Did anyone really expect Rachel Noerdlinger, chief of staff to New York City First Lady Chirlane McCray, to face any consequences for failing to include her cop-hating, ex-con boyfriend on her background disclosure forms as required?

The boyfriend’s name is Hassaun McFarlane. His resumé includes a conviction for manslaughter, time served for drug trafficking and an arrest just last year for nearly hitting a New Jersey police officer while driving Noerdlinger’s car.

Yet on Monday her boss, Mayor de Blasio, pronounced “case closed.” Then again, the Department of Investigation that handled the probe into Noerdlinger — former top aide to the Rev. Al Sharpton — is conveniently headed by the mayor’s former campaign treasurer, Mark Peters.

Anyone surprised the “investigation” found “no intent to deceive”?

But why did Noerdlinger not disclose her relationship on these forms? After all, the forms specifically warn that omitting information may result in “termination of employment” and even criminal prosecution.

The issue isn’t her boyfriend but her lying about it on official forms.

Indeed, the problems that ended up sending former Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik to the pokey began when he left out info on his city disclosure forms about renovations to his apartment done by a contractor who wanted work with the city. Lying on these forms is a serious issue.

Even so, Noerdlinger never made even a pro forma offer of resignation after publicly embarrassing the mayor. At Bill de Blasio’s City Hall, folks count on the “two New Yorks”: one standard for the mayor’s special insiders and one for everybody else.
