American Thinker: A donor to the campaigns of New York City mayor Bill de Blasio testified under oath that he paid bribes to the mayor and others to receive favorable treatment from the city.
Harendra Singh, the owner of the restaurant Water’s Edge, said he steered money to de Blasio’s campaign to deal with property matters including better terms of his lease, the New York Times reports. Singh said that on many occasions they discussed his restaurant lease and donations to de Blasio in the same conversation and that they mayor was actively worked on the illegal activity.
“He made many phone calls,” Singh said about de Blasio. “His office was working very hard, from his deputy mayor to his assistant to his intergovernmental affairs person. Everyone was working.”
Singh’s testimony came during the corruption trial of former Nassau County executive Edward Mangano and former Town of Oyster Bay supervisor John Venditto. The restauranteur [sic] has pleaded guilty to bribing both of them. Mangano and Venditto are on trial for charges that include extortion, honest services fraud, and conspiracy. They may face decades in prison.
Do you hear that sucking sound? That’s the sound of de Blasio’s chances going down the toilet to become the Democratic nominee for president in 2020. read the rest
His son has retarded hair.
Marxist DeBlasio is just practicing Marxist politics, thats shocking.
DeBlasio better watch out or Joe will take him behind the Gym and beat the hell out of him if he tries to take the nomination away.
Any run down, shot-up, burned out, poverty-stricken, rat-infested city, soft on crime, chock full of corruption, rewarding cronies with public funds, establishing hostile business environments, heavily taxing the most productive citizens, setting up fat pensions for their union friends and functioning as a personal playground dedicated to nothing but pandering for votes by selling “Hope and Change” Snake-oil at every election cycle has democRAT written all over it!
Bribery? Well shit, that’s expected.
Throw a Communist like Kaiser Wilhelm into the mix and it’s guaranteed!
The corruption in these big cities is so pervasive that I don’t think people even try to stop it anymore. It’s just considered normal and that’s why guys like DeBlasio find it so easy to get elected.
With all the roaches, rats and DeBlasio’s it would be best just to incinerate the entire city and start again.
What?? A dishonest communist? Who would of thought?
Just putting taxpayer money to GOOD use – HIS! 🙄
Ah, Bill DeB! The fecal transplant donor
who just keeps on giving. And taking.
Doesn’t a “scandal” require some surprise? Some unexpected, and disapproved of, revelation? It might be a “scandal” to DeBlasio’s supporters if he doesn’t stay bribed. But taking bribes? That is the reason they support him, in the first place. That’s who his supporters are.
Au contraire; such activity is a resume’ enhancer for a Dem.
