Right now de Blasio is not implicated. But who knows.

It does seem like there are some strange characters involved in that mess.

who works in a federal agency that works with the city. My friend says DeBlasio is just another pol.

In the situation my friend is in, DeBlasio has had the opportunity to take federal money and make things right for people who badly need it. DeB' hasn't done it.
