Summary
Senior Justice Department officials are discussing the possibility of dropping corruption charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams, though federal prosecutors have not signaled they will do so.
Adams, indicted on bribery and campaign finance violations in September, has pleaded not guilty and faces trial in April.
The timing raises questions, as it follows Adams’ meeting with Donald Trump, who previously suggested Adams was treated unfairly and hinted at a possible pardon.
Meanwhile, prosecutors recently claimed to have uncovered additional criminal conduct by Adams.
Nothing says guilty as clearly as getting help from trump.
Corruption. Fuck Adams and especially the republican traitor filth.
There really is no justice in this country
At some point there needs to be a major call to the population to just ignore the law entirely. If they’re going to set the example that there is no law, then we should be ungovernable.
This is absolutely absurd.
All just a play to try to get the NY charges dropped from trump
Hochul sure ain’t gonna drop those and Adam’s certainly isn’t in the running for governor. How?
Feel more like it’s just straight bribery.
Wait, these aren’t state charges? Or is he indicted federally, too?
