Everyone (well, everyone with a sliver of a brain) knew this creep was as corrupt as they come, but brain dead New Yorkers chose pig Eric Adams over the better option, Kathryn Garcia, back during the primary in 2021, and now they’ve got a soon-to-be convicted felon who took bribes from fucking Turkey as their mayor. Congrats. Via MSNBC:
And here’s the dirty cop acting all tough, saying he’s going to fight the charges. Good luck:

Via ABC:
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has the power to remove Adams from office, although she did not immediately return a request for comment Wednesday night.
Adams, the police officer turned politician, along with members of his inner circle has spent nearly a year under the cloud of federal investigations.
His cell phones were seized and, in recent weeks, the residences of some of his closest confidants were searched by federal agents working on several related corruption probes.
The mayor two weeks ago, accepted the resignation of Edward Caban, his handpicked police commissioner, after the authorities issued a subpoena for his phones.
This bitch is cooked. And given that he’s been indicted by the Southern District of New York, maybe he’ll be sent to the MDC with Austin Wolf and Puffy Combs when he’s arrested tomorrow.
