‘Corruption in plain sight’: Trump's DOJ slammed as charges dropped against NYC mayor
It didn’t take long after the Justice Department dropped the sweeping corruption case against embattled New York City Mayor Eric Adams for political and legal observers to weigh in on social media.The new development came Monday when a senior Trump administration DOJ official turned Adams’ criminal ...
OOOOOHHHHHH, I was wondering where the hook came in for the EO issued earlier today. More favors and corruption. Trump is trying to get back into NYC.
The NY AG will get him. He's corrupt AF.
I was surprised it was only federal charges at this point.
Yeah, the Mango Mussolini is still working on getting rid of these pesky state's rights conservatives are always so enthusiastic about when it comes to bigotry and voter suppression..
Since you can't convict somebody for the same crime twice (double jeopardy) the state and the federal government have to decide together which to charge. Usually they go with whatever has the greater punishment. When charges are dropped like this it just opens for the next guy to pick them up, in this case NY.
To be clear, IANAL
You might be wondering why Traitorapist Trump did this for a Democrat. For the same reason he pardoned Rod Blagojevich (D), which no Democrat wanted him to do. Trump simply wants to normalize corruption everywhere because he is corrupt. It's the only reason that makes any sense. This is another one of Trump's enshitification of the country moves.
Also, Adams was never really a Democrat. Just a Republican cop aware that he'd have a much easier time becoming Mayor of Neoliberalville with a D behind his name.
He's always been a grifter and a fraud and always will be.
It's not that deep. It's because they paid him to.
Well, that, and now Trump owns Adam’s. The case wasn’t dismissed with prejudice, so any moment Adam’s talks back, the case resumes.
Incoming republican bid.
Oh no guys, they've been "Slammed", surely they will stop being corrupt now!
Consequences or nothing changes.
It didn’t take long after the Justice Department dropped the sweeping corruption case against embattled New York City Mayor Eric Adams for political and legal observers to weigh in on social media.
The new development came Monday when a senior Trump administration DOJ official turned Adams’ criminal prosecution on its head when he ordered government attorneys to withdraw the charges.
But the swift dismissal of the case – less than a month after Donald Trump returned to the White House – didn’t pass the smell test with social media users, with many calling out Adams for cozying up to the president in recent weeks.
“This isn’t justice,” Democratic strategist Chris D. Jackson wrote on his X account. “This is corruption in plain sight. The rule of law is officially dead.”
So NYC elected a cop, who proceeded to act just like a cop.
I know the author is terrible but the template is still good
Didn’t see that coming when I voted this November.
/smh
Did nazi that comming
Just wait for the Eric Adams nazi salute, any day now
Ya he turned out to be a real turd, right?

Adams leveraging Trump's trial as a "roadmap" is peak political theater. Another opportunist using the legal system as a prop for their own agenda. The irony of a Democrat borrowing Trump’s playbook—grifters recognize grifters.
New York’s leadership vacuum grows more obvious. When politicians treat courtrooms as campaign stages, it’s not governance—it’s performance art. Adams isn’t advocating justice; he’s auditioning for a role in the same broken system.
The real roadmap here? A dead end. Recycling outrage instead of policy. Democracy’s not failing—it’s being strip-mined for soundbites.
