Liu Embraces Victimhood, Rallies For Campaign Money
NEW YORK, NY - AUGUST 02: New York City mayoral candidate and former city comptroller John Liu, speaks at a protest against the eviction of over two hundred small businesses on August 2, 2013 in the Willet's Point neighborhood of the Queens borough of New York City. The neighborhood has been in a battle with the city of New York for years, which hopes to demolish the neighborhood and invest $3 billion for a mall, apartments and more parking for nearby Citi Field. Members of the neighborhood argue that hundreds of small businesses are established in the neighborhood and should not be evicted. (Photo by Andrew Burton/Getty Images)

New York City Comptroller John Liu was never charged with a crime or formally accused of any wrongdoing. But his campaign treasurer and one contributor were convicted in a federal trial of breaking fund-raising rules, and that may cost him millions of dollars in matching funds from the city.
