Seizing Mayor Adams’ phones and tablet on the street in public is the latest sign the feds aren’t simply investigating him: They’re out to inflict maximum embarrassment in a political vendetta, presumably in retribution for the noise he’s made about President Biden’s disastrous border policies.
The mayor is easy to find, 24/7/365: What reason to ambush him publicly event except to humiliate him?
And why else make sure his No. 1 press enemy, The New York Times, gets the story first?
Mind you, this follows the opening raid in this investigation — which stormed the home of his top fund-raiser while Adams was in the air en route to Washington to press Biden on his failure to help the city bear the multibillion-dollar cost of caring for the illegal migrants the prez is waving into the country.
That one leaked to the Times first, too.
And sources told The Post that timing was also intentional; the feds denied it — but of course they would.
To be clear: We have no idea whether the FBI will ever produce evidence that Adams did wrong, let alone whether he actually did.
It’s certainly beyond common for campaigns to accept donations they later learn were illegal; it definitely looks like the construction company in this case used straw donors to fraudulently conceal its giving.
But it usually takes the feds years to catch on, usually to a major pattern of violations, as in the case that sent multiple Andrew Cuomo donors and aides to prison.
Nor need we remind readers in detail about the years it has taken to investigate Hunter Biden.
Which suggests a full-on effort to find something to hang on Adams ASAP — making the investigation a political hit whether or not he’s guilty.

Banana republic.
Yes.
Yes, I thought this has more to do with Adams complaining about the Biden immigration policy than with the Feds being concerned about the law.
Yes. His whining and complaining about the immigrants in New York City actually is one reason why the feds are targeting Adams.
Another valid reason is that Adams failed to remember “10% for the big guy.” It’s understood that much of Adam’s campaign cash came from illicit sources in Turkey. And as he was funneling money into his pocket, he evidently forgot that most important rule.
Say Obama's disastrous border policies and you'll have it right.
This is the kind of thing that the Communists did in all the countries occupied by the Red Army at the close of WW2. It wasn't so much the conservatives and nationalists that came in for intimidation and purging as it was the plain Socialists. Political purity is absolutely necessary to the Revolution. Ask Trotsky. Oh, right, you can't.
Eric has become just another useful idiot and will be cut down by xiden's doj. He didn't play along. Too bad, he had such bright potential. He coulda' been a contender.
Don't screw with the mob.
Does Joe crap his pants in the Pope’s house?

We’ve become another sub-saharan republic.
Way back in 2005, GW Bush did something Uniparty, and it ticked me off. I forget now exactly what it was, but it inspired me to write this:
“First, we beat the Soviet Union. Then we became them.”
I had no idea, at the time, how prescient I was.
That about sums it up.
The answer is obvious!
Oh, goodness, no!
The FBI would never do such a thing! /s
Because he is in violation of his unofficial “Oaf of Office” for being Mayor of a major sanctuary city? Adams “lied” to the people who trusted him the most by trying to walk them back and that is problematic for the FBI or “whatever”. We don’t want to have our migrants be victimized before they have a shot at voting, now do we? I don’t think it’s JoeBiden so much as it is a Deep State thing, or that JoeBiden has any objection to it.
Roger that.
This is pure racism! De Blasio steals a billion and nothing Airwick steals a little suit buying money and they come after the brother!
The left has no problem destroying there own. Just look at what Hitler did to Ernst Rohm and Stalin did to Leon Trotski.
Why do we have an FBI?
Disband it. Immediately.
The most scary thing about this is the FBI is like the white blood cells of a swamp immune system. They attack threats to the deep state plans, threats like Adams, spontaneously. They need no instruction from the White Hut. They are rouge...
