Can someone please explain: How can the FBI be investigating de Blasio and not the Clintons?

[Skwmom]

AND what was the timing of this investigation in relation to his endorsement of Clinton?

I am really puzzled by this. And I am sure I am not the only one.


FBI questioning businessmen about how Mayor de Blasio raises money

LOWER MANHATTAN (WABC) --

Mayor Bill de Blasio can expect more tough questions Monday about the fundraising corruption investigation being carried out by the FBI and the U.S. Attorney.

"We are very careful about doing things in a legal and appropriate manner. We're very, very careful about disclosing the support we get," Mayor Bill de Blasio said.

Well, some of that support came from Jeremy Reichberg and Jona Rechnitz, a pair of Brooklyn businessmen now under investigation amid allegations of payoffs to police and possibly others.

"I met them around the time of the general election, had not known them previously, spent very little time with the in the grand scheme of things and not at all in the last year," Mayor de Blasio said.

But investigators are combing through the mayor's 2013 campaign records to see how money was solicited from the Brooklyn business community and if any individuals benefitted, even as they look into the actions of four NYPD commanders from Brooklyn South to see if they may have traded special treatment for cash or gifts.

1. Pose a question in the direction one wants to go.

Attach an article that has very little to do with the question and has no true connection as to the point of the question. Leave it at that.

A whole news channel bases their reporting off of your style here. They call it "We Report, You Decide".

2. B.S. It is a very valid question.

[NCTraveler]

4. No, it's not. Hence the reason you had to present it in the manner you did.

You determination of validity is based off your wishes.

3. The outrage won't just make itself ... some one has to help it along.

[Avalon Sparks]

5. I call it...

My impression is most of the establishment candidate supporters have no interest in learning about candidates taking money from....well....anyone really.

Influence money might not be of a concern, there are more important things to consider, like "she has more delegates so she is the best candidate" and "Popegate" ....

6. I take a lot more into account than the black and white vision you portray here. nt.

[Avalon Sparks]

7. Fair enough...

It was a generalization, and an opinion.

[NCTraveler]

8. Understood and thank you for the reply. nt.

[Avalon Sparks]

9. You too!

Have a nice week!

[Skwmom]

10. Is there no one who can answer this question?

[WhenTheLeveeBreaks]

12. I can answer this question

The FBI is investigating the Clintons.

I'm a little surprised that you haven't heard of it.

[Skwmom]

13. But we are constantly told it is just about the emails and security.

[WhenTheLeveeBreaks]

15. If you think what's happening is a "security review"

I have 2 suggestions

1) Develop a keener sense of BS
2) Turn to media sources that you normally don't frequent.

11. they are lawyers

and very good at sticking within the limits of the law

[Skwmom]

14. Looking at all that money flying around if they were within the limits of the law

our laws need a MAJOR overhaul.

[JoePhilly]

16. no evidence of a crime.

That was easy.
