So is NYT capping for Eric Adams? Trying to find something to exonerate him? Someone smarter than me please explain my brain is melting in fury

This just looks like a standard press-access request to me! They push courts to release more information in high-profile cases all the time

I'm pretty sure that they are calling BS on the DOJ's attempt to throw Adams' prosecutors under the bus. They want to know how silly their pretext is.

(The behavior documented in the sealed exhibits does not actually sound particularly troubling.) https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.628916/gov.uscourts.nysd.628916.160.0_1.pdf

So it's just... someone else speculating without evidence about partial motivations behind prosecution?

I fear the headline will be more serious than the content, and will spread like wildfire without anyone reading past it.

Bribery evident in original case. What part of taking Turkish money to look away as a Turkish business man skips rules to keep patrons safe is not corruption?

So it sounds like the prosecutors felt personally motivated to do their job?

Wonder what McCraw writes to himself and his peers detailing his motivation.
