AOC for the win on this. She was prescient. He needs to step down.
Eric Adams downfall. I'm here for it.
Hes FAWKED. This stuff goes back 10 years!
Lmao. I love it.
Turns out they broke Stringer Bell Rules
First mayor to be criminally charged, so far. NY sure knows how to pick em.
Oh snap. Guess he won't be on Morning Joe any more lmao.
What? The Supreme Court didn’t grant immunity for mayors for ”official” acts?
Lmao.
Everytime they had this asshole on, I was like, "Why are you asking this corrupt bastard his opinion?"
So leaks are saying foreign money, so maybe this is related to the Turkey thing, but other articles are claiming the feds were seeking information about straw-donor funnels from a whole bunch of other countries.
I think the most interesting piece will be hearing about the "why". He's a mayor, so his ability to give influence to foreign countries is pretty limited, even being mayor of NY. They must have evidence of quid-pro-quo I would think.
What was the Turkey thing?
This is a big enough story I think I'll pin it for a bit.
@Rapidcreek@lemmy.world - a winner is you!
