BLUF: [Hot Air] Now, I know what you’re thinking. Why bother? Even if they turn up anything the DoJ will just toss it into the trash anyway, the same as they did with Huma Abedin’s embezzlement charges, right? Nobody could blame you for thinking that, but in this case you just may turn out to be wrong. The reason for that is the name of the individual who kicked this thing off in the Empire State in the first place: Preet Bharara.
If you’re not familiar with Preetinder Singh "Preet" Bharara ‐ the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, centered on New York City and surrounding counties ‐ then you haven’t been following our ongoing coverage of his prosecution of numerous New York elected officials over the past few years. The man is absolutely fearless when it comes to persons of political power and maintains a reputation for the apolitical pursuit of justice generally only applied to the movie version of Eliot Ness. He’s knee deep into multiple investigations of corruption by New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio while simultaneously digging through the offices of Governor Andrew Cuomo himself, as well as the entire executive branch of state government. |
