Adams’ real crime was telling the truth about the open border crisis.
When Mayor Eric Adams first took office, I described him as a corrupt clown and the best of a very bad lot of candidates and predicted he would end up indicted. I’m not surprised that he was indicted, but the issue wasn’t corruption. Adams is no more corrupt than the average New York City, Chicago, Detroit, LA, SF, or big city Dem pol, which is to say his kind of corruption is business as usual and there was something else that triggered this.
Adams used to be a Biden proxy. The Biden admin liked the idea of a black big city mayor until Adams broke with it over the open borders illegal alien invasion. New York City was and is overwhelmed by the invaders. Facing staggering expenses and chaos, Adams initially followed the party line and blamed Texas and Florida for busing migrants, but then broke with the White House and blamed the Biden administration.
At that point the relationship fell apart. And this outcome became inevitable.
Is there any evidence of that?
Let’s look at the timeline.
In April/May 2023, Mayor Adams began making pointed comments about the border crisis being a federal problem.
By August 2023, the Biden administration had begun taking shots at Adams.
In November 2023, the federal investigation of Adams went public.
Coincidence? Maybe. But I don’t believe in coincidences in corrupt systems. Like the election timing of this particular takedown which opens the door for a radical leftist takeover of the mayor’s office which will be an even worse version of Bill De Blasio.
The investigation predated some of the raids, but would the FBI have gone as hard after Adams if he hadn’t become a problem for the White House?
Adams is corrupt but his real crime was telling the truth about the open border crisis.

worse than a “banana republic” because they have so much power and many in the public places have no idea.
Charge after charge against Mr. Trump (there is proof that he asked for pelosi to call in the National Guard… for a ‘large crowd’ he expected to show up…3 Days before Jan 6)
RFK, Jr. campaigned against them and then endorsed Mr. Trump. Being investigated for a ‘crime’ from 3 decades ago
DeSantis campaigned against them and they refuse to allow Florida to investigate the attempted assassination on Mr. Trump
and now the mayor goes down in flames. While at the same time, questions about why crooks could get so close to Mr. Trump; questions about how rouse could have a “weapon of mass destruction,” and not go to prison; how he came to be so close to Mr. Trump and why, with all of the Ukraine stuff with which he was connected, did the fbi not know about him.
Bananas may be in short supply soon as dock workers may go on strike. Will that slow the corruption?

Yes and all the other “blue city mayors ” Chicago ,LA ,San Francisco ect. , shut their yaps after the Biden administration went after Adam’s for complaining too loudly ,too publicly about the catch and relocation of illegal aliens to cities far north of the southern border .If you are a “term player” in the democratic party local stealing ,,local kick backs inside dealing the feds give you a hands off see no evil, hear no evil , ,speak no evil, as long as you are low profile in your backroom deals. Adams speaking up for the taxpayers on the subject of illegal aliens flooding his city that despite him AND HIS friends stealing taxpayers money he was right to speak up .More proof the Biden is using the alphabet agencies to “selective” go after “normal” corruption that the local state IG (Ms L James) will not touch with a 10 foot pole because she knows who butters her bread . .

Too bad they can’t hire Bill de Blasio. Maybe they could put Letisha James there, and someone else in the AG’s office?
somehistory says
Bragg, maybe?

Bill de Blasio and his “wife” are the two luckiest crooks that even lived in Gracey Manson .His wife could not account for over 700 million that she was in charge of as an “appointed” mental health czar by her “husband ” Bill de Blasio when he was mayor. Letisha James is much too busy making up crimes to charge Trump with and keeping her non-biased promise she ran on to “get Trump” even before her and Soros backed prosecutors could invent felony crimes for normal real estate dealing ,or making book keeping errors in paying his attorney at the time Cohen who admitted to stealing from his client Trump because he felt his yearly “bonus” was too small. Or charging him with molesting someone between the fall of 1995 to the spring of 1996 ?A women who could not name the day ,or season ,or year it happen with no evidence or witnesses in a high end department store somewhere in Midtown Manhattan charge brought forward in 2023?

AOC has called for Adams to resign- something tells me she’s the real power in NYC.

You need to read The Second City Cop Blog. This is a blog hosted by a Chicago Cop, and CHP write in it anonymously. It is very interesting to read the utter corruption they are seeing with the call They Mayor Brandon “Conehead” Johnson. They just closed down a automated system that tracked gun shots. It was racist. But this was the only way cops knew there was shooting, and where. This saved a lot of lives because no one in these ‘hoods call 911 and they found shooting victims in time to save them.

Democrats have sent out a memo, you vill conform, or else. They are warning all their supporters, dont you dare have an independent thought based on even the slightest hint of reason. Let this be a lesson to all dems. Shut up, dont think (not hard), go along, have a nice day.

Notice in the picture, Mayor Eric Adams has that Biden “half-smile”.

The corruption of political leaders seems to be all through out our country, from small town leaders all the way to the White-House. The higher up you go the bigger the prize.
