I want to see what is being alleged. If this turns out to be the equivalent of parking tickets taken to a federal level it should be easy to draw conclusions. The Mayor has so far disavowed any criminal conduct, and even the acab crowd grilling him can’t guesstimate what the charges are. Regardless lets not act like all these DoJ buzz didn’t start after Adams called out Biden, since then a multitud of invasive investigations and house raids searching for? Every other person irl has mentioned House of Cards, Lemmy downvotes me for reporting it.
Mayor Eric Adams of New York City has been indicted on federal charges of bribery conspiracy, fraud and soliciting illegal foreign campaign donations. Illegal campaign donations funnelled through shell orgs as well as gifts, flights, hotels, etc etc. He attempted to hide the gifts, flights, hotels, etc with nominal purchases. The only person who had it out for Adams was Adams.
Jeez, you have an ax to grind. There is rumor that he accepted campaign money and travel from the country of Turkey, which is really really bizarre. That ain’t “parking tickets”.
Both NYC Democrats and Republicans are calling him an absent leader who needs to resign.15 people in his administration are under investigation by the FBI. Multiple people in his administration are or have resigned. 9 and counting NYC councilpeople and NY assemblypeople have asked for him to resign because he isn’t an effective leader of the city and region. State senators have requested that he resign. Even if he wants to stay, with such a quorum, he is effectively politically impotent.
But yeah, let’s wait until federal officials announce the charges today. He should still resign.
Corruption charges are a big deal. You can speculate all you want about the reason they are being brought but it just sounds like the ramblings of a conspiracy theorist honestly.
Ps I have no idea what you’re talking about regarding Biden. Somehow though you think this is retribution, as though that would be the reason for the charges and not someone dropping tips that the mayor is doing illegal things… 🙄
You’re expecting a paper labeled “Biden hit job plan” at the top in crayon, or…?
