Mangano: Why was I indicted, but not de Blasio?
But what about Bill de Blasio?
That’s the question an indicted Long Island politician asks in a court filing that claims he’s the victim of “selective prosecution” because the feds accused him of corruption tied to a Queens restaurateur — but let the New York City mayor off the hook.
In searing court papers, ex-Nassau County executive Ed Mangano cited last week’s disclosure that the star witness against him also admitted to bribing de Blasio with tens of thousands of dollars in campaign cash.
“The new revelations in this case demonstrate: (1) that prosecutors in the Eastern District of New York had both ample evidence and authority to charge Mayor de Blasio; and (2) that they nevertheless made a choice not to pursue such charges,” defense lawyer Kevin Keating wrote.
