A Call From the Prosecutor and the FBI Agent who have NOT YET Indicted Ratner although they have Evidence in Hand.

Fightin' Freddys

Only a boondoggle as crazy as Atlantic Yards could yield twists and turns as crazy as those taking place as the Fightin' Freddys pursue justice.

BREAKING NEWS - CALL-A-THON GENERATES FIRST CALL FROM FEDS...
In a conference call between the F.B.I., the U.S. Southern District Court, and a co-organizer of yesterday's attempted Citizen's Arrest of Billionaire Bruce Ratner, initiated at 5:03 p.m. on Thursday, January 28, Jason Halpernin, Assistant U.S. Attorney, Southern District of New York and Michael Mazzuca, FBI Special Agent confirmed they had evidence of an alleged bribe paid... to former Yonkers City Council member Sandy Annabi.
...

The conversation lasted approximately 6 minutes. The Federal Attorney and the Special Agent informed Mr. de Seve that they were calling because the New York State Attorney General's Office had called to inform them that de Seve had evidence or information with a bearing on the bribery case.

"'I do,' I told them. Mr. Ratner has exhibited sociopathic behavior in closing the Pacific Dean Family Homeless Shelter in the middle of Winter. Locking away from use beds and a roof for up to 80 homeless families. When families come knocking at the door of the shelter to find a warm bed for their children, they will find that door locked."

"I also informed them," de Seve continued, "that the Southern District Court's delay in indicting Mr. Ratner, when they had evidence in hand, could cause an incorrect judgment to be reached Friday morning in New York State Supreme Court, by depriving Judge Abraham Gerges of having a clear view of one of the parties in the Eminent Domain case he would be ruling on."
...

De Seve also informed the callers that he believes the delay to be politically motivated, since Mr. Ratner is a campaign contributor to New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, who has also not acted in a timely manner to indict the Billionaire.
...

Beyond introducing himself, Special Agent Mazzuca, the person in charge of the FBI investigation of the Ratner/Annabi alleged bribe, said nothing.

"G. Gordon Liddy would have been proud of how he conducted himself. He was a rock. And said exactly as much as a rock would say."
