Tammany Hall Never Sleeps. DeBlasio’s No Comment. Harry Siegel, NYDN. John Tamny, IDB. Jed Babbin, Washington Times. Christopher Koopman, Mercatus Center.

“The bad news has been snowballing for Bill de Blasio, what with the emergence of a federal probe involving, among other things, top cops in Brooklyn accepting diamonds, trips and more from two big donors to various appendages of his political operation and what’s now four separate investigations into a city-aided flip, again involving a wired backer of the mayor, of a Lower East Side nursing home for AIDS patients into luxury condos.

I wrote last Sunday that “after this week, I’m losing faith that de Blasio’s horse trading is paying off for the city.” And it appears I’m not the only one.

“Ace New York corruption buster Preet Bharara, fresh off turning two of Albany’s three men in a room into convicted felons (and exposing one of them, former Assembly Speaker and de Blasio ally Shelly Silver, as an adulterer who had one mistress who was a major Albany lobbyist and another who he helped get a state job), is now reportedly looking into these messes and their links to the mayor’s 2013 campaign.
