		<description>So, DiNapoli said he was not involved. Silver said that NYS Comptroller was involved. One  side is lying. Hello, NYS Attorney General Schneiderman and Manhattan US Attorney Bharara: what&#039;s your opinion? </description>

		<description>Schneiderman has thrown Silver under the bus, too.



Per the NYT (2-29-2012):





        




On Wednesday night, Mr. Schneiderman’s office released new details about
 its contacts with the Assembly, saying one of its staff lawyers had 
consulted several times with a top Assembly lawyer over more than a 
week, and even provided a model agreement used by the attorney general’s
 office as a template for a variety of claims brought by state 
employees.




        




The Assembly’s settlement agreement in the Lopez matter, however, was 
quite different from the model provided by the attorney general’s 
office, and did not include a confidentiality clause. Aides to Mr. 
Schneiderman said they did not enter into secret settlements when 
handling litigation against the state and did not view a sexual 
harassment case as a compelling exception




        




James Freedland, a spokesman for Mr. Schneiderman, said the staff lawyer
 had reviewed only drafts of the agreement and did not see the final 
settlement. Mr. Freeland said in a statement that the model agreement 
“included neither a confidentiality agreement nor any monetary terms.




  
      




“The office of the attorney general did not represent the Assembly in 
its internal employment dispute and had no role in approving, 
negotiating or authorizing any settlement reached by the Assembly,” he 
added.        




Mr. Schneiderman himself was never told of the matter, one of his aides said.
