It's absolute insanity that the mayor of the largest city in the US -- accused of bribery and exchanging favors with a foreign government -- would then do the exact same thing with the US President and Attorney General in exchange for dropping the charges. The people of NYC should be furious that their mayor is now beholden to outside groups rather than the people of the city and those outside groups are allowing him to get away with allegedly betraying the city and committing serious crimes.

Adams is running again.
After Sassoon, two more officials have resigned rather than dropping charges against Adams. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/top-fede... John Keller, the acting head of the Public Integrity Section and Kevin Driscoll, the acting head of the department's Criminal Division. Keep in mind that "acting head" means they were recently chosen for the positions by the Trump administration, but they are still refusing to comply.
Wow, this is crazy. Do you have anti-corruption NGOs who can sue officials on behalf of a civic entity in the US?
It's extortion, pure and simple. Hold the charges over Adams' head and ensure he does exactly what Musk/Trump want. We want these charges to go forward as Adams is corrupt as they come and a simply awful mayor.
He is, of course, cartoonishly guilty:
> At one point during her voluntary interview [with the FBI], the Adams Staffer excused herself to a bathroom and, while there, deleted the encrypted messaging applications she had used to communicate with Adams, the Promoter, the Turkish Official, the Airline Manager, and others.
> Adams claimed that after he learned about the investigation into his conduct, he changed the password on November 5, 2024, and increased the complexity of his password from four digits to six. Adams had done this, he claimed, to prevent members of his staff from inadvertently or intentionally deleting the contents of his phone because, according to Adams, he wished to preserve the contents of his phone due to the investigation. But, Adams further claimed, he had forgotten the password he had just set, and thus was unable to provide the FBI with a password that would unlock the phone.
