The Justice Department on Monday ordered federal prosecutors to drop corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, arguing in a remarkable departure from long-standing norms that the case was interfering with the mayor’s ability to aid the president’s crackdown on illegal immigration.
In a two-page memo obtained by The Associated Press, acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove told prosecutors in New York that they were “directed to dismiss” the bribery charges against Adams immediately.
Bove said the order was not based on the strength of evidence in the case, but rather because it had been brought too close to Adams reelection campaign and was distracting from the mayor’s efforts to assist in the Trump administration’s law-and-order priorities.

Ex-fucking-cuse me? Oh I’m sorry, we can’t bother you about all your criming, I see you’re trying to get reelected to public fucking office. Wouldn’t want you to suffer the consequences of your actions now would we?
This country is a fucking joke.
Hey, Trumpers! How is this going to make eggs less expensive?
As Adams was a Dem at least in the past, is the takeaway that all corrupt politicians are safe and those with actual integrity are “the enemy within”?
Adams was a Republican, then changed parties, then ran for mayor.
He was never actually a Democrat.
The key is that they’re part of the corruption and are therefore malleable. Their actual stances don’t matter once they fall in line because their opinions are now given to them.
As usual, a corrupt cop gets away with a crime.
