NYC Coup: Democrat Comptroller Brad Lander Now Threatens to Remove Mayor Eric Adams After Four of NYC’s Deputy Mayors Resigned
Gateway Pundit ^ | February 17, 2025 | Jim Hoft

New York City is witnessing a coup orchestrated by the far-left elite against a mayor who dared to work with President Trump on crucial policy issues.

Democrat Comptroller Brad Lander has issued an ultimatum to Mayor Eric Adams, demanding a “contingency plan” or else he will initiate proceedings to oust him from office.

Mayor Adams, a Democrat who has shown a willingness to cooperate with Trump’s administration on the deportation of illegal immigrants, has now become the target of his own party’s wrath.

This comes after the Department of Justice, under Trump’s influence, decided to drop corruption charges against Adams.

The DOJ’s memo blatantly admitted that the politically motivated case against Adams was damaging to his leadership and re-election campaign—conveniently launched right after he dared to criticize the Biden administration’s disastrous immigration policies.

Seven federal prosecutors resigned in protest. The resignations include Danielle Sassoon, the interim U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Hagan Scotten.

Additionally, five officials from the DOJ’s Criminal Division’s Public Integrity Section, including acting head Kevin Driscoll and acting chief John Keller, have stepped down in protest.

NY City in chaos is probably inevitable

Cut off their parasitical relationship with Fed.gov, printed money and government debt, and things are guaranteed to get ugly.

In “Our Democracy”, any elected Democrat who has shown a willingness to cooperate with Trump’s administration can simply be removed from office by other Democrats.

“...has now become the target of [Socialist Democrat] wrath.”

In some ways you have to admire them; they are nothing if not united...in their STUPIDITY. Something, ‘The Stupid Party’ hasn’t EVER gotten a handle on!

Also - it’s AWESOME to see them still flying their Freak Flags. Keep showing Everyday Americans WHO YOU ARE, Socialist Democrats!

Loving it! MAGA! (Without them!)

The issue with that was Wall Street. Can’t have chaos where all our financial markets are centered. But... wall street is slowly dumping NYC and moving elsewhere, right now they are creating the infrastructure to move their operations to Texas. Once Wall Street is gone, then you can write off NYC from a federal money spigot is concerned.

Dems kinda had Adams on a leash.

Then Trump unleashed him.

Dems in disarray.

Not sure what Adams knows, but he knows enough to get proffer of immunity.

They are playing this all wrong but what do I care? Not my city, not my state, and not my party. But it is my country so I guess I care a little bit about how this plays out. And the way they are playing this is good for the country. Idiots.

DOJ needs to step up here and help a brother out.
The Comptroller has demanded a contingency plan to deal with the upheaval.
Perfect opportunity for the Feds to help develop the plan.

” The resignations include Danielle Sassoon, the interim U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York,”

No.... she was fired. When appointed, they all wrote letters of resignation to be kept on file. Hers was “accepted” by the Deputy AG when she refused direct orders and became insubordinate. They keep acting like she resigned in protest.

A comptroller is responsible for accounting and reporting. In private corporations they’re often called the Chief Audit Executive but are usually independent of other C-Suite executives (CEO, CFO, etc).
