    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.

      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…

    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.
