The company de Blasio keeps

Spotted! Less than 24 hours before strolling into Manhattan’s 1st Precinct on Friday morning to finally start facing the music, there was Harvey Weinstein on page one of the more than 4,000 pages of emails Bill de Blasio finally dumped on the public of his exchanges with outside “agents of the city” that show his often angry and inept attempts to stage-manage his image, Hollywood-style.

A reporter had hoped to connect with Weinstein, one of the many bold-faced names — also including Cynthia Nixon though not Louis C.K., who would later emerged as de Blasio’s go-to Hollywood “friend” before that star’s #MeToo reckoning made him a political liability — signed on for the then new mayor’s shady new political operation promoting his push for a tax to pay for universal pre-K. It featured, as all things de Blasio seem to, an exhausting list of stage-managed validators he absurdly claimed made up a “grassroots campaign.” He didn’t get the tax, but did get a vehicle to pay people and promote himself.

Weinstein was still a New Yorker in good public standing back in 2014 — and a YUGE fundraising friend of Hillary Clinton — a year before Ambra Battilana bravely came forward. While the Daily News shared her account of his assault, she ended up smeared by the city’s other tabloid, largely ignored by the New York Times and treated more like a suspect than a victim by Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance, who’s now finally trying to charge the fallen mogul.

Vance’s decision not to charge Weinstein then — despite Battalina working with the NYPD just after her assault to catch him on tape all but admitting to it — came about two years after his decision, against the advice of his own prosecutors, not to charge Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. with a Trump Soho fraud scheme.

I can imagine a very different election in 2016 and a very different America right now if the district attorney had acted more honorably before then.

I can’t imagine a President Trump without the mostly Democratic and male-dominated and pervasively perverse and corrupt New York political environment that Trump thrived in for decades.

Days before Weinstein brought himself in, fallen “taxi king” Gene Freidman — his picture used to be in the dictionary next to “Voracious and Exploitative Capitalism,” back when he was making tens of millions on the medallions that drivers needed to barely eke out a living — pleaded guilty to fraud charges.

Freidman is an old friend and, he now says, a “passive business partner” of Trump fixer Michael Cohen. The two reportedly first met in small-claims court, just a pair of multi-millionaires recognizing a kindred soul willing to show up in person to fight the little guy for his last dime.

We’ll see if Freidman helps bring down Cohen, whose offices were raided by the FBI last month, now that he’s cut a deal with New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood to cooperate with prosecutors.

Underwood is the first woman ever to serve in one of the three big state government offices, a milestone we finally arrived at only after Eric Schneiderman — who’d charged Freidman — stepped down after multiple women said he’d abused them.

Speaking of terrible men changing the course of history, Freidman put his money behind Anthony Weiner in the 2013 mayoral race, before making up for that bad bet by backing de Blasio. The new mayor paid the (yellow) taxi king back, YUGELY, by fighting like hell against both outer-borough green cabs and Uber.

And you can’t talk shady friends without mentioning Shelly Silver, now awaiting his justly deserved prison sentence and who de Blasio called a “man of integrity” when the fallen Assembly speaker was first charged with using his public office to steal everything he could while still finding time to sleep with both the state’s highest-paid lobbyist (a former aide to Silver, anything but coincidentally) and a fellow lawmaker. Or Silver’s former top aide Michael Boxley, who, after being accused of rape and pleading to a lesser crime, had been doing just fine as a lobbyist here. (Alexis Grenell wrote for the News about Boxley’s lobbying work at the beginning of March, and his firm said last week that they had parted ways with him that month.)

There are more creeps and criminals in this town than I get words in this column, and while this mayor isn’t responsible for their actions, he has done business with an awful lot of them. It’s not just coincidence that Bill de Blasio — the man the city’s agents report to and who he’d schemed along with to cast himself as the grassroots leader of the progressive Resistance — leads the city where Donald Trump thrived.
