Who could the judge get to prosecute the case? An AUSA from SDNY? Contract out an attorney?

The prosecutors could appear in court and just say “Adams in innocent of all charges. The only reason we are here is that the judge refused to dismiss the charges.”

The jury will crack up laughing at the judge at that point.

(If the prosecution just announces “present” and presents no arguments the defense will win.)

Over the target.
He knows something. They are afraid he is going to talk.

The entire state of NY seems like it’s corrupt. It just keeps getting worse, and more obvious.

Adams stepped off the track when he noted that the wetback horde was on the way to bankrupt NYC. The Machine retaliated against him by immediately announcing a corruption investigation as if he were an outlier amongst NY Democrats.

One way is as good as another to flush the the lefties out of the DOJ. Adams has indirectly provided a service o the nation.

If the judge really wants to make his point, I suppose he could order a continuance which would leave the charges in place.
