OOOOOHHHHHH, I was wondering where the hook came in for the EO issued earlier today. More favors and corruption. Trump is trying to get back into NYC.

    It didn’t take long after the Justice Department dropped the sweeping corruption case against embattled New York City Mayor Eric Adams for political and legal observers to weigh in on social media.

    The new development came Monday when a senior Trump administration DOJ official turned Adams’ criminal prosecution on its head when he ordered government attorneys to withdraw the charges.

    But the swift dismissal of the case – less than a month after Donald Trump returned to the White House – didn’t pass the smell test with social media users, with many calling out Adams for cozying up to the president in recent weeks.

    “This isn’t justice,” Democratic strategist Chris D. Jackson wrote on his X account. “This is corruption in plain sight. The rule of law is officially dead.”

    So NYC elected a cop, who proceeded to act just like a cop.
