    “I cannot tell you how much I start the day with telling my team we’ve got to follow the law,” he told reporters at the time.

        Totally normal thing to do. Like when my boss accused me of showing up to work drunk, I told him, “I start every morning telling my people ‘hey, I’m going to work not drunk today’”

      That would be like me at a house party saying “Hey man, great party! Lots of people here, great selection of booze, I didn’t shit in the closet, and are those cocktail weinee’s???”

      One of those things shouldn’t need to be said…

      It’s… Hey sir (I use that term lightly) this isn’t a thing you should have to tell people you shouldn’t give off the vibe or hire people who wouldn’t.

        You never had morning meetings at your retail job where the pep talk was “Let’s get out there and do our best, and whatever you do, guys, remember not to violate the law today”?

    The FBI seized Adams’ electronic devices as part of an investigation into whether his 2021 mayoral campaign’s fundraising.

    That’s some expert journalism right there.

      Expert editing.

      That’s one of the primary functions of the editor. Depending on the outfit though, editorial oversight may not be required or even a thing really. Publishing approval may be from the writer directly, which also likely means no one else read over it after it was completed to find easily avoidable issues from rephrasing and reorganizing sentences.

      I don’t see the problem. Did his 2021 mayoral campaign’s fundraising or did his 2021 mayoral campaign’s not fundraising?

      It’s goodly perfection English!

    Okay, as someone who’s never set foot in New York City, is it really that difficult for them to elect a mayor who’s not a giant hunk of fuck?

    He’s better then Rudy Ghoulani, but I’m glad to see the shittiest person to hold that office isn’t the bare minimum a moderate has to beat to be above the law.

    Does he stay mayor if he is convicted? I know the system is slow enough it probably won’t matter, just curious.

    Also, about damn time. Adams sucks and is obviously corrupt.

    We will see in the morning, but everyone in New York is already saying this was a Biden hit job. Its not even a whisper, every group chat is screaming that Joe Biden is doing this in retaliation for Eric Adams standing up against the Biden migrants, it is still very early but this only seems to hurt Harris support and fuel the Adams haters (which lets be honest they are never happy, ie Tiffany Caban says defund police while people get robbed at gunpoint eating in front of her office)
