The New York Times is reporting that a federal indictment is soon to be unsealed against New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Details of the indictment are unknown.
New York Times – Eric L. Adams, a retired police captain who was elected as New York City’s 110th mayor nearly three years ago on a promise to rein in crime, has been indicted following a federal corruption investigation, people with knowledge of the matter said on Wednesday.
The indictment remained sealed on Wednesday night, and it was unclear what charge or charges Mr. Adams will face. But when they are made public, he will become the first New York City mayor to be criminally charged while in office.
The indictment promised to reverberate across the nation’s largest city and beyond, plunging Mr. Adams’s embattled administration further into chaos just months before he is set to face challengers in a hotly contested mayoral primary. (read more)
How did they funnel foreign money? ActBlue?
Probably.
I’m unsure in this specific case; however massive criminal money laundering was done via charitable donations, such as the Clinton Foundation, and many politicians set up similar “charitable” foundations.
Somebody forgot to pay his protection dues…
I.e. 10% for the Big Guy
NYT Sept 25 article: What Happens If Mayor Eric Adams Resigns?
Archived NYT article here==> https://archive.is/3IW2D
“If Mayor Eric Adams were to resign, New York City’s public advocate, Jumaane Williams, would become the acting mayor.
Within three days of becoming mayor, Mr. Williams would name a date for a special election to pick a new mayor, according to the city’s charter. The nonpartisan election could be held within 90 days. The city’s relatively new ranked-choice voting system, in which voters can rank multiple candidates, would be used.”
This scenario might actually give Curtis Sliwa a chance (albeit still small) to win…
Because ballot will not show Party designation…
Low info voters always vote D in NYC…
May now vote on name recognition only…and Sliwa will have the most.
Yes, but…
…they’re using that Rank (Smells!) system.
Things never go well when leftists utter the word “choice.”
Yes, you’re right of course…big factor…that’s why it’s still a small chance.
Rancid Choice means they keep voting until the one they want wins 🙂
I am going to start the day out with Rancid ” And Out Come The Wolves”! Thanks, bro!
Great album!
Wouldn’t that be sweet if Sliwa did win?!
It seems as if Adams’ complexion is no longer his protection… to paraphrase Sliwa.
And noncitizens can vote.
Ranked choice is a horrible way to vote. All it does is cement in a permanent democrat majority.
Ranked choice voting system – bad stuff.
Pissed off the wrong people. The truth will never come out.
The Southern District of New York has indicted Mayor Adam’s. What do we know about this federal office?
“What do we know about this federal office?”
That it’s as honest as the day is long????
Yeah, honest. Definitely not corrupt slime bags who would sell their mother for a buck.
$.50
they are experts in dislodging anything trapped in a rectum, orgies, and anything accidentally shaped like a noose.
Trace back all the toppers to the DOJ that were “groomed” in SDNY as last stop before DC. The list is impressive. SDNY is Manhattan as opposed to EDNY which is The Bronx/Brooklyn(?) possibly Queens etc.
Byt SDNY covers Wall Street and NYSE etc.
The interesting part of this story @Sundance is that the FBI went and raided the homes of the Mayor’s new NYPD Police Commissioner 5 days ago, a week after the police commissioner was sworn into office. The irony is that Thomas Donlon the new NYPD Police Commissioner, is a former big shot FBI Agent and a major Homeland Security guy. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_G._Donlon suspicious cat right now
Donlan served in the NY State version of DHS, not the Federal DHS. Spent his FBI career working the counter-terrorism grift. Helped make sure the wrong people got blamed for 911. Went into corporate security. Has apparently known Adams since 2009. Wanted to fire some top NYPD people, Adams said no. Don’t see why any city would want a former FBI Agent as commissioner.
Agreed! I’m still suspicious cat about why the FBI would go and do a New York City mob/mafia style shakedown on their former FBI boy Thomas Donlon.
It just does not scan.
WHY are they hassling the Mayor of New York?
He has been facilitating – as best he can – the influx of the illegal aliens into NYC, with all the costs of that –
where did he go wrong?
The purported rationale for the indictment, regarding the Turkish consulate – there is something there that does not make sense – wouldn’t the State Department have been in on the planning for this? This could have been in the works back to the time of Hillary’s reign at the State Dept.
My own theory – the Mayor has been getting ready to throw his support to Donald Trump, to see God knows how he can fix this situation for NYC – maybe he is exhausted to the point of anemia – maybe someone with new energy, Andrew Cuomo, could step in to the Mayoral office and help turn this around, working with President Trump and new leadership in Albany.
New York is going to go “red” and so the usual suspects have to play games . . . bad, dirty games.
Defecting to Trump? Possible. Adams was a cop before entering politics.
Maybe: this is the Eff-B-I’s attempt to demonstrate their impartiality and non-partisanship.
Or–Okham’s Razor, perhaps?– the corruption was so blatant and widespread they just had to act.
Just occurred to me: see how reflexively we turn to hidden machinations and conspiracy theories?
Experience and recent history.
The Black Democrat Mayor of Dallas Texas announced several months ago his switch to the Republican Party, and in his speech announcing his switch and reasons why, he encouraged/invited other big city mayors to join him.
Pretty effectively made the case that our big cities are a mess, as a direct result of Democrat rule.
Sorry I can’t link to his speech.
Anyway, maybe this IS politics, as I recall, the Dallas Mayors announcing his switch was right around the time the Mayor of NYC spoke out against the flooding of illegals, followed by the initial announcement he was under investigstion.
They may have feared a flood of Big City Mayors abandoning the party?
As for this b.s. with Turkey, I just assume the FBI spends its time collecting and hoarding evidence of such graft, to use as blackmail on any politician they need to control.
And a timely indictment when needed.
“Reality Theories”-JP Sears
Many people suspect it was the close association he had with Sean Diddy Combs whom he gave the key to the city to in 2023
P. Diddy was arrested recently in a hotel in NYC
Sam Bankman Fried & Diddy are cell mates now. Add Eric Adams to the club.
What were the odds on this trifecta?
Who is next?
CRH…?????
Somewhere on Twitter late last night there was a couple mentions that sometimes today would be six indictments in NYC
One was for Mayor Eric Adams. They didn’t name the other five….. but theere were recent FBI raids on other persons in city government and perhaps it is them who will also be indicted.
Brag and James!
And Merchan, please.
Coming soon to the headlines: Three people who didn’t commit suicide.
Exactly.
Whoa! “The Key Master” and “The Gay-te Keeper” kinda like the original “Ghostbusters”??
“the Mayor has been getting ready to throw his support to Donald Trump”
Wow! You’re really smokin’ some good stuff.
Time will tell!
Yep, more likely he refused a direct order to go after Trump for something.
It would be volcanic if he turned on the Dems and accused them of weaponizing the DOJ.
You said this was going to happen many moons ago
When Adams criticized the Biden administration over the illegals, I knew he was cooked then and said so on a thread here. This is how dangerous a Harris regime would be. Criticize them legitimately once, and they will never forget, even if you come to heel as Adams eventually did.
And watch who throws their hat in the mayoral race for the special election: CANKLES CLINTON.
Yes! Cankles has to be steaming at the idea of anyone else being the first woman President!
The first President that nobody elected.
No one elected Ford.
Andrew Cuomo was recently interviewed with an eye on the NYC Mayor’s job…🤔
Oh God no!
“Eric L. Adams, a retired police captain”
I suspect the DOJ/FBI were well aware of issues with him as a police captain, but let him be until he mouthed off about open borders.
I believe it was his police commissioner who was forced to resign, then the interim replacement, a former FBI guy named Donlon had his house raided a week after being named interim.
Not sure how long Donlon will last.
All I can say is….. this is so exciting!
🙂 Sunny daze!
I just saw his statement. Bro, first they came for Trump and YOU stayed silent. Now look 👀
The unexercised trap house pitbull came back to bite didn’t it?
Tiff, like all useful idiots, Eric believed the hammer and sickle would not be used against him; being the idiots, they genuinely believe they are the same as those wielding the hammer and those cutting others down with the sickle until it is too late.
We see the same type of useful idiot support KH; they, too, believe that they are the same as the wielders… until they find out they are not. The idiots then cry out, looking for help from the very people they ignored and slandered at the behest of those who used them.
This is related to P. Diddy.
I think so. But we will never know.
Getting down to the ‘Diddy Gritty” has been disturbing enough thus far.
Why Bob Menendez? But when you consider it you realize you can’t think of them as being monolithic. The Nazis and Bolsheviks were ruthless internally with their power struggles.
No honor among thieves.
SEE STORY..THE NIGHT OF THE LONG KNIVES… GERMANY OF JULY 1934……
Jack Smith had the first shot at Menendez and lost the verdict. Two other high profile political cases were later blown by stone loser Smith, including an 8-0 beatdown by SCOTUS.
All high and mighty now.
He sure didn’t feel that way about PDJT now did he!
All I can say to Adams is, in my best John McClain voice, Welcome to the party, pal!
Trump laughs.
Wasn’t that grand of him?
/s
Suge Knight claims Diddy was involved with the FBI his entire career, and that Obama got Diddy’s partner out of jail, having to do with drug money.
Ah Ha! The Diddler must’ve fallen behind on his “Kilo Of The Month For Life” deal to The Bammer!! Then the hammers come out..
It’s a sign of the times. When I see this headline, I don’t think that the untouchable G-men caught a dirty mayor. I think mayor Adams made somebody angry, perhaps not giving the big guy his 10%. My inclination is to suspect the indictment more than the person indicted here. And I don’t like Eric Adams at all.
Yep. It is surprising how one’s attitude toward someone can shift if one thinks that someone is the target of a corrupt regime. Even though one doesn’t like or trust that targeted someone.
It becomes automatic; take the narrative they are pushing, then go 180 degrees from there, as your starting point for finding the truth, and you will be pretty close.
Just like whatever they accuse others of doing, they have, are or are planning on doing, count on it .
Both can exist together; Eric can be a POS human being, and he can be targeted by a corrupt and fraudulent group of people running our government.
I don’t care how much of a POS a person happens to be in life; for me, a corrupt government using all the tools at its disposal is far worse than one scumbag human being. I don’t have to like Eric, but I don’t think anyone should become the victim of an authoritarian, rouge government. Eric only impacts Eric and those around him; that government can kill us all.
I read many comments on this thread where people who are very understanding that Trump is the victim of corrupt prosecutions by Marxists using the power of government agencies to go after him but then don’t want to believe this can’t be the case here, because, they don’t like Eric Adams because of him being a scum bag.
Part of the diddy investigation?
Diddler,…its the DIDDLER investigation.
I’ve read that the final count of diddlers will be many dozens.
Sean Diddy Combs was an FBI asset during his entire music career
Frankly, I think Adam’s biggest crime was how he did NOT live up to his campaign promises WRT crime. Unless it involves corruption, kids or animals I don’t much care what he does in his spare time.
And where, may I ask, is suspicious cat ?
Somewhere in Ohio doing field observation.
Eric Adams was at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for a reception with President Biden and other world leaders on the same night his federal corruption indictment became public
Well…..that was awkward.
Meticulous planning.
Not a coincidence.
Shivved in the back, hey!
^^^ Same “celebrity chef” Jose Andres seen recently in a pic with ( of all people ) Ryan Routh! the *purported* attempted assassin.
This is very strange stuff indeed.
Gee, could this have anything to do with Adams criticizing the Biden administration about all the illegals flooding into the the city and what a crappy job they’re doing on the border? It seems as though all his troubles started right after he complained.
Indicted?!?!?!
Hahahahhaha
Bwahahahahha
Hahahahha!
More belly laughs right here!
Oh I can’t stop laughing!
Aahahahahaha!
Have a nice day Mayor.
Hahhahahah!
A big “Thank you!” to Gov. Abbott for laying the kindling for this fire.
The Turkish angle is interesting. If you recall, that’s what they used to trip up Flynn. I suspect this has more to do with sending Erdogan a message. Unlike Trump, who delivered the economic version of pound sand when he didn’t play ball with US interests, the Deep State can’t because they have to pretend NATO is a thing (which Turkey is a part of). The question is what is the message?
Turkey has its fingers in multiple pies, from European migration to the Israel/Hamas conflict. Clearly they’re doing something to piss off the blob…
Yes “Azra Turk” ( what’s in a name!? )
“The woman, who used the name Azra Turk, was working for the feds when she posed as a research assistant who wanted to discuss foreign policy with Trump adviser George Papadopoulos.” In a bar, over drinks. lol.
House of cards falling from the bottom up?
He pissed the cabal off. They are taking him out.
Golly Eric, it appears your usefulness to the psychotic globalist cabal has come to an end. Got any dirt you’d care to share?
Adams knows how fast ground glass can end up in an inmates foodtrays..
My first question now is always “Who did he cross?” It’s sad, but we know the alphabet agencies are not doing good work for the country. If a democrat gets indicted, we know it’s because he didn’t follow the script.
Can it be that P Diddler was an intelligence asset much in the way Epstein and Maxwell(s) were/are?
Cui Bono, why now and how high will it go up the food chain??
Yes.
He is claimed to have been FBI asset during his entire music career.
Anthony Weiner could pull a Marion Barry and rise from the dung heap of failed politicians.
Circling the drain. NYC, Philadelphia, Chicago, Baltimore, Washington D. C.. You get what you vote.
Is this one of those “throw the masses some red meat to keep them from seeing what we are doing” moments?
We all know the SDNY is more corrupt than just about any other agency in NY, so is this to throw everyone off the scent?
P. Diddy, did receive The key to the City, from Adams. So there’s that.
Hizzoner Da Mayor is being punished for having the audacity to ask the Harris/Biden administration for more money to deal with the huge batch of illegal immigrants that were shipped into his city.
He needs to go. He’s doing nothing for NY residents! Crime is 3x” worse! Another POS demoncrat!
Well then all of Congress belongs in jail.
Mayor Adams spoke out against illegals being sent to NYC, and was going to send fliers to the border to discourage them from coming to the Big Apple.
And now he’s being indicted for crimes that would’ve been swept under the rug otherwise…
Yet never a look at Di Blasio?
This is a house cleaning by the machine to move its controlled players back into control.
Adams may have complained about the migrants sent to NYC, but did he have to put them up in 4 and 5 star hotels?
Nice to know the three letter agencies have the time and resources to keep an eye on such things as they are too busy and under maned to stop shooters from try to kill President Trump.
nothing But corruption of NY liberal politics,I’m sure there is more to go,
He complained about illegals in his city. Suddenly he is under investigation for a sexual harassment claim, decades old…and the FBI confiscates the cell phones of his inner circle. His inner circle starts resigning at the same time Sean “Diddy” Combs’s body guard states there is a lot of “video” of NY politicians. FBI throws a bag over the P-Diddy operation to inventory and maintain their leverage.
He has been targeted for takedown, because he dared to question the federal Empire.
Old Eric Adams PSA commercial on how to find your kids’ contraband, comes back to haunt him.

RE: a Turkish connection, anybody ever hear of
Muhammed Fethullah Gülen. He is in exile in Saylorsburg PA. His org runs a network of Islamic schools. Been watching him, obviously someone’s property.
A Turkish criminal court has issued an arrest warrant for Gülen in 2016,[33][34] and Turkey is demanding his extradition from the United States.[35][36][37] U.S. government officials do not believe he is associated with any terrorist activity, and have requested evidence to be provided by the Turkish government to substantiate the allegations in the warrant requesting extradition, frequently rejecting Turkish calls for his extradition.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fethullah_G%C3%BClen
Michael Flynn has not commented on this development yet.
This is a serious control action. Deep State cannot permit major urban dissenters this close to the election. The dam might break.
They risk much charging this guy, but risk all if they don’t.
They are terrified.
