The former #2 in the NYPD Licensing Division testified in a Federal sentencing document to try and get a reduced sentence, on how Trump, Trump Jr and lawyer Michael Cohen (and other wealthy people) got their rare New York City concealed carry permits. No, not through bribes...through generous donations to Police charities.
The former #2 licensing cop is being sentenced for a side gig, where not so wealthy people directly used monetary bribes to get a rare CCW permit.President Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Michael Cohen allegedly got "VIP treatment" from the New York Police Department, and it apparently helped them score gun licenses that are usually hard to come by.
That's what former NYPD Lt. Paul Dean is claiming in a federal sentencing document he filed Wednesday. The admissions come in response to Dean's guilty plea in a "gun licensing bribery scheme," and in an attempt to soften his Jan. 31 sentencing for the crime, the New York Post reports...
...Trump, Trump Jr., and Cohen got full-carry gun licenses "even though the proper credentials were not in the file because of their generous donations to the Police Athletic League or the NYC Police Foundation," the sentencing document says. Also on the list were the late Fox News CEO Roger Ailes, former Sony CEO Tommy Matola, and actor Tracy Morgan, who had a prior felony conviction.
That's something I always suspected on the way things are done in NYC.
