http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2017/10/bernie_sanders_jumps_in_the_mud_with_corrupt_ny_mayor_bill_de_blasio.htmlRunning from packs of ravenous reporters, leftist New York Mayor Bill de Blasio has a big corruption problem, a problem so big in fact that even the media isn't sleeping through it. According to the New York Post, de Blasio and his police department were bought off by a campaign donor for a mere $160,000 in a brazen pay-to-play cash scheme.
According to the Post:
“We’re going to become significant contributors, but we want access,” Jona Rechnitz, 34, testified telling de Blasio fundraiser Ross Offinger after Hizzoner clinched the Democratic nod for mayor in 2013.
De Blasio soon paid Rechnitz a visit in his office, the disgraced businessman told jurors in Manhattan federal court.
and
Explosive new court documents accuse Jona Rechnitz — a Bill de Blasio donor and the fed’s key witness against two NYPD cops and ex-union official Norman Seabrook — of threatening “to go to the feds” over a scheme he was wrapped up in unless one of his wealthy friends got paid.
