New York City Mayor Eric Adams is facing federal charges of bribery, fraud and soliciting a political contribution from a foreign national, according to an indictment that was unsealed on Thursday — a historic circumstance that comes after a months-long investigation.
Early Thursday, federal agents descended upon the mayor’s official residence, Gracie Mansion, member station Gothamistreported, citing law enforcement.
After the indictment was unsealed, Adams maintained his innocence, saying at an outdoor news conference that his legal team would “peruse the entire document.”
Things you won’t hear from Democrats:
This is a conspiracy!
The FBI is being political!
The evidence was AI generated!
But what about… (insert Republican bribes)?
This was a perfect and legal arrangement.
Everybody does it this way.
He should have executive immunity.
It can’t be true, because he’s too rich to bribe.
I don’t care, he’s good for the economy/going to deport illegals/someone I’d drink a beer with/going to protect gun owners and bigots.
Things you will hear from Democrats:
He’s guilty? Put him in jail.

I think you have a typo there. That question mark is supposed to be an exclamation point.
I don’t know that he’s guilty. I would guess he is, but I wouldn’t deny him a fair trial. If he’s guilty, send him to prison.
Sadly that’s more of an American thing. Guilty until proven innocent is only given to those the public likes. In the court of public opinion you’re guilty until proven innocent and a fair trial is only afforded to the likeable
Does not surprise me.
The Feds have a history of not indicting until they’re sure they have enough evidence to win. Either it took them a lot of searching or they found so much they had trouble getting it all in.
