TL;DR
With prejudice, so the DOJ can’t use this as a stick to keep him in line.
Your tldr immediately conflicts with your post…
A federal judge on Wednesday dismissed the criminal corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, nearly two months after the Trump administration controversially sought to drop the case.
The case was dismissed “with prejudice,” which means the Department of Justice is permanently barred from resurrecting the five-count indictment against Adams based on the same evidence used in the case in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.
trump wanted charges dropped, because Adams is kissing his ass.
Just because Adams has a D by his name, doesn’t mean he’s on the peoples side.
He’s an obviously corrupt piece of shit who was likely just bought off by trump to protect his NYC interests
But you’re acting like him getting off Scott free is a good thing
Trump wanted the case dismissed without prejudice. While Adams could very well end up still kissing Trumps ass, this makes it less likely as DOJ can’t resurrect the charges.
I never said him getting off Scott free is a good thing. I think he should face the charges.
this makes it less likely
Only if you think Adams is only doing all the stupid corrupt shit to make trump like him…
Sounds a lot more likely that he’s just a corrupt piece of shit like virtually every other NYC mayor or former NYPD. Especially since he was doing stupid corrupt shit when Biden was president
Trump wanted the case dismissed without prejudice.
Bolding something isn’t the same as linking a source…
The without prejudice part is in the article:
The DOJ had asked Ho to toss the case “without prejudice,” which would have allowed charges to be refiled against the mayor in the future.
As for why that could be bad:
Ho, in his order on Wednesday, wrote that dismissing the case without prejudice “would create the unavoidable perception that the Mayor’s freedom depends on his ability to carry out the immigration enforcement priorities of the administration.
The judge also said it would create the perception that Adams, who is seeking re-election this year, “might be more beholden to the demands of the federal government than to the wishes of his own constituents.”
“That appearance is inevitable, and it counsels in favor of dismissal with prejudice,” Ho wrote.
The judge noted that Adams requested a dismissal with prejudice, and that the DOJ had not opposed that motion, “effectively waiving any objection to permanent dismissal of this case.”
If he cared about, he’d have made noise about it not happening how he wanted…
Or more likely, had the DOJ oppose it
You’re stuck on “stick” being the only way one corrupt politician can I fluence another.
Adams would eat a carrot out of Trump’s ass, he doesn’t need a stick when the door is opened to more corruption.
For fucks sake, pay attention to more than a single letter
The TLDR isn’t conflicting at all with what you quoted…
Luigi Mangione did nothing wrong and we need more people like him. Hopefully, the people of NYC aren’t so stupid as to reelect a traitor/criminal like Adams again. If they do, they deserve to reap exactly what he sows.
Didn’t they elect Rudy Giuliani at some point
Former acting U.S. Attorney Danielle Sassoon, who resigned in February rather than follow through with an order to dismiss the case, told Attorney General Pam Bondi in a letter that at Adams’ lawyers at a meeting with her and top DOJ official Emil Bove “urged what amounted to a quid pro quo” in which the mayor would support Trump immigration enforcement efforts in exchange for dismissal of the case.
New York, New York. You got some work to do.
Of course as a resident of NYC I am angry about this. Not only is he a criminal but he’s also selling out the city to Trump. I would enjoy knowing how much he was squirming if the case was dismissed without prejudice like Trump wanted it to be, but I suppose it’s better that Trump has less control over him.
I do see a bit of humor in all this, because he accepted such small bribes.
From Wikipedia:
Adams took over $100,000 in bribes from Turkey in exchange for using his powers to help open the Turkevi Center. These bribes mostly took the form of free and discounted luxury travel benefits. These benefits included free hotel rooms, free meals at high-end restaurants, free entertainment while in Turkey, free and heavily discounted flights, and similarly free and discounted flight class upgrades.
I would understand why he might be tempted to give up his integrity and accept the possibility of being caught if large sums of money (millions at least) were involved, but $100,000 is less than his yearly salary would be in the NYPD and he didn’t even get it in cash! I don’t earn as much as an NYPD captain like him (but enough to be comfortable) and I would experience zero temptation to take such a risk even if I had no moral objection to bribery. If I was the mayor then I would even be offended by the offer - who do they think I am if they expect me to sell myself for so little?
He’s just a petty crook higher up in the world than he knows how to be. Pathetic.
Phew! I know Chuck Schumer and the DNC Party were WORRIED they Might have to Break Ties with him! But since he’s INNOCENT of the Corruption he Partook In they can KEEP him in the Ranks!
