The Daily News reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“… A disgraced ex-NYPD lieutenant facing sentencing for bribery conspiracy has spilled the beans on the depth of alleged corruption in the department\u2019s License Division … Former Lt. Paul Dean says in papers filed in Manhattan Federal Court Wednesday that a culture of corruption within the division responsible for processing city gun permits was enabled by former Commissioner Bill Bratton<\/a>, among others …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Sullivan Act<\/a> was designed to do this<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“… Dean details a litany of favors for powerful people by his supervisor, former Deputy Inspector Mike Endall. Dean says that Endall was acting at the behest of Bratton. Among the alleged favors: Endall allowed Donald Trump Sr.<\/a>, Attorney Michael Cohen<\/a>, Donald Trump Jr<\/a>, to obtain full carry gun licenses even though the proper credentials allegedly were not in the file because of their generous donations to the Police Athletic League<\/a> or the NYC Police Foundation<\/a> …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Greasing the wheels of justice.<\/p>\n

“… Gun licenses were approved for John Catsimatidis<\/a>, Former SONY CEO Thomas Mottola<\/a>, Morgan Stanley CEO John Mack<\/a>, Estee Lauder\u2019s Ronald Lauder<\/a>, late Fox News CEO Roger Ailes<\/a> and Sean Hannity<\/a> despite them allegedly not meeting qualifications …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Those qualifications being spreading enough cash around to the right people.<\/p>\n

“… A gun license for actor Tracy Morgan<\/a> despite him having a prior felony conviction …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He’s not the only one.<\/p>\n

This would not have happened if New York and especially New York City were right-to-carry.\u00a0 Don’t expect any local media outlets to bring that fact up.<\/p>\n

God bless Tammany Hall<\/a>.<\/p>\n
