So much corruption

Is there anyone left besides me that wants to see corruption prosecuted regardless of the political party of the accused?

Complete and utter chaos.

Speculation is that Trump ordered the case dropped because he wants Adams' cooperation in mass deportations.

We'll just have to see if such cooperation is forthcoming.

So much corruption

Barely “bipartisan corruption” in Eric Adams’ case.

Eric Adams would qualify as a MAGAt Republican on most issues, so…



Ultimately, Democrats are more than willing to hold other Democrats accountable. It isn’t even an issue, really.

The Democratic Party has unbelievably high standards for its members, whereas the Republican Party has lowered the bar to the point of having zero standards.

It is what it is.

Nothing President Musk’s (and DonOld’s) corrupt administration does surprises me / will surprise me.

We. Told. Them. So.

There will be a Congressional investigation into this soon. That is if there is any honor left in Congresd.

Wow:

In a letter to acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, Scotten slammed what he called a “dismissal-with-leverage.”

“Any assistant U.S. attorney would know that our laws and traditions do not allow using the prosecutorial power to influence other citizens, much less elected officials, in this way,” Scotten told Bove, who is President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney.

“If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion,” Scotten added. “But it was never going to be me.”

I suspect it will be.

Because Adams did not get a pardon -- the case against him was simply dismissed without prejudice and could be re-filed. It still hangs over him.
