Following weekend revelations that New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG) website is registered to a New York City government server and apparently administered by city employees, a Bellevue-based gun rights group wants New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman to investigate.
CBS News, Politico and others learned about the MAIG website registration and Monday morning, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms called on Schneiderman to determine whether any laws have been broken. Gottlieb told Examiner that using taxpayer-owned computer servers to host a website for a politically-motivated gun control group is “pretty tacky.”
In a press release, Gottlieb observed, “On top of everything else that has been revealed in recent days about Bloomberg’s MAIG group padding lists of so-called ‘gun victims’ with the names of criminals and a terrorist bombing suspect, this new discovery is an outrage that demands a criminal investigation.”
He was alluding to MAIG’s inclusion last week of the names of dead murder and terrorism suspects, including alleged Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev, to a list of “gun crime victims” that is being read during a 25-state, 100-day bus tour launched by the group. MAIG has apologized, but not before having to wipe political egg from its face.

If these allegations are true, Bloomberg is guilty of misuse of public funds, abuse of public authority and probably a few other charges as well, but I am not familiar with New York law.
any NYAG of the current state regime is not going to investigate an anti gun mayor of NYC. they have a just as big an anti gunner for Governor of NY State. and especially as the NYAG, Eric Schneiderman, is an elected liberal Dhimmicrat.
Who was the last billionaire that went to jail? Buehler? Buehler?
Headline caused a double take. Bellevue is the large psychiatric hospital in NYC. “Bellevue” has become the vernacular for a 72 hour psych hold..
That would be appropriate, too.
