After a successful attack on corruption in New York’s state government, the hard-charging federal prosecutor in Manhattan appears to have set his sights on New York City.

Over the past few weeks, a series of loosely related public corruption investigations coordinated by U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara have spilled into public view, with targets including high-ranking New York Police Department officials, the union representing city jail guards, and the political fundraising activities of several people with ties to New York City’s mayor.

Already an embarrassment to the nation’s largest police department, it remains unclear whether the widening probes could do damage to City Hall. …

New York values.

It has nothing to do with the people of NY. Watch what you obviously are trying to do.

Trump for President.

[Michael.SF.]

Sounds like Preet should be the one assigned the Clinton Case for prosecution.

The people of New York City elected them.

Note: I am in favor of Trump.

The stench reaches all the way to the top of the feeding chain. or is it the bottom of the cesspool? No matter, NY City gubamint at its finest.. who needs the MOb anymore , politicans are a lot cheaper to buy and sell.

Corruption in NY City Hall? Did you ever!

[RicocheT]

Preet has taken on Wall Street a few times, some wins, some loses. I think if he tries to mess with the NYC Democrat machine and the mayor, Preet may have a nasty fall out a window or fall off a pier.

Otherwise known as “Boss Turd”.

[T-Bone Texan]

Curious: why is there even a U.S. Attorney namec “Preet Bharara”?

Did we run out of competent Americans?

Look at who the people of Noo Yawk have voted for and their collective stance on every major issue. The values of New York (my home state) are adequately reflected in the politicians they elect. Note the New York Pig Department is involved in this particular scandal.
