Maybe, like Cobblepot, he licensed criminals and doesn’t count the licensed crimes?

No, because he’s black. Anybody who says he’s under suspicion is a racist, you racist.

Top aide to embattled Adams’ NYPD Commissioner
Edward Caban linked to Chinese Communist Party
NY Post ^ | 09/11/2024 | Isabel Vincent
Posted on 9/11/2024, 12:00:29 PM by DFG

A top aide to embattled New York Police Department Commissioner Edward Caban is associated with shadowy groups that do the bidding of the Chinese Communist Party, The Post has learned. Lin Gui’an, 49, the assistant director of the Police Commissioner Liaison Unit, was previously vice chairman of a nonprofit linked to a web of CCP-controlled community groups and school associations, known as United Front, for 12 years, according to records viewed by The Post. He has also been pictured attending events alongside prominent members of United Front groups or sponsored by them.

The role of United Front is to spread Chinese propaganda in the US, overseen by the United Front Work Department, funded and controlled by the central government in China. Lin was also “handpicked” by Mayor Eric Adams for his high-ranking job despite having limited police experience, sources said.

After initially not commenting, a spokesperson for the NYPD said Wednesday Lin “came to the department as a Deputy Director which does not require mayoral approval. This was strictly a Police Commissioner appointment.” Lin’s ties come under scrutiny at a time of heightened awareness of Chinese influence in New York, after the arrest of Linda Sun, a former aide to Gov. Kathy Hochul, last week.

Sun is charged with 10 criminal counts, including money laundering, visa fraud, conspiring to act as a foreign agent for China and other crimes. She has pleaded not guilty in Brooklyn federal court.

Lin has been described by sources as Caban’s “right hand.” The commissioner is himself under pressure after he and others saw their homes raided by federal agents last week. Although the reason for the raids has not been made public, sources said the investigation prompting the raids centers around “undue” influence on the NYPD from China and Turkey.

Adams would have won without the corruption. To whatever extent he knew about these people and their crimes, he should have tamped it down.

Mayor Eric Adams taps ex-FBI official Tom Donlon as interim police commissioner after Caban resignation

Excerpt CNBC.com——Edward Caban, who was appointed to the job in July 2023, became the first Latino to serve as commissioner of the NYPD in its 179-year history. It wasn’t immediately clear when the resignation would take effect.

It means Mayor Eric Adams is looking at his third police commissioner in less than three years. Adams said at an afternoon briefing that he had accepted the resignation and wishes Caban well. He also said his administration, rocked by a series of investigations, remained focus on running the city. He announced Tom Donlon, who has extensive experience in law enforcement at local, state and federal levels of government, as the interim.

Earlier in the week, Adams declined to say whether Caban had been barred from communicating with federal law enforcement agencies, which work in close cooperation with the NYPD.

The development comes days after News 4 reported the Internal Revenue Service’s Criminal Investigation division had joined the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York in the inquiry.

At least one phone belonging to Caban was among several the SDNY and IRS seized from multiple NYPD officials, His twin brother, who owns a nightclub security business, also had his phone seized in the corruption investigation. Several sources tell NBC New York federal investigators want to know if James Caban profited from his ties to his powerful brother and the NYPD.

Specifically, the investigation is looking into whether James Caban was paid by bars and clubs in Midtown and Queens to act as a police liaison, and if those clubs were then afforded special treatment by local precincts, the sources said. snip

I had to scratch my head to remember that Eric Adams was NYC mayor. That's just how forgettable he is.

Same here. He's just corrupt. So I'll prefer him over somebody like de Blasio.

The write up that went with the X post.

Assistant Commissioner Gui An Lin is one of the highest ranking Asian-American civilian members of the NYPD. As the Commanding Officer of the Police Commissioner’s Liaison Unit, he proudly serves as a messenger—not only between community members & Police Commissioner Caban, but also between members of the NYPD and their top cop. In commemoration of #AAPIHeritageMonth, we acknowledge his service to NYC & the NYPD since moving to the United States to pursue his American Dream
