Bharara investigating de Blasio link to sale of closed hospital

From the Daily News:

U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara is looking into Mayor de Blasio’s involvement in the sale of Long Island College Hospital in Brooklyn, the Daily News has learned.

Bharara's office recently issued a subpoena to the State University of New York, which had owned the hospital, seeking all communications between the university system and City Hall regarding the sale of LICH dating to Jan. 2, 2014, when de Blasio took office, said two sources familiar with the matter.

One source close to SUNY confirmed the subpoena and said “the clear target seems to be de Blasio.” But the specifics of what Bharara is looking into were unclear.

The subpoena specifically seeks emails and other communication from de Blasio and top aides Tony Shorris, Emma Wolfe, Dominic Williams, Avi Fink and Henry Berger, the two sources said.

It also seeks all communication regarding the hospital dating to 2013 between SUNY and de Blasio’s campaign and his fundraiser Ross Offinger, as well as various groups tied to the mayor such as the Campaign For One New York, UPKNYC, and United for Affordable NYC, the sources said.

The subpoena demands emails and other communication between SUNY and de Blasio from 2013, when he was the city’s public advocate, they said.

Get Emma Wolfe, and watch her sing. She is the key intermediary and go-for for the demonic plundering of hospital and health care properties. Shorris looks like the type that will clam up to protect the party and establishment, kind of like that guy who went to jail for Barry Bonds.

I saw that big slow bag of dead dicks applauding at the DNC last night, and it made me want exercise my first, second and fourth amendment rights to shoot my TV (like Elvis once did). I am sick of seeing this corrupt turd networking, running and ruining this city and now supporting that corrupt, unqualified and unelectable douchehag. The truly messed up thing is that the laws have been skewed to protect him including the gentrification industrial complex, from the lobbyists to the predator developers.

Really these are liberals? These are the ones who are concerned for the downtrodden and unfortunate and the wage stagnated middle class?

Post-haste Preet!

What are the chances those emails see the light of day?

Move on, nothing to see here.

Jolly good show, Preet. Unmask our mayoral crook!
Too many shady pols in NYC as up in Albany.
Investigate ALL community boards, while you're at it, too!
They are the real estate industry's (REBNY) entree into our neighborhoods.
These are the fellas that ruin our quality of life.
Kudos and bravos for the fine work you've done so far!

In case you forgot, De Blasio made a show of getting himself arrested mere months prior at a protest to keep the hospital open.

Hardly. But he is the dumbest we've had in a long time, and therefore doesn't know how to conceal the corruption very well.

Pretty much anyone who runs for Mayor or Governor at this point would have my vote.
