From the NY Times:
A wide-ranging federal corruption investigation centered on two businessmen with ties to Mayor Bill de Blasio is also examining some aspects of his campaign fund-raising, a person with knowledge of the matter said on Friday.
The investigation, which in recent days has garnered attention because the focus on the two businessmen led federal agents to interview roughly 20 senior New York Police Department officials, has for some time been examining the ways the businessmen wielded influence in New York City government, several people briefed on the matter said.
That examination has included an aggressive review of Mr. de Blasio’s campaign fund-raising, the person with knowledge of the matter said. The investigation’s focus on Mr. de Blasio’s fund-raising was reported on Friday night by WCBS-TV News.
It was unclear what specific aspect of the mayor’s fund-raising was under scrutiny and how it related to the conduct of the two businessmen.
This may shock you. but developers and lobbyists are involved!

So now we know why the police commissioner and the mayor have become good friends of late. Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.
Funny how the Campaign for One NY ,one of DA Blas slush funds, was suddenly terminated last month because it's "work was done". Da Blas and the Commissioner just threw 4 top ranking Cops under the bus yesterday as a sacrificial offering. Let us hope this is just a sign of things to come.
Sorry for being macabre here, but I have the sinking feeling that this is the start of the downward spiral of our duplicitous, stupid and corrupt mayor.
It might even lead to his suicide, going by hereditary conditions.
Bratton didn't do enough, since these swine are lounging by their desks when they should be in the tombs.
I eagerly await, as I'm sure everyone who is having stress finding a decent apt.,for the feds going after REBNY next.
Oh is he still mayor? I would not have known that we had a mayor at all by the way the new york shitty looks!
And the scheme for one new york-not funny at all. That was done with extreme hubris and impunity. It's not just the mayor who is mentally ill, although every one of these feral greedheads, from appointed deputy mayors with ties to wall street, the legion of REBNY to certain higher ups in the NYPD are borderline sociopaths.
Remember when Mayor Big Slow went to the vatican and the Pope blew him off?...
About Time!
Now thats what I want to hear...Woo-Hoo !!
Can someone clarify?
If they resign do they get to keep their pension even if they are indicted/convicted?
The mayor is too big a cog in the political machine therfore untouchable just like Hillary

Music to our ears!
Please don't stop Mr. Bharara!
Come to Queens, Flushing, Bayside, Astoria and start cleaning up the corrupt gangsters who are posing as politicians.
You'll be surprised what you find!
These fraudsters are breaking the laws to the detriment of the community for decades!
I know you get some of your tips via the public.
This blog is unparalleled when it comes to tips and good information.

Don't be sorry! :):)
So the huge increase for the members of City Council....was that hush money?
Or to keep voting a certain way?
Maybe change deed restrictions and mock about with zoning laws?
$72 million goes a long way.
Just asking...
Good old Tammany Hall looks like a bunch of choir boys and girls compared to these criminals.
Lock up DiBlasio! I would pay to see that one, and take the idiot city council along with him.
I can't believe that out pot smoking mayor is corrupt - pure science fiction. All Sesame Street characters are innocent.
Run BrainlessASSio out of town with his taxpayer-money-wasting Muzzie supporting crap wife and druggie daughter. Make sure he can't get within a mile of any elected position or any public monies. Best yet, lock him up for a very long time. He's turned NYC into a festering craphole, selling off choice public lands to his RE masters, not giving a backward thought to turning NYC into one big paved over wasteland, devoid of greenspaces. And don't forget the $500,000 allocated by his NON-ELECTED WIFE to support a Muzzie group or her $350,000 staff, for her to do nothing the public sanctioned.
de Blasio is a novice when it comes to thieving money, not nearly as slick as Cuomo, maybe this time we will get charges out of the investigating.
Do the Feds have to give an immunity pass to the businessmen to testify, as they did in the Silver and Skelos cases?
Be sure to look into the shell companies that Lemle & Wolff manage- 95-01 LLC is one of them. Castle Properties is another. Lets hope the investigators know to look on the comments at Queens Crap.
