NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio’s fate may rest with the Sessions Justice Department
American Thinker ^ | 12/07/2016 | Thomas Lifson

An ongoing investigation by the highly respected U.S. attorney for Southern New York, Preet Bharara, apparently is targeting the top levels at City Hall, and there are reasons to expect that if a case is brought, it will be under the leadership Jeff Sessions, President-Elect Trump’s designee for attorney general.

Michael Goodman of the New York Post reports on some serious clouds on the leftist mayor’s horizon, as the mayor desperately tries to hide emails that have been subpoenaed:

Mayor de Blasio, calling questions about his shady dealings with political consultants and lobbyists a “distraction,” says from now on. he will release all his e-mail exchanges with them — even as he fights to keep his past exchanges secret.

“New ground rules now,” he said breezily on NY1, which, along with The Post, is suing him to get those past exchanges.

You’d have to have been born yesterday to not see through his ruse. There must be something so damaging in those existing e-mails that de Blasio is willing to make a fool of himself to hide it. The public would be foolish to let him succeed.

By public, I include Manhattan US attorney Preet Bharara.

He can end this charade and answer the explosive question of whether the mayor sold government favors to the lobbyists’ clients and other donors in exchange for campaign contributions and other things of value.

The time for Bharara’s answer is short because his investigation has been long. It is nearly 2 years old, and its focus on fund-raising reportedly involves some events that happened before the mayor took office on Jan. 1, 2014.

Indeed, a case must be brought before de Blasio’s election is too close.

A bit OT but will the NYPD ever make public the contents of Weiner’s laptop and the criminal acts of Weiner AND “others” involved?

Bharara and Sessions need to find out what DeBlasio's wife is doing w/ the millions of tax dollars in the "Mayor's Fund".

After being elected, Blobbio gave his wife control of the fund......what's she doing w/ millions of tax dollars?

NYC taxpayers are financing two DeBlobbio cronies----at a cost of $200,000 and $125,000 respectively .... supposed to be "helping" Mrs DeBlobbio supposedly giveaway money from the multi-million dollar "Mayor's Fund for New York."

LOOK INTO THIS---The De Blobbio's and the Clintons are best friends. (a) Did The Clinton Foundation (b) or her campaign get a donation from The Mayor's Fund? (c) Did tax cheat Al Sharpton's "charity" get a chunk?

=============================================

THE ODD COUPLE---BLOBBIO DESCRIBES HER AS HIS "NUMBER ONE ADVISOR" Insider buzz is that Blobbio is ruled by his wife---that the two work hand in hand to make public policy decisions.----Earlier news reports say Police Commissioner Bratton cautioned DeBlob not to bring his wife to the crucial meeting held to redress grievances of five cop unions Blobbio had slandered.

RESUME ENHANCEMENT PROGRESSIVE-STYLE During DeBlobbio's campaign, his wife Chirlane I. McCray was billed as a writer, poet, editor, communications professional, and political figure who published poetry and worked in politics for the Clintons.

THE REAL STORY Mrs DeBlobbio loudly declared her lesbianism in a magazine article---she was in a black feminist lesbian group and wrote poetry about being a lesbian. Politicker noted her husband's campaign website doesn't reference her background as an avowed lesbian and a lesbian activist or lesbian poet: It notes her affiliation with the Combahee River Collective, omitting mention of the group’s lesbian roots, referencing it as "a pioneering black feminist collective."

The two met while both worked for the Dinkins campaign. She says she had a nose ring and wore African garb when he spotted her and was completely smitten. She never told him she was a lesbian. And later said after their marriage she was still attracted to women. During the mayoral campaign, she was asked about her lesbian lifestyle----she retorted she "didn't understand the question." The Blobbio's honeymooned in Communist Cuba and picked coffee beans w/ Sandinistas (then America's arch-enemies).

The New York Post ran a cartoon depicting the couple in bed, McCray on the phone telling someone, "I used to be a lesbian, but my husband, Bill de Blasio, won me over," while her husband lay beside her clad in sexy lingerie.

Sessions looks so sweet and mild. I’m looking forward to his works in the Trump admin. Hope he is a baby-faced killer.

Yes, Sessions is sweet and mild until he gets riled. He is tough and relentless when he needs to be. He has been standing up to the amnesty crowd for years. That’s why he got on the Trump train early on.
