If we're ending "weaponization" of the Justice Dept, is arbitrarily dropping serious charges against political "friends" consistent with that? Or is it reverse weaponization (corruption) that ensures JD looks the other way if the White House doesn't wish to inconvenience the perp du jour?
Trump finds sympathy with Adams because being prosecuted for fraud is something Trump relates to. Fraudulent birds of a feather definitely stick together.
“Rather than restricting cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as Adams once promised, he has expressed a willingness to roll back the city’s so-called sanctuary policies and pledged not to publicly criticize a president whose policies he once described as “abusive.” NY Times
Is this a veiled threat against the Mayor? "We are dropping the charges without prejudice, meaning we can refile them. Do what we want on immigration."
The DOJ dismissing charges against Adams reeks of political favoritism. Trump’s influence looms large, undermining justice. Corruption thrives when loyalty to power trumps accountability.
