Mayor de Blasio railed against the high-ranking NYPD officers busted for being “cops on call” for two deep-pocketed mayoral donors on Thursday.

But he made it clear that none of their shenanigans started under his watch, or under Police Commissioner Bill Bratton.

“These instances began before Commissioner Bratton and I were in office, and the U.S. Attorney said very affirmatively they had nothing to do with City Hall, they had nothing to do with me,” de Blasio said during a press conference in the West Village, where the NYPD outlined the city’s security plans for Sunday’s Gay Pride March.

On Monday, three high-ranking NYPD officers, along with Brooklyn businessman Jeremy Reichberg were hit with federal charges that they traded gifts for favors.
