Mayor Bill de Blasio on Friday took the extraordinary step of firing his embattled investigations commissioner, Mark G. Peters, the culmination of a fierce rivalry between the two powerful men.
It was a rare and consequential action by a mayor to remove an investigations commissioner: The position is understood to come with a large degree of independence that allows impartial scrutiny of all areas of government, including the executive branch.

Hmmm . . . an abuse of power by an “independent investigator”. Imagine that!

If there is a bottom level of hypocrisy, de blasio and his fellow left wing nuts are way past it.

The mayor had cost the taxpayers over $11 million in legal fees several years ago.

He (the investigator) must have found something on DeBlasio.

Andrew Cuomo did the same thing when the investigations got too close to home.

Trump should have a press conference. Leak that it is someone higher up in the administration that is getting the axe. Then on national TV, announce Mueller and Rosenstein have been fired for abusing their authority. Make sure Trump gives a big shout out to Cuomo and DeBlahBlah.
