What ? Are you telling me that someone opposed to administration could be criminally charged because of their opposition ? Say it aint so Joe !!

Even before he was indicted, Mr. Adams’s administration had been battered not just by the investigation into him and his campaign but by three separate inquiries involving some of his highest ranking aides and advisers — investigations that included a drumbeat of searches and seizures that destabilized City Hall and made it difficult for him to govern effectively.
Calls for Mr. Adams’s resignation had been steadily accumulating over the past several weeks.
Earlier on Wednesday, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York said she could “not see how Mayor Adams can continue” in his job.

Eric Adams Is Indicted After Federal Corruption Investigation - The New York Times (nytimes.com)



Mayor Eric Adams releases statement, expected to face federal charges: Sources | NBC New York (youtube.com)


It is too early to determine if there is any legitimacy to the charges . Legal experts will read the fine print and report the truth on social media (Don't expect the compliant press to come to his aid . It looks like knives out in a coordinated assault. ) .
It is safe to surmise that there are plenty of corrupt officials across the nation. It is easy to be selective on who to go after for political reasons while claiming to enforce the law.

Mayor Eric Adams says migrant crisis 'will destroy New York City' (youtube.com)

Just a thought exercise .
Kam the Sham should be concerned . Adams is a NY elector. Let's say this is close in the Electoral College .Conceivably the count could be 270-268 Harris . Then what happens if Adams becomes a "faithless elector " ("Faithless electors" are electors who ultimately vote for someone other than for whom they pledged.)

Adams becoming a faithless elector would make the count 269-269 . That would throw the election to Congress. The House would decide who's President and the Senate would choose VP .

One insider story is that Andrew il duce Cuomo is plotting a comeback . He sees his best shot with the 2025 NYC Mayor race. He has been working behind the scenes since at least November of last year.

Cuomo weighs run for NYC mayor amid Adams’ woes - POLITICO

Back then it seemed improbable.
Cuomo has been doing polling in that time. The poll has Cuomo vs other contenders . Noteworthy is that if did not poll Cuomo v Adams . I suspect he knew Adams would be not a factor in 2025.

Cuomo sees himself as a libtard who gets things done. FDR came out of NY politics and that is his model.

Andrew Cuomo: The wild card in the 2025 mayoral race. Will he run? Can he win? (politicsny.com)

The whole affair is tiring to have to think about. Cuomo, Adams, AOC...what a group. It's a great advertisement for why the Founding Fathers wanted limited government.

Continuing my thought exercise as I prepare to get wet with Hurricane Helene's surge into SC in a day or so . 2000 was a close election . 5 electors separated Bush and the Goracle. Gore contested the election until SCOTUS stopped him.

He then on January 5 presided over the Senate certification and declared Bush the winner.

If there is a close election this time ;and Kam the Sham presides over the certification will she announce Trump the winner ? Or will she turn Trump's arguments against him and claim that VP/President of the Senate has the authority to "reject electors " ?

And here it is ; the Slimes makes it official

As Adams’s Fate Hangs in the Balance, Cuomo Waits in the Shadows - The New York Times (nytimes.com)

Great posts Tom. Keep it up.

Doing clean up after Helene . Net is off and on

It is going to be tough to prove corruption based on the SCOTUS decision of former Va. Guv Robert McDonnell .

The government has a high bar to hurdle to prove that the pubic official was not engaged in official acts .And official acts for public officials include doing constituent "services."

Supreme Court overturns Bob McDonnell’s corruption convictions - POLITICO

McDonnell got gifts . But the government could not prove a quid pro quo.

It had to be so. Paying Kam the Sham for an autographed photo would be indictable. All these San Fran funders she goes to would be an indictment .

Stipulate that Adams as a celeb Mayor was lavished with gifts . What did Adams promise in return. Under the theory that the prosecutors are using for Adams if applied to Quid Pro Joe ;there would be no doubt about his quilt. The case against Joe is easy compared to Adams.
And still the real question is lawfare . Well now that the shoe is on a Dem's foot .Maybe the more sober of them will realize what a dangerous game they play.

That's assuming you can find a sober-minded liberal dem.

What did Adams do ?

He got a complimentary business class upgrade from Turkish Airlines .

But the DOJ was never ordered to investigate him. He never opposed Clueless Joe's agenda.

No wonder they are so terrified of a Trump presidency. There are many chickens waiting to come home to roost.

Mayor Adams had a call in with Trump. I suspect Adams will get a deal to end federal charges against him dropped.

Conservatives have complained that the illegals that were being sent to NYC were getting vouchers to buy just about anything they wanted (it was supposed to be for food since the free food the NYC taxpayers were providing was not culturally sensitive ) .

The cards, distributed at the city's intake center at the Roosevelt Hotel, give a family of four about $350 per week to go shopping at local stores for food and baby supplies.

Suddenly NYC is ending the voucher program.

Trump won't have to deport . Ending freebees ;the illegals will self deport .

The left have their panties in a knot because Mayor Adams says he will sit down with Trumps border czar Tom Homan to cooperate in deporting criminal illegals . Adams dares them to stop him

hose who are here committing crimes, robberies, shooting at police officers, raping innocent people have been a harm to our country. I want to sit down and hear the plan on how we're going to address them. Those are the people I am talking about. And I would love to sit down with the border czar and hear his thoughts on how we're going to address those who are harming our citizens.
Question: Open to hearing what their plan is to deport some of these folks. And you think the city in some circumstances should cooperate with ICE?
Mayor Adams: Let me– know what's interesting? And I was talking to the team the other day. I want you to all go back and Google Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Google what they said about those who commit crimes in our city and what they said in our country.
They said those who commit crimes need to get out right away. That was their position. So this is not a new position. You know, because in this state of– in the era of cancel culture, no one's afraid to be honest about the truth.
Well, cancel me because I'm going to protect the people of the city. And if you come into this country in this city and think you're going to harm innocent New Yorkers and innocent migrants and asylum seekers, this is not the mayor you want to be in the city under.

Eric Adams has not ruled out the possibility of switching party to Repub.

Quote:

---

Meanwhile, asked whether he would ever consider rejoining the Republican Party — Adams was enrolled as a Republican from April 1995 to November 2002, according to the city Board of Elections — the mayor said the “party that's the most important for me is the American party.”
“I'm a part of the American party,” Adams said. “I love this country. This is the home of the free, the land of the brave. My 19-year-old [uncle] died on the fields of Vietnam, protecting what this city and this country represent. And that’s the party I’m going to always be a member of.”

Adams celebrates approval of 'City of Yes' housing plan

He will run for reelection as a Dem

He may be moving to get a pardon.

It is nice to see he has had a road to Damascus conversion .But as far as I am concerned he still has a lot to answer for . NYC for the most part has been a train wreck under his watch .

It would be like the stupid Californians who want to move out of their failing state to Texas, Florida, or wherever, but then continue to vote for liberal dems like the ones who are ruining California. No thanks, Mr. Adams. Stay where you are until you have seriously changed concerning your values.

There is a new boss in town . He has made an executive order to end the weaponization of politics by the DOJ .

The DOJ had ramped up their investigations of Eric Adams after he dared to challenge Clueless Joe's policies about sending busloads of illegals to NYC for the city to deal with .
This led to a 5 count indictment against him in September by DA Damian Williams (who was on the short list to be Kam the Shams Attorney General)

Adams is up for reelection this year. Trump views the charges against him as a political prosecution similar to what he had to endure .

So Trump directed the DOJ to end the prosecution.
