I hope the judge drags him into court to be further humiliated.

And then Hochul should fire Adams, now that the DOJ is temporarily done making a mockery of themselves.

Says he’s gonna appear. That should be a fun time.

New York Times front page article saying it's possible the judge will refuse DOJ's request to drop charges.

This link is paywall penetrating for 14 days, i.e. until Feb. 28, 2025:


While the judge CAN do that, it's more likely that he'll accept the dismissal with prejudice so it removes the unethical lever that the govt was obviously using on Adams.

It's happening!!!!! The process of removal could begin by the other less known secondary method to remove mayor Adams. This method does not involve any input from Hochul. However, for Adams to officially be removed it would require that Adams does not submit a contingency plan by February 21st, the removal process will start at full speed.
For those who do not know, the "Inability Committee" is the other method of removing the mayor.

The inability committee seems unlikely to remove him as you need 4 out of 5 people to vote in favor, one of which is chosen by Adams himself, and where only 2 of the 4 have expressed any interest in this at all.

The governor is the way to do this. All this is likely to do is increase pressure on her.

Sounding lately like she is finally moving in this direction. Though waiting to see what the court does this week.

Eric Adams with supporters today saying he is going nowhere. He looks like Trump getting touched by the evangelical loons in the White House - with DEI though.

Judge refuses to dismiss the charges until he gets some answers, and has appointed a well-respected conservative former solicitor general to review the arguments.

Seems pretty likely it gets dismissed anyway as the standard for a judge continuing a prosecution the state doesn't want to do is very high but if one is going to meet that standard it should be this one as the deal is manifestly, obviously corrupt.

Yes. But also, I'd like to see Bove twist in the wind and potentially face sanctions. Then have the case dismissed, and Adams removed from his mayorship (maybe timed so that there doesn't have to be a special election where Cuomo can slip in on his name recognition).

It's a tough choice. I hate Cuomo so I definitely don't want to see him as mayor but I would say that he is competent, unlike Adams, and his corruption was more standard NY corruption instead of this off the charts nonsense from Adams. If he is removed after some time in March then the public advocate is mayor for the rest of the year and while I have no problem with the guy personally I'm not convinced he can run the city.

It's just a shit show all around. I still think it doesn't change the fact that Adams is openly corrupt and NYC should not stand for it. Do the right thing.

Isn’t the issue whether or not to drop the case with or without prejudice?

Sounds like a lose/lose to me. Dropped with prejudice and Trump can’t use it a a quid pro quo but Adam gets away with committing a crime. Dropped but without prejudice and Trump gets his quid pro quo but Adams could get charged later.

Either way justice does not prevail.
