Homie, the guy was being investigate for corruption as far back as 2021:
I don't even know what he was charged with and I don't really care.. I saw a challenge and so I researched it.. but he also wasn't Mayor in 2021.. that position started in 2022..
And for the record, I believe most, if not all, politicians are corrupt. Both sides of the aisle.
They raise money to win an election or to win favor with someone.. and those people that donate usually want something in return. It's the nature of the beast as it is currently set up. Some of it is harmless.. a lot of it isn't..

Full heartedly agree, but if you get caught, you should be prosecuted. Hopefully they catch more rather than letting the ones they did off the hook.

One quiet morning, Mark cast his line into the calm lake, waiting for a bite. After a while, he felt a tug and reeled in a small, silver perch. Smiling, he carefully removed the hook, attaching the perch to his line as bait for something bigger.
He cast it farther out, watching the water ripple. Hours passed, but he stayed patient. Suddenly, his line jerked. Mark tightened his grip, his heart racing. With steady hands, he reeled in a massive bass, the perch still dangling from its mouth. It was the biggest catch of his life.

Onward.

See post below yours for an explanation it honestly cannot help you if you do not understand that DOJ attorneys under Biden were doing bad things

Learning about the backgrounds of Danielle Sassoon and Hagan Scotten. They’ve got really strong credentials.

The ONLY logical explanation for retaining the option to prosecute Adams is to retain political leverage over him.
Oh, so it's lawfare - the very thing Democrats have been doing. And now Sassoon is upset that it's not being used for her (Dem) agenda, it appears.

If they filed it as a motion to dismiss without prejudice, I wouldn't be surprised to see sanctions.
Yeah, like when they came down hard on the crooked prosecutors in the Ted Stevens case?

Having credentials and being politically motivated are not necessarily mutually exclusive

Saying they are politically movitaved and them being politically motivated are not the same thing either

THAT was horrible misconduct.
The motion has now been filed in the Adams case. Since they made it about policy and not much about lack of evidence against Adams, I doubt there will be sanctions. The Court might even grant the motion to dismiss.

??? It's not anything like the outrageous prosecutions of Trump. Those were straight up lawfare.
I'm just pointing out the obvious. That refusing to dismiss with prejudice is a means of exerting political control over Adams...which I am fine with...just don't pretend it is anything other than that.
As for Sassoon, I think you're barking up the wrong tree. She was appointed acting US Attorney for SDNY by Trump. She has a solid conservative background. She has not been involved with the decision to prosecute Adams in the first place.

False
She has a fake conservative background. See Romney, McCain, Ryan, Michael Steele, Colin Powell, McConnell, Liz Cheney, Murkowski, Collins, Kinzinger, Bill Kristol, The Bush family, etc
She was originally hired by Preet Brahara during the Obama admin. Who was fired by Trump for not tendering his resignation. She survived the entire 4 years of Biden, and refused Trump directives, exactly as Preet had done in 2017
Dont buy into the BS

Conclusion:
The claim that the Biden administration "retaliated" against Adams does not align with the actual timeline. The investigation began long before his anti-sanctuary city stance, meaning the charges were not directly linked to his immigration policies. However, political motivations could have influenced the timing or decision to indict him, but there is no concrete evidence of that at this point."
Seeing as how the timeline's dont match up, what evidence can you share that supports your claim?
Perhaps the investigation was designed to keep Adams in line, and nothing would have come out of it unless he'd kept his mouth shut.

Thanks for the warning, but I'm going with her clerkships with Scalia and Harvie Wilkinson.
Ultimately, though, doesn't matter. The uniform enforcement of Trump's policies is great. Have to crack some eggs to make an omlette. Even if she were an excellent, conservative prosecutor, small price to pay in losing her.

Emil Bove in his acceptance letter pointed out that she didnt understand Scalia if she was trying to use him as a defense to do what she did. He even included a Scalia citation to counter her point. Which she obviously wasnt well read enough to know it existed
quote:
In your letter to the Attorney General, you made the dubious choice to invoke Justice Scalia. As you are likely aware from your professional experience, Justice Scalia fully understood the risks of weaponization and lawfare:
Nothing is so politically effective as the ability to charge that one's opponent and his associates are not merely wrongheaded, naive, ineffective, but, in all probability, "crooks." And nothing so effectively gives an appearance of validity to such charges as a Justice Department investigation and, even better, prosecution.
Morrison v. Olson, 487 U.S. 654, 713 (1988) (Scalia, J., dissenting)
Another legal writer penned this, also demeaning Sasoons take
quote:
Sassoon is invoking the authority of Justice Scalia to defend her decision. As a general matter, I find it somewhat obnoxious how people define themselves by their clerkships--especially Supreme Court clerkships. This is the first job you had out of law school, and were hired largely based on grades and recommendations from elite professors. Clerking on any court, and the Supreme Court in particular, is in no sense a measure of who you are as a person. We over-fetishize clerking.
Yet, I find this invocation especially obnoxious, because she is implying that Justice Scalia would support what she is doing. How does she know? Did she hold a seance?

You know how much shat is stored on political opponents and stored for safe keeping? Where have you been? Kavanaugh and Trump with supposed sexual cases dating back decades???
Cuomo got a little to frisky with his hunt for a presidential candidate and me toos start falling from the sky.
Its politics, it never would have surfaced had he not balked at illegal alien murders, rapists, and thieves descending on his city.

I took a law school class from Scalia. He was a clear, consistent thinker. Bove's quote has nothing to do with Sassoon. She wasn't involved with charging or prosecuting Adams.
From a purely legal perspective (of which Scalia would have approved), her argument about dismissal without prejudice is spot on.
Anyhow, neither of us knows for sure whether she is conservative, liberal, or neutral. Ultimately, it doesn't matter. Win for Team Trump...at the cost of a good prosecutor OR with the benefit of elimination of a liberal activist.
