I’m late getting to this, but there’s been a lot of other news. Bill de Blasio faces questions over his apparent pay-for-play. From The New York Times’ July 24 article, a sample:
Less than six months after Bill de Blasio became mayor of New York City, a campaign donor buttonholed him at an event in Manhattan. The donor, Harendra Singh, one of the earliest contributors to his mayoral campaign, ran a restaurant on city property and was having problems with the lease. Could the mayor help him?
That encounter, on June 3, 2014, set the wheels of government turning in an extraordinary way on behalf of Mr. Singh. City officials at the highest levels became involved, ultimately drawing the interest of federal investigators focused on what they saw as a pattern of trading favors for campaign contributions…
Allegedly, de Blasio’s behavior extended to retaliatory firing of whisteblowers. Both the Manhattan and U.S. attorneys investigated in 2016, and it’s unclear why de Blasio wasn’t charged. (Preet Bharara, anyone?)
The fun bit was when de Blasio read a book to a bunch of kids, Secret Pizza Party. By example, the story encourages kids to steal things, keep it secret, and have secret parties that they don’t tell grownups about. Right up his alley.
I digress now, but it’s even creepier that the book tells kids, โWhen you make something secret, you make it special,โ a line straight out of Pedophile 101. I mean, don’t get me started on Jacob Schwartz, who was a top de Blasio staffer.
The guy that was in charge of IT support for the Democrat Caucus is arrested at Dulles airport trying to flee the country after wiring a quarter million dollars to Pakistant. Democrats claim it’s a nothing burger, but the guy has one of Bill and Hillary’s personal lawyers representing him. And the Democrats are demanding the FBI turn over the hard drives that were taken as evidence.
The Democrat Media Complex is ignoring this story.
V, feel free to post on it ๐ I did a couple days ago; the story may need a fresh take from you.
de Blasio has shown that machine politics is still viable. Of course, the Clintoons, Obama, Holder, Lynch and the entire DemonizingRat war room was opened to saving him from himself.
New York could slip back to the Chicago level of corruption and filth without it making an iota of difference to the machine politics corruptocrats.
As to V the K’s comments, I imagine that the Awan crowd might be on the look out for sudden suicide by two shots to the back of the head. “Arkicide” is what they call it. Those DNC computers and Debby Blabbermouth Schultz’ computer problems and Huma’s Weiner computer problem and Hillary’s private server crapola could possibly be a noticeable coinkydink honeypot. Time for Lanny Davis to ‘splain how everything points to yet another vast rightwing conspiracy.
A NY politician who’s corrupt? Next you will tell me that water’s “wet”…
