Bill’s donor: Is my phone being tapped?

Panicked and lying to seemingly everyone, a corrupt Mayor de Blasio donor was caught on a wiretap being assured there was a “close to zero chance” the feds were listening to his calls.

The embarrassing May 2015 call between government witness Jona Rechnitz, his real estate developer dad Robert Rechnitz and attorney Marc Harris captured Jona as federal investigators closed in.

At the time, Rechnitz had been questioned by NYPD Internal Affairs about his connections to Hamlet Peralta, a Harlem restaurateur later convicted of running a $12 million Ponzi scheme. Rechnitz had recruited investors for Peralta. Both men had close ties to cops.

Federal investigators were circling — but Rechnitz had not told his dad or Harris about the extent of his many crimes. He is testifying against his former friend, Brooklyn businessman Jeremy Reichberg, who is accused of bribing cops. Ex-Deputy Inspector James Grant is also on trial for accepting bribes from Reichberg.

“If they’re reading my email . . . does that mean they’re reading my texts, they’re tapping my phone?” a stammering Rechnitz asked Harris in the wiretap played in court.

“No . . . I’m not positive, but that is extremely unlikely. Extremely unlikely that they have a wire . . . . Now it’s not a bad idea to conduct yourself as if they were listening,” Harris replied.

“There is as close to zero chance of that,” Harris added.

Rechnitz, who waived any claim of attorney-client privilege on the recording, said he and Reichberg were “paranoid at the time.”

“We were involved in a lot of bad stuff,” he said. “There were so many things we were doing that were wrong.”

Reichberg attorney Susan Necheles played the wiretap to show the jury Rechnitz’s state of mind, as well as the extent of his corruption.

Rechnitz’s dirty dealings, by his own admission, include a bribe of former jails union boss Norman Seabrook, involvement in a second Ponzi scheme, donations to de Blasio in exchange for access to City Hall and favors lavished upon numerous cops, including a private flight to Vegas in 2013 with a prostitute.
