A stone-faced Mayor Eric Adams pleaded not guilty in Manhattan federal court Friday during his historic arraignment on bombshell federal corruption charges.
Hizzoner — who is the first sitting New York City mayor to be criminally indicted — stared blankly ahead as the judge fired off the slew of conspiracy, wire fraud and bribery allegations he is facing.
“I am not guilty, your honor,” Adams told the judge.

Like that’s chump change for the Biden Crime family!
Where are the Indictments for the Millions upon Millions Biden, Hunter, James, and the rest of the Biden family received for “access” to then Vice President Joseph Bidenette.
Trump has been saying how the Justice Dept has gone after Adams because he was screaming about the migrant situation in NYC. Adams should screw ALL the Democrats and support Trump!
Still question fed’s constitutional authority to meddle in the affairs of a city. That is the State’s constitutional business.
The unconstitutional portion of the feds’ acts and agencies are MUCH more threatening to our lives, liberties, and wellbeing that any city’s malfeasance.
The only reason Adams got indicted was because he blasted Biden for the immigration shipments to NYC.
Of course he said he’s not guilty,....other than Rod Blagojevich, I can’t ever recall a democrat politician admitting guilt for illegal activity.
Got that right. He’s no more nor less corrupt than the rest of them. He was singled out.
This is a real possibility. But the question is: why now? Adams is a Democrat mayor in a deep-blue Democrat stronghold, who will face the same obvious lawfare as Trump faced - creating a stir just weeks before a national election.
As a political strategy, I don't see how this benefits Harris, Biden, or the Democrats "messaging" in any way.
“two counts of receiving campaign contributions from a foreign national”
I’m guessing that technically makes it a federal crime but I could be wrong.
Yep. What happened to the investigation into all those shell companies that were funneling millions of dollars to the various Biden crime family members, starting with the Big Guy?
Money laundered from the Chinese Commies for the Bidens. Incredibly illegal. Now we hear nothing about it.
Well I mean it’s not as if he posted some things online years ago.
They want him out so they can install their democrat socialist, Jumaane Williams.
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government ...
“Still question fed’s constitutional authority to meddle in the affairs of a city. That is the State’s constitutional business.”
Federal crimes are charged. Which of the statutes charged do you consider unconstitutional?
Betting that you haven’t read the specific charges ...
“I’m guessing ...”
Don’t guess. Read the attached indictment. Jump to page 49.
Forget it Jake; it's New York.
The messaging from Democrats is that New York is already owned by one faction and that the Turks or anyone else needs to butt out.
It's no different that an anonymous tip to police to put your drug-dealing competition out of business.
To the dealers - "You'll get locked up."
To the backers - "We'll get your boy locked up and your assets seized. The Feds, the NYPD, and the prosecutors work for us, not you."
That's laughable. There wouldn't be a single Democrat politician if not for foreign nationals (and dual citizens) funding them.
Article IV, Section 4 (1) limits federal authority to ensuring that the state gov’t is a republic (representative).
Within that, the State and the people of the State are constitutionally free to run things as they wish.

These days with our 80% unconstitutional federal gov’t, the presumption is the related federal laws are unconstitutional.
The presumption may be rebutted by clear and convincing evidence that the related federal laws are constitutional.
Betting you don’t have that supportable argument/evidence.
