Chalk up another 2024 record. The New York Times ran the story yesterday headlined, “
Eric Adams Is Indicted After Federal Corruption Investigation.” Believe it or not, Adams just made history as the first sitting New York City mayor to be indicted while still in office, which admittedly is slicing it pretty thin.
Ironically, as the Times gleefully pointed out, former cop Adams, 64, was elected NYC’s Mayor running on an
anti-corruption platform. One of his campaign taglines was a promise to “return
swagger” to the Mayor’s office; a dig, presumably at his predecessor Bill DeBlasio, whose gait might be more accurately described as a waddle.
Somehow, Adams has swaggered himself right into a federal indictment.
The indictment is sealed, probably because most of Adam’s administration is also under investigation. Federal prosecutors promised more details will be forthcoming today. For his part, Adams claimed that he’s being set up
because he fought corruption so hard:
Sooner or later, Adams must surrender for processing. As the S.S. Mayor continues taking on water, Adams’ allies are jumping ship and calling for his resignation. Yesterday, for instance, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she could “not see how Mayor Adams can continue” in his job.
Based on who else the FBI has been raiding, Adam’s indictment seems to have something to do with all those official trips he took to Turkey, which is exactly how you’d expect a New York City mayor to spend his time and taxpayer dollars during a pandemic. We’ll know more soon.
Eric Adams went to Turkey, and now he
is a turkey, and is being buttered up for Thanksgiving dinner.
In closing, I’m sure Eric’s indictment has nothing to do with
this:
