re: #12 lawhawk
FBI, NYPD, SDNY, and the Sergeant’s Benevolent Association are all quiet. Even their union boss had no comment, which means it’s quite serious and knows it’s a big deal when the FBI comes calling.
My guess? Corruption, embezzling funds, followed way down the list by right wing domestic terrorist links within the NYPD as outgrowth of the 1/6 investigations.
SDNY would have jurisdiction here, so it’d be interesting to see which unit is involved - that would be a tell. My guess would be public corruption (embezzlement).
My guess as well: even SDNY prosecutors tend to steer clear of the NYPD unless it’s some clear issue- like money (embezzlement, etc.): unless there is some egregious incident, they don’t seem to get involved in the strictly “political” end of things.
Though maybe 1/6 may prove an exception….
