Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren has been indicted on felony charges relating to her fundraising, Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley announced today

Donations to the mayor’s regular campaign were capped at less than $9,000. She also had a leadership PAC subject to much looser fundraising rules, but which was prohibited from directly helping her reelection efforts. Several complaints at the time alleged that this entity was in fact dedicated solely to aiding her candidacy.

The referral against de Blasio never led to charges, however, after Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance’s office concluded it would be too difficult to prove the mayor’s actions were motivated by “criminal intent” rather than a misunderstanding of the complicated election laws. That hurdle is one of the reasons why campaign finance cases are relatively rare in New York.

One month ago Friday, a monthsold video was released showing Rochester police placing a hood on Daniel Prude and pressing his face into the pavement. Prude, a Black man who was in the throes of a mental health episode at the time, ultimately died from the suffocation and the incident drew national attention, citywide protests and continued calls for Warren’s resignation.

Out of wild-assed curiosity, is Mayor Warren a Democrat?

The same thing should be happening to trump.

Notice how Politico never mentions she’s a Democrat in either the headline or the article. If she was a Republican it would have been splashed on every line.
