Eric Adams indicted

[Winehole23]

I have a feeling Judge Ho might not see eye to eye with Emil Bove on political expedience trumping the interests of justice wrt prosecuting a strong public corruption case.

Something short of an outright dismissal, will be interesting to see the order

A federal judge has vacated the upcoming trial date for New York City Mayor Eric Adams, but declined to immediately dismiss the charges all together in a case that has roiled the Justice Department.

Judge Dale Ho, however, is appointing conservative attorney Paul Clement to present arguments challenging the Justice Department’s decision to drop charges against Adams.

Like I said:::they're going to keep this on life support as long as possible...there is no reason to end it and take the risk of Adams clearing out the dead beat illegals at Trump's behest. And Adams is all for it staying on life support as well. "I can't help it, Mr. President. I can't do anything until I'm cleared by the Governor."
If he wins reelection the Governor will continue to stall. If Adams loses, the deal twixt Trump/Adams is null and the new Mayor will be a hard ass illegal lover.

***If they can find a link, a glimmer of heat back to the President in a Watergate fashion, they'll run like the wind with it.

former Solicitor general Paul Clement recommends dismissal with prejudice

Clement noted that if Ho were to deny the motion, prosecutors "could quite literally run out the speedy-trial clock," leaving him with no choice
If he sought to compel the prosecution, "it would leave the President with one last card to play—namely, the pardon power"

True, but it was worth the old college try.

(They) saw thru it though in quick order and put the kibosh on it, toot-sweet.

Your side ain't no country preachers that's for damn sure.

Yeah, he got the fear of prison deep in his Black bones and is done. done-done. (They) tried that same tact on Trump's White bones. What'd DJT do? Made President again. "How's that for wet work, huh?"

Fredo's brother will be the new Mayor, and Fredo will get a fresh hand down.
