Not enough attn to this. Main Justice ordered New York office (SDNY) to drop the charges agst Eric Adams on Monday. Most - me included - thought that meant it was done. Already happened. But as of right now no one has filed a motion to drop the charges. We're going on three days later.

Apparently, delay of 10 months is by design to force mayor to cooperate in illegals roundup.
Perhaps. That is 1 of 2 possibilities.
The other possibility is that the DOJ is currently embroiled in chaos and the fallout from all that chaos is incompetence
I mean, of course she'll do it, but she'll never be able to un-shake the Devil's hand.

One of the best aged posts on Bluesky atm.
Bondi just found out today when the press asked her why it hadn’t yet happened.
Duh
Why was NY so dumb? Adams is Trumplite

Adams sucked trump's dick knowing they are both the same transactional douchebags
Adams deserves whatever he gets
I have no fking idea why she won't
neither, State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, nor state Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie have commented on the charges.
Also, recent ballot charter changes gutted what little power the City Council had.
I love the implications

Why?
It’s a reputation killer in reputable legal circles.
Would a young Alito or Thomas be in that group?
Tagging my fave, @npr.org who yesterday filed a long story about the charges being dropped, as a fait accomplit. I know there’s a lot to cover, but this is really important.
F*ckin nuts
On Bluesky we should say what we fucking mean, and sim to spell it god damn correctly.
Ffs what a time to typo.
I doubt they’ve got every misspelling I manage to make in a day in there though. I’ll delete and repost of it hits a word like rape, shit, suicide, etc.
Aim is probs not on many lists
Bad actors may find a way to exploit the system, but I’m still gonna side with supporting accessibility for the people it helps.
Sounds very quid pro quo-ish to me…hmmmmm
But I did find on the official government DOGE page, Noam clawed back the FEMA money.
The page is a scrolling stream of lies too
the law or the process. judges don't do this lawyers do.
Does she want to be the equivalent of Elliott Richardson or Robert Bork in Sat Nite Massacre?

If she has ambitions to rise within DOJ or to be a federal judge (her husband is in finance so it is not a matter of her having to be a BigLaw partner to pay the bills) she signs off on the dismissal
If she stands up to Trump she can be fired/resign & be a BigLaw partner as Sally Yates did
If she caves to Trump she can be a BigLaw partner (prestige firms like Sullivan & Cromwell now represent Trump) or get a federal judgeship/have a DOJ future
Props to Ms Sassoon

Does anyone really think he wd merit the same consideration as wd “The Shaman”, Mr “Camp Auschwitz”, & Stewart Rhodes (whose seditious conspiracy conviction was commuted by DJT in a snap). Of course, they were white.
You know, because "DEI".
No one left knows how anything works.
democratic party machine only knows dirty pool; if she thought it’d be advantageous to her, he’d be out in a minute. but why get rid of the guy too stupid to get away with corruption in ny politics? comparatively, she looks—not
great, but less openly awful

Once he is of no use to Trump they will prosecute.
…do it.
Meanwhile the NYDA can bring State charges of campaign fraud and kickbacks.
And, Trump can't do anything about it.
Two sides of the same corrupt NYers coin.
and apparently so far
no lawyer is willing
to put their name
on such an awful
document
eventually they might
draw straws to see
who gets to tank
their reputation
in legal circles
Did you hear that the Trump admin just straight up stole $80 million from NYC? Like took money already deposited out of a private bank account for the city.
