The (Further) Corruption of Justice under Donald Jethro Trump

 

Mayor Adams

New York Mayor Eric Adams was indicted in September on charges including bribery, fraud, and soliciting illegal foreign campaign contributions. He pleaded not guilty and took a page from Trump's playbook, alleging he was being targeted because he had criticized Joe Biden's immigration policies.

Subsequently, Adams sucked up to Trump at Mar-a-Lago and got prominent seating at Trump's inauguration. Trump had already opined publicly that he thought Adams was being targeted unfairly by the "weaponized" Justice Department under Joe Biden.

And get this: Smart guy Adams hired Alex Spiro to head up his defense. Spiro is the personal lawyer for Elon Musk. You get how "justice" under Trump is going to work, right?

Now Maggie Haberman et al. is reporting that "senior Justice Department officials under President Trump have held discussions with federal prosecutors in Manhattan about the possibility of dropping their corruption case against Adams." So what do you think is going to happen?
