    Yeah, but not the diseased Republican at the top of the ticket though. He just denies knowing about it, as if anyone believes him.

    Isn't the Supreme Court in NY, let's get Clarence Thomas now too.

    Who is "he"?

    Im not defending Republicans, they are more about accessing whether the person is worth backing and if its a situation that has no hope

    Trump’s DOJ to toss NYC Mayor Eric Adams’ historic bribery case, agrees with Dem that charges were politically motivated by Biden admin

    https://nypost.com/2025/02/10/us-news/feds-move-to-toss-mayor-eric-adams-historic-bribery-case/

    excerpt:

    The Justice Department ordered Manhattan prosecutors Monday to dismiss the historic bribery case against Mayor Eric Adams — siding with Hizzoner that the charges under the Biden administration were politically motivated and hampered his ability to combat the migrant crisis in New York City, The Post has confirmed.

    The new DOJ under President Trump instructed the Southern District of New York to dismiss the case without prejudice, meaning charges could be refiled in the future, sources said.

    “You are directed, as authorized by the Attorney General, to dismiss the pending charges” against Adams, Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove wrote in a letter obtained by The Post.

    The letter notes “independent reasons” as to why Adams’ case was being tossed — including that the case was retribution for him speaking out against the Biden administration for its handling of the migrant crisis.

    “It cannot be ignored that Mayor Adams criticized the prior Administration’s immigration policies before the charges were filed, and the former US Attorney’s public actions created appearances of impropriety…”

    Bove wrote that the charges have “improperly interfered with Mayor Adams’ campaign in the 2025 mayoral election” and also have “unduly restricted Mayor Adams’ ability to devote full attention and resources to the illegal immigration and violent crime that escalated under the policies of the prior Administration.”

    The immigration crackdown is a focus for Trump out of the gate in his second term, and Adams has signaled a willingness to support harsh measures — including rolling back sanctuary city policies — that are anathema to many of his Democratic counterparts.

    But Adams isn’t entirely in the clear, as Bove’s letter also notes that “the matter shall be reviewed by the confirmed US Attorney in the Southern District of New York, following the November 2025 mayoral election.”

    “There shall be no further targeting of Mayor Adams or additional investigative steps … and you are further directed to take all steps within your power to cause Mayor Adams’ security clearances to be restored,” he wrote.

    A motion outlining the legal reasons behind the dismissal is expected to be filed as soon as Tuesday.

    LOL A former member of the Donald Trump defense team.... that has been rewarded by being named as the Acting Deputy AG.... has decided to dismiss the charges against Adams for corruption.

    All the crooks love that Trump cooking.... we can add Adams to the long line of politicians found to have been corrupt that get to kiss the ring of Emperor Trump for graciously letting them out of trouble.

    The silver lining here is that Mayor Adams is really funny in the sense that he is genuinely a stupid person and that creates funny clips.

    Basically the things Adams is being accused of (and probably guilty of) - bribery and foreign influence - that's right up Trump's ally. I wonder what foreign influence made the call to Trump to protect their asset.
