Mayor de Blasio wont face criminal charges related to his campaign fundraising practices, the acting US attorney in Manhattan announced Thursday.
In tandem with his federal counterpart, Manhattan DA Cy Vance Jr. also announced he wouldnt prosecute de Blasio or his team even though they violated the spirit of the election law.
Acting US Attorney Joon Kim said making a case against the mayor and his aides would have been difficult since there was no evidence of personal profit.

Of course he did. He’s a fascist commie ‘RAT. They are above the law. If this was PRESIDENT Trump, I’m sure these two shysters would have been able to find some “evidence of personal profit”.

because DeBlowzio is a fool, a commie and a pervert, which is how New York Leftists roll. Lord, but this country is sick.

This was probably settled a while back but Preet Bharara withheld the decision until he could secure a reappointment under Trump. Which didn't happen.

So I guess Preet didn’t have any case notes or anything for his replacement to work from. What was he doing all this time he claimed he was working on such a case?
To: ColdOne
When we get a new US Attorney, he or she should re-open this.

I guess this means Hillary! isn’t running for mayor. If she was, you can be damn sure that Di Blasio would have been charged with something.

He’ll be re elected. It would be nice to see him square off against cankles but I think she’ll pass.

This is an outrage! Commie criminal just walks. I just read an interesting report today, written by a think tank, about how DeDumbDumb has caused NYC schools to take a steep decline in quality. NYC needs this loser moocher criminal like it needs a hole in the head.

Corruption is another reason taxpayers and jobs are fleeing this state. Can’t wait ‘til we join them.

Cy Vance II, I gather the son of Cy (let a thousand flowers bloom) Vance, inept Secretary of State under Jimmy Carter. Cy Vance I proved conclusively that the United States could survive without a Secretary of State. m
