The relationship between President Joe Biden’s White House and Eric Adams began breaking down in private months earlier than previously known – and long before the New York mayor started publicly blasting the president over the migrant crisis in his city.
“There’s no leadership here,” Adams told a group of Biden aides last October in the chief of staff’s office, demanding the president do more to help his city handle a massive influx of migrants.
The issue is one of the most sensitive issues for the White House, and for Biden’s reelection campaign. Intergovernmental affairs director Julie Chávez Rodríguez, chief of staff Ron Klain and Homeland Security Adviser Liz Sherwood-Randall bristled. They were doing everything they could at the White House to lead without Congress pitching in, they said. Biden had done more than any previous president and much of what Adams was asking for would either require congressional action or would likely immediately be challenged in court.
It was a moment, which is being reported now for the first time, that prefaced a total breakdown of the relationship between the White House and the mayor’s office. CNN’s conversations with multiple sources revealed the political partnership has devolved into finger-pointing and frustration between Adams, the president, their aides and advocates who complain that the leaders have both been blundering through a response to a crisis that more than one told CNN feels like “playing hot potato with people.”
A year later, Adams has long moved past private bashing of Biden, even headlining a rally on Thursday in Manhattan that slammed the administration’s response arrival of migrants...

“Remember Democrats, they will go after you if you go against the PARTY, comrades.”
The point of me posting this.
Just like other large crime families, the Dems rub out anyone who breaks ranks, disloyal or tries to showboat their independence.

I Love It. Cool Hand Luke was a great 1967 movie. Paul Newman then followed that up with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid in 1969. Good memories.

The Sting was also quite good.

Pack of lies by a pack of liars.
WHat we are witessing is the salying foprth of the destroyer/weaponized Federal Justice Department.
Adams has become a thorn in the side of the sanctuary city movement to keep prosecuting demographic illegal alien warfare against America.
Garland has been tasked to organize a final solution on Adams. The feds cannot oppose Adams without alienating the NYC black community.So they are going to lawfare him into jail.
I can hardly wait to watch Adams invite Trump into NYC to hold huge rallies at public venues offered by Adams for free.
As the wheel turns......it will become very interesting
Yeah but can he eat 50 eggs?
That’s what they have J B Pritzker for.
hehe.....touchez
This guy? Historic federal indictment against Mayor Adams claims he took $10M in public funds, including $123K in free luxury travel, ritzy perks
https://nypost.com/.../mayor-eric-adams-federal.../
Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted on charges he allegedly took $10 million in illegal campaign contributions and bribes — including free flights and other ritzy perks — from foreign nationals in exchange for favors, according to a bombshell federal indictment unsealed by Manhattan prosecutors Thursday.
The five-count indictment — the first against a sitting New York City mayor — details an alleged decade-long pattern of corruption by Adams after he was indicted by a grand jury on conspiracy, wire fraud and bribery charges amid the long-running federal probe.
“In 2014, Eric Adams, the defendant, became Brooklyn Borough President. Thereafter, for nearly a decade, Adams sought and accepted improper valuable benefits, such as luxury international travel, including from wealthy foreign businesspeople and at least one Turkish government official seeking to gain influence over him,” the 57-page indictment charges.
Exactly. The White House’s reaction to the breakdown was to indict Adams.
