    I'm no fan of Eric Adams, and my first thought when I heard he was being investigated for fundraising crimes was "aahhh liberals consuming their own again nothing sweeter". But does that seem like too big of a coincidence that right after he's publicly criticized the Biden administration this suddenly comes up? I think this is a lesson and a warning. Anyone else's thoughts?

    My thought is that if Adams is guilty, he should receive the punishment that is applicable to the law.

    It seems pretty coincadink... Adams starts slamming illegal immigration, and suddenly, he's being investigated by the DOJ... Is it just a coincidence? It sure seems like if you as a democrat don't cow to the party line, the legal goons start kicking in your door....

    It really looks a lot like 1930s Germany.........

    When one looks for conspiracies under every rock one can usually find a rationale to claim they exist.

    "I'm no fan of Eric Adams, and my first thought when I heard he was being investigated for fundraising crimes was "aahhh liberals consuming their own again nothing sweeter".

    An alternative view would be liberals are not protecting their own for political purposes. Can't say the same for Repubs.

    I'd say the example of Biden/Hunter Biden sure undercuts the veracity of your assertion here. It actually looks like once Adams drifter from the approved narrative on illegal immigration, he put himself in the crosshairs for law fare from the Biden DOJ. I suspect that should the DOJ take even the briefest review of Biden campaign finances, well, let's just be serious here. Use the same scrutiny on your president. When you don't, or won't it underpins the thrash because you don't.

    That's exactly what I was thinking.

    Since, Adams has been complaining about all the illegals, he has to be "dealt with"...lol

    Isn't this happening in the city where a former President is being tried for fraud? I think we should allow both to be settled by our legal system.

    Yes, the thought had entered my mind. If you criticize the administration in a public, substantive way, the Justice Department will come after you, regardless of your party. Independent voters should take note of this.

    It was unclear precisely when the investigation began, but this spring, two F.B.I. agents assigned to the same New York public corruption squad that executed the search warrant at the home of Ms. Suggs interviewed at least one senior Fire Department official who had been involved in the Turkevi Center approval process, three people with knowledge of the matter said. They asked detailed questions about the safety issues, the approval process and whether pressure had been brought to bear and by whom, the people said.

    Several months later, in midsummer, at least one other high-ranking Fire Department official was interviewed and asked similar questions, according to two of the people.

    Horseshit. But I can understand why Trump supporters have attached themselves to this narrative after the revelations about Trump's plans to completely corrupt the DoJ is pursuit of revenge against his perceived enemies.

    For the Biden administration, the legal system and the political campaign are two parts of the same entity. Merrick Garlin is Joe Biden’s legal campaign chairman.

    Well Trump is calling it corrupt but, as we all know WB Kelsoe, he simply projecting his lack of morals, values and weakness of character and judging all by his subpar standards.

    Knowing Adams history, both in the NYPD and local politics here, it was just a matter of time before this happened.

    Of course, the wingnut righties will try and make hay out of it..............can't say I really care...........tinfoil hatters will wear tinfoil hats....
