New York City Mayor Eric Adams indicted after campaign corruption investigation
Fox News ^ | 9/25/24 | Michael Ruiz, Greg Whener

A Manhattan grand jury has indicted New York Mayor Eric Adams on federal criminal charges, multiple sources familiar confirmed to Fox News. The details about the indictment remain under seal.

Multiple sources have confirmed to Fox News that the indictment could be unsealed as early as tomorrow.

The FBI and Department of Justice are declining to comment on the matter, and it is unclear who Adams has retained as his personal attorney.

"I always knew that if I stood my ground for New Yorkers that I would be a target — and a target I became," Adams said in a statement obtained by The Associated Press. "If I am charged, I am innocent, and I will fight this with every ounce of my strength and spirit."

Several people have already been raided in the orbit of the 63-year-old former NYPD captain.

I really don’t understand why this is happening. He has to have really upset a power broker.

And unlike when the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago the pics of the Adams raid appear to show the agents were unarmed.

It’s happening because the mayor has spoken out about way too many immigrants sent to NYC. They don’t have the $$, the resources etc. He blames “the government” for this massive,uncontrollable influx. Crime is up, New Yorkers are naturally blaming the mayor.

So when another democrat speaks the truth about this, he gets indicted for something from years ago.

If I am charged, I am innocent

Charged but innocent of what? Any possible charge that might be brought?

Anyone who still supports the Democrats has a criminal heart, mind and soul.

Anyone.

He was complaining about the amount of illegals flooding NYC.

Not only are they flying into NYC and over staying their visas. They are flying plane loads of illegals into NYC.
Then according to a YouTube video I watched last week, most of the ones that come across the border from Canada into NY or VT end up getting picked up and driven to NYC.

He said something slightly bad about Biden’s border policy. Otherwise none of this would be happening (though I suspect he is probably guilty)

Well, it's either a DOJ lawfare hit job for going against Biden OR, it's that he is guilty, OR, BOTH.
