This simple story of the Mayor of New York City has more twists and turns. Since he is up for re-election, one has to wonder why the voters aren’t left with the task of dispatching him, and why is Hochul determined to make him a cause celeb for herself. Then we have the twist of Trump stepping in and giving him a pass and pulling off the feds and their dogs.
Axios reports: New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) said she’s meeting with “key leaders” at her Manhattan office Tuesday to discuss a “path forward” after four top officials in NYC Mayor Eric Adams‘ administration resigned.
Why it matters: Hochul said in her Monday statement the resignation of First Deputy Mayor Maria Torres-Springer and the other officials “raises serious questions about the long-term future” of Adams’ administration and acknowledged she has the power to remove the mayor from office.
The big picture: Torres-Springer and deputy mayors Meera Joshi, Chauncey Parker and Anne Williams-Isom resigned after a top Justice Department official requested federal prosecutors drop federal bribery and fraud charges against the indicted mayor and Adams’ cooperation with the Trump administration on border security.
- The mayor, who has denied any wrongdoing in the case and pleaded not guilty to all charges, has resisted pressure to resign.
Zoom in: Hochul noted that “in the 235 years of New York State history,” the governor’s power to remove an elected had never been used and that “overturning the will of the voters is a serious step that should not be taken lightly.”
This video was done four months ago, but Dan gives a great overview of the full extent of whatever is going down. I say something doesn’t smell right here.
All in all the swamp is working overtime with this poor fellow. What say you? What’s the deal?
