How will de Blasio pay his huge legal bills?
New York Post ^ | June 4, 2017 | Post Editorial Board

Posted on 06/05/2017 2:07:50 PM PDT by HarleyLady27

Last week brought news that Mayor de Blasio owes over a quarter-million in legal bills, but the big mystery remains unchanged: How’s he going to pay it?

Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel has yet to see a dime for repping the mayor in state and federal corruption investigations. Disclosure forms he filed Friday show he went in the hole between $250,000 and $500,000 in 2016, and that doesn’t include the bills for the first quarter of 2017.

So how does de Blasio get out of this huge personal financial hole? (snip)

Of course, the council won’t want to talk about this before Election Day. But don’t be surprised to see swift action after the polls close to legalize what would essentially be another form of pay-to-play.

Some how I feel the tax payers will get this in the ars. He won’t pay a damn cent out of his pocket but somehow the pocket will have millions in it and no idea where it came from.

That’s the part the New York Post is leaving out...he can’t, he’s over a barrel, like the article said, he’ll have to sell one of his properties to pay for it himself...anything else and he’ll be ‘jail bait’...

Cuomo and this jerk think they can just do whatever they want, it’s always been that way...the only time it wasn’t was when Rudy was Mayor of New York...he cleaned up the crime and the streets and now look at it...yesterday they had ‘pig muzzies’ praying in the streets...really???

Maybe when ‘bloomy’ finds out he can’t spend the money on the Paris Accord, he’ll bail his buddy out...or maybe the Clintons, if they haven’t sold all their money into arts and gold, etc. in foreign countries, they’ll bail out their buddy...

"So how does de Blasio get out of this huge personal financial hole?"

If his handlers want him to stay in politics, *he'll* publish a "bestseller" and thereby get all the money he needs --just like so many others have done in the past. Har, maybe they'll give him a Pulitzer, too! ;)

Actually, I’d love to see DeDouchebageo stiff the lawyers. They’re no better than he is.

“How’s he going to pay it?”

Has anyone checked his freezer for cold, hard, cash? That seems to be the M.O. of Democrats, so I’d look there, first.

;)

It would be fair to say he’ll pay with OPM, just as all d’rats do. OPM = tax payer dollars.
