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.

thx. see #20. i wouldn’t have guessed that an ‘accountant’ would have the power to remove an elected official, let alone a mayor.
I doubt the comptroller can remove the mayor.
The governor definitely can.

If New York City CFO Brad Lander had evidence of malfeasance by the mayor (or anyone else), he should have already blown the whistle.
The New York Post reports that Governor Hochul has the authority to remove Adams from office.
Governor Kathy Hochul meeting with officials tomorrow and she does have authority to remove Adams according to the New York Post.

When less than 24% of eligible NYC voters cast a ballot they deserve what they get.

New York City teachers, cops and firefighters lost nearly $30 million in pension funds tied to the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank.
Critics accuse Comptroller Brad Lander, who is custodian of the pension systems, of favoring the “woke” bank over shareholders.
Five city pension funds had a total of $41,867,214 invested in the doomed bank as of Jan. 31, according to data provided by the comptroller’s office under a Freedom of Information request by The Post. . .
