This week, DOJ ordered the corruption case against NYC Mayor Eric Adams to be dropped partly because the charges “unduly restricted Mayor Adams’ ability to devote full attention and resources” to assisting with the admin’s immigration crackdown https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/02/13/nyregion/memo-from-bove-1.html

This has resulted in at least 6 DOJ lawyers resigning, rather than carry out these orders. But top DOJ officials reportedly threatened to fire the entire section devoted to prosecuting public corruption if nobody agreed to drop Adams' case https://www.reuters.com/world/us/federal-prosecutor-will-sign-motion-dismiss-adams-charges-bid-save-colleagues-2025-02-14/

This weaponizes criminal prosecutions, undermines efforts to fight corruption, and reinforces the perception that powerful people are above the law.

Congress needs to immediately investigate this. It’s funding & confirmations season—members of Congress have leverage to use.
