And by the way, crime in NY is near historic lows. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Spiralvortexisalie@lemmy.world -47 points 2 years ago (3 children) Hey I am reserving judgement til paperwork comes out. That does not change the sentiment amongst city employees that this was a hit job, and even the final papers may not answer that.

You’ve already jumped to spreading an outlandish theory that has no evidence behind it. That’s not what I would consider reserving judgment. Will you disavow this theory if no evidence subsequently emerges? permalink fedilink source parent [–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago (1 child) You're expecting a paper labeled "Biden hit job plan" at the top in crayon, or..? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Spiralvortexisalie@lemmy.world -31 points 2 years ago (4 children) I want to see what is being alleged. If this turns out to be the equivalent of parking tickets taken to a federal level it should be easy to draw conclusions. The Mayor has so far disavowed any criminal conduct, and even the acab crowd grilling him can’t guesstimate what the charges are. Regardless lets not act like all these DoJ buzz didn’t start after Adams called out Biden, since then a multitud of invasive investigations and house raids searching for?

There is rumor that he accepted campaign money and travel from the country of Turkey, which is really really bizarre. That ain't "parking tickets". Both NYC Democrats and Republicans are calling him an absent leader who needs to resign.15 people in his administration are under investigation by the FBI. Multiple people in his administration are or have resigned. 9 and counting NYC councilpeople and NY assemblypeople have asked for him to resign because he isn't an effective leader of the city and region. State senators have requested that he resign. Even if he wants to stay, with such a quorum, he is effectively politically impotent. But yeah, let's wait until federal officials announce the charges today. He should still resign. permalink fedilink source parent [–] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago* This set of comments have already aged like milk. Mayor Eric Adams of New York City has been indicted on federal charges of bribery conspiracy, fraud and soliciting illegal foreign campaign donations. Illegal campaign donations funnelled through shell orgs as well as gifts, flights, hotels, etc etc. He attempted to hide the gifts, flights, hotels, etc with nominal purchases. The only person who had it out for Adams was Adams. permalink fedilink source parent [–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Corruption charges are a big deal. You can speculate all you want about the reason they are being brought but it just sounds like the ramblings of a conspiracy theorist honestly.
