The Southern District of New York seems to be heavily politicized in favor of the leftists and against conservatives. I wonder if any of the more than 1,000 signatories would dare to deny that.
Hochul takes her orders from Schumer...she’s a big nothing.
I wonder if those Districts with the most monetary potential are also those districts which have been the most politicized. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.
Were they really going to prosecute Adams for corruption for accepting seat upgrades on airline flights?
remember what 34 misdemeanor bookkeeping errors could get you.
Elected President? 😂
I regard prosecutors who demand payouts to outside groups as engaging in extortion and embezzlement, and would like to see some prosecutions.
That does seem like extortion for political purposes.
No deal or agreement was necessary.
Trump hates weaponized prosecution (persecution) and, for that reason, and that reason only, is and was always going to work legitimately to undo what the Brandon administration did to Mayor Adams.

I don’t think they claim to be holy. I don’t think they’re in these positions to do justice with the tenet of the constitution
Eric Adams went against the sanctuary city thing for NYC. Then his real problems started.
It’s selective prosecution.
Yes
And the governor has to back off now. Trump is in charge of
Manhattan Contrarian ping
Prosecutors are bureaucrats and they want to be unaccountable. They want to be able to freely make the final determination as to what the law is. They want to have their own separate branch of government unrestrained by the peasants.
These people realty do need to check on their privilege.
The Heritage piece contains a list of some of the groups that got payouts from these agreements:

Is any Republican in Congress drafting legislation that would ban this?
.
Congressional bans are worthless with Democrat presidents who feel they can ignore them.
The prospect of being prosecuted for embarrassment of government funds, by a future administration, would have more teeth.
