    Deals, compromises, and agreements in politics. I'll need time to process my emotions.

      Usually this don't include threats of prosecution hanging over ones head like a sword of Damocles. Seems rather lawfarish to me.

      Only non-witches get due process.

        @jon-nyc I'm happy that you've found an inner conviction against lawfare, but you accidentally wrote it like the Trump admin invented some flimsy charges and threatened him with them. I know you wouldn't want to imply something that wasn't true, so you're welcome for the correction.

          It depends on how one defines lawfare. At its most basic it strikes me that any use of the prosecutorial power for political purposes would qualify.

            One could argue there’s a civil equivalent too.

              Again, it's good that you've developed convictions against that sort of thing in politics.

                Nice try. From the beginning I said the NY case against Trump was shit.

                    One might ask who in the previous administration Adams was pissing off. I don't really know enough about it to say.

                        Interesting to see the libtard deep staters who resigned rather than suspend criminal charges against Adams for political gain.

                        First one was Danielle Sassoon, a Trump appointee, career FedSoc member and a former clerk for Anthony Scalia.

                        Next up was Hagan Scotten. He did three combat tours as a Special Forces officer in Iraq where he was twice awarded the Bronze Star. He came home, went to HLS and then clerked for Chief Justice Roberts.

                        The closing line of his letter: “I expect you’ll find someone who is enough of a coward to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

                              Just read that before he clerked for Roberts, Scotten clerked for Kavanaugh when he was still on the court of appeals. He wouldn’t have made it to Roberts office without a direct and very strong recommendation from Kavanaugh. I hope that weasel Bove is paying attention.

                                Sorry, but it's a win. Adam's may go down in defeat next election, but he's small potatoes in the big scheme of things.

                                There are 500,000 illegals in NYC. According to the state of New York:

                                There are many public benefits available to individuals regardless of their immigration status, including the following:

                                New York State Medicaid (only for pregnant individuals)
                                Section 8 housing, in some cases
                                Head Start programs
                                Free school meals
                                Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) benefits
                                Prenatal Care Assistance Program (PCAP)
                                Certain forms of cash assistance to obtain items such as clothing or toiletries

                                The above does not take into account NGOs spending Federal funds to give them further benefits.

                                “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

                                Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

                                    Surely it’s a win for those, like yourself, who love lawfare as long as the valence is correct.

                                      It cost $5B to take care of NYC illegals in 2024. In 2025, that cost is expected to double.

                                      I'd rather they take that money out of your wallet, not mine. You're supporting this, not me.

                                          https://www.politico.com/news/2025/02/18/eric-adams-judge-orders-prosecutors-00204658

                                          The federal judge overseeing the criminal case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams ordered the mayor and federal prosecutors to appear in court on Wednesday to discuss the Trump administration’s effort to drop the case, a move that has sparked a crisis within the Justice Department and chaos within the Adams administration.

                                          U.S. District Judge Dale Ho wrote in an order Tuesday that Adams, his lawyers and prosecutors should be prepared to discuss prosecutors’ rationale for seeking to dismiss the case, the reasons for Adams’ agreement to do so and the procedure for resolving the motion.
