heavy Lift"; and in the end, Marty G didn't get very much at all.
As for the Greeks --- the ones that count know the real story; just ask Charlie Cap.....
Like I said above, your over the top reaction to this not only bespeaks your lack of grace, it is a very clear "tell" that things are going badly for Marty and that you and your colleagues are grasping at straws.....
Let me spell it out for you; your comment shows that you have become very D-E-S-P-E-R-A-T-E as the 2018 campaign dwindles down to just a few days..... I wonder why !!!
347 pm (probably Bob or Craig) really show how embarrassed they are..first the commenter says what Cats did doesn't matter, then threatens to show Cats comments to prevent any further "help" down the road...so either what Cats did matters or doesn't. Can't have it both ways...Cats has come through for Golden as all knew would (except Capano and Eaton). .
Tuesday all the losers on this blog will be getting a Golden shower
A Golden shower beats letting him drive you anywhere.
How ironic that the cast that made Cats life miserable in his Mayoral race in 2013, the same one that led the vicious smear campaign against Cats and even kicked out an elected official from their office because she sensibly supported Cats over soporific Lhota, and bragged that they would end his political career before it started, now has to grovel and beg hat in hand at Cats feet. I'm told that after Ted's desperate "stalking" didn't get anyone to listen, that Cox and Flanagan had to beg Cats to let Golden on his show, telling him that he would be directly responsible if the Republicans lost the State Senate.
A little birdie told me today that Liam is already closing up the Verrazano Bridge Club and forming the Donald DeCunto Regular Club. Any truth to this rumor?
Eaton looks very bad here no matter how you slice it..
Any time a billionaire who is one of the most politically well connected people in the country consults with a trusted friend like Craig about a political decision, makes Craig a winner no matter what. It took Flanagan and Cox to beg practically in tears and all Cats did was write a letter and book him on his show two days before the election. After talking so much shit about Cats years ago, what we are getting is hysterical sighs of relief from the same crew that just a few years vowed to end his career.
Eaton Rules !!!
A PERSONAL OBSERVATION: THE "FOREST AVENUE" EDITION
I WAS OUT-AND-ABOUT AROUND 2:00 PM THIS AFTERNOON AND SAW WHAT I THOUGHT WAS THE BASE FOR A MOVIE SHOOT ON FOREST AVENUE IN STATEN ISLAND --- THIS IS WHAT IT REALLY WAS --- A RATHER LARGE SATELLITE OPERATION FOR MAX ROSE --- WHEN I ASKED SOMEBODY WHAT WAS GOING ON, I WAS TOLD THAT SEVERAL MORE OF THESE THINGS WERE HAPPENING AROUND THE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
What I saw with my own eyes was a well-organized base for a street operation and about a hundred very motivated volunteers for Max Rose.
Gale the circus you saw is rolling out of town in a few days.
Was DiBlasio with Rose?
was sap with rose?
Robert Morgan has the entire Golden operation is in turmoil. Jerrys car got towed. Morgan said he took care of the tickets and Marty is spending 75k on a victory party at the BR Manor.
Only $75,000? Marty must be cutting back. The "full buff" isn't what it used to be.
I wonder if Cats knows how much he damaged Eaton' s credibility.
Ghorra came through again for Marty.
Nice try 3:50. This might have been the last straw for Ghorra. Having shown to be completely incompetent this campaign cycle and dragging down the entire ticket, he couldn’t even get his copious calls to the Cats Family returned. John didn’t make his fortune by being a fool and knows Craig was one of the few people truly loyal to him in 2013 who actually tried to win the race.
Meanwhile Ghorra was posing for photo ops with Lhota. Those two have much in common when it comes to enthusiasm for campaigning.
People like Diane Atkins and Maureen Daly need to stop with their blind loyalty to Ghorra. They have no clue about history of Cats and Eaton and how Golden and team did everything publicly and behind scenes to hurt Cats in mayoral campaign. John C doesn't forget those things, that's why the best Golden got was a tepid endorsement a few days before the election
4:23 is spot on. Most people know very little about the heavy handed tactics (and that’s putting it mildly) used by Team Golden against Cats in 2013. Cats came within a couple hundred votes of winnng Brooklyn, his best showing after Staten Island. Back then Golden and Kassar were bragging they ended Cats political career before it began. Don’t kid yourselves, if Cats took this long to give a tepid endorsement to Golden after being lobbied by the entire New York State GOP, imagine what they did to Cats during the Mayoral contest.
The posters above have no clue about the history of the Brooklyn GOP, so Anon at 423 must be right, when they peg the posts on Daly, the red headed bimbo and Atkins, the useless and brainless BOE employee. What a crop of losers those two are. Daly who got a gig with the NYS GOP and tries to work on campaigns and steal money from the candidates and Atkins who runs around like she is a brilliant strategist who had to beg to get a job at the BOE where everyone else who works there, including "sunglass kid" Reilly is unemployable in the private sector. This ladies and gentlemen in the Brooklyn GOP Team. How scarry is that?
Trainwrecks for sure the two of them!
Craig, Bob
Be sure to check this out on Marty's Goldens Facebook ..glowing endorsement from John and Andrea
://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=262243974489797&id=200900353957493
I posted above and am not Craig or Bob. I am just a very knowledgeable individual who know where the bodies are buried.
As for the "glowing endorsement", I have seen the FB post and it is obvious it is not "glowing" and was forced. Cats only did it because or pressure place upon him.
And all intelligent people know that a weak endorsement, if you could even really call it that, only minutes before the election when they have been begging for months, really doesnt show any real support at all.
Why pick on Daly and Atkins? They are the ones who really runs the Bk GOP.
You got that right, 'cause they runs it gooder than somebody else coulds.
Must be Marty at 926. I can tell that illiterate voice anywhere.
Yeah, he went to the HS of Printing and did some time at college.
What an impressive pedigree he has. And dont forget he was the cop who lost his gun also
Cats endorsement was expected by everyone.
Golden victory is a few days away.
