I've lost count, but I think Adam's has 5 separate investigations into his activities.

There’s a long list alright. The one that pissed me off the most was when he reappropriated library funds to build a cop city.

Completely out of the loop on this one... Do we think he's corrupt or that corrupt people are pushing him out because he's not corrupt?

[-] Not_mikey@slrpnk.net 31 points 2 days ago

He staffed his administration with a bunch of cronies and they've been up to various extortion and pay for play schemes. I'm unaware of he himself has gotten directly caught up in anything.

I'm unaware of he himself has gotten directly caught up in anything.

Does it even matter at this point? He's clearly a terrible judge of character and can't be trusted to find good people to run the city.

Once a cop…

This indictment is about him knowingly and illegally taking campaign funds from foreign countries. He's up to something already.

He may also be involved in the "buy favors from city hall" scheme most of his direct reports were engaged in, but that is still unknown.

Pretty sure he is a retired police captain

I mean innocent until proven guilty and such, but this guy has always been a dope and should never have been elected. I still think Katherine Garcia would have been a better pick.

It’ll be interesting to see what clown the GOP runs against him this time. They could possibly have a decent chance (remember, NYC GOP is generally much more moderate than national level) but it’ll inevitably be some idiot who’s never done anything.

I wonder if he gets a primary challenger.

Also, if NYC were a country, it would be ranked 13th in GDP globally and THESE are the people we get to choose from to run it.

No, let the clown show ride. It’s too entertaining. But she’s probably right.
