"...the grounds on which de Blasio is operating becomes clearer. 
It all stems from the corruption cloud that has long engulfed his mayoral administration. 
People might not even remember (if they ever knew in the first place) that he ended up embroiled in serious legal jeopardy for much of his tenure in office. 
...There were two simultaneous investigations happening at the time; both federal and state. 
...Really, all of this just scratches the surface – more corruption-related leaks are destined to surface in short order. 
...All of this gets to the fundamental corruption at the heart of the American presidential election system: it’s become a racket, effectively a jobs program for useless consultants. 
What with the hyper-politicization observed during the Trump era, even the most hopeless candidate at least has a shot to raise significant sums and blow it on sleazy operatives promising that they alone possess the tools to successfully bolster the candidate’s image on TV and the web. 
...In de Blasio’s case, his city-based fundraising operation has already been basically shuttered by the cops, so why not take that same approach to the national stage and see who bites. 
It’s too tempting to pass up, especially if you’re operating with boundless hubris to begin with. 
Reach for the stars, Bill!"
