Yeah, sure, Mr. De Blasio, they deserve due process all right. But where's the due process for Suzannah B. Troy? Your administration along with top bosses in the NYPD buried her when she tried to get justice after being viciously attacked by a doctor's receptionist. The doctor has a big hook in city hall and the NYPD. Cry me a river. You're a one-term mayor. You might even get impeached if Preet Bharara finds out you also had your hand in the cookie jar.

Monday, April 18th:
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – There’s been an arrest as a result of the FBI probe into the NYPD.
Alex “Shaya” Lichtenstein of Brooklyn was arrested today.
Lichtenstein is accused of paying a bribe to members of the NYPD for gun permits.
Lichtenstein allegedly said he had gotten more than 150 gun licenses through his license division connections, according to the complaint.

According to the complaint, Lichtenstein was a member of the Borough Park Shmorim, a volunteer Orthodox Jewish patrol.
Lichtenstien allegedly offered to pay $6,000 per gun license, according to the complaint.
“I want to repeat myself, I’m not bribing you,” Lichtenstein allegedly told an officer who was wearing a wire.
“Shaya, I’m not an a******, of course you’re bribing me,” the officer replied. “Let’s be frank and honest here.”
In addition to the arrest, three NYPD officers who were part of the division that processes gun licenses, faced administrative charges related to the widening probe.
Deputy Inspector Michael Endall was transferred from the license division and is being reassigned to an administrative position pending further review, the NYPD said. Sgt. David Villanueva and Police Officer Richard Ochetal were placed on modified assignment and transferred. They also worked in the license division.
Asked about today’s arrest, Mayor Bill de Blasio told CBS2’s Dick Brennan “I don’t know anything about it.”
That brings the total number of officers reassigned or disciplined in the widening investigation to nine.
The federal probe is looking into whether police officers accepted gifts from businessmen with ties to Mayor Bill de Blasio.
Last week, Deputy Chief Andrew Capul was moved to an administrative position pending further review. Earlier this month, Bratton removed four of the NYPD’s most senior men, and two of them lost their guns and badges. A detective who took the Fifth Amendment before a grand jury also lost his gun and badge.
The probe has centered on two businessmen who have ties to de Blasio’s campaign. Jeremy Reichberg and Jona Rechnitz both served on de Blasio’s inaugural committee and either donated or raised money for him.
Mayor Bill de Blasio previously said he was not happy with the expanding number of peoplecaught in the investigative web.
“Those individuals – I’m not going to prejudge them; they deserve due process – but anyone who accepts personal gifts in the year 2016 is not paying attention to today’s ethics standards or the ethics training I’m sure they were given along the way, or didn’t have the wisdom to consult with a lawyer,” de Blasio said.
De Blasio has also downplayed his relationship with Reichberg and Rechnitz.
“In terms of these two individuals, as I’ve said, I met them around the time of the general election; had not known them previously,” de Blasio said. “I have spent very little time with them in the scheme of things, and not much at all in the last year.”
The mayor has said he has not accepted money from them for his re-election.
“I hold myself and my administration to the highest standard of integrity,” de Blasio said. “We are very, very careful about doing things in a legal and appropriate manner. We’re very, very careful about disclosing the support we get. We disclose everything, and we welcome questions about it.”
CBS2’s Marcia Kramer reported that Barry Berke, the attorney who represented former NYPD Commissioner Bernard Kerik in his federal corruption case, is now representing Mayor de Blasio in the campaign fundraising investigation.
