Sasson letter to AG Bondi basically says Acting Assistant AG Emil Bove engaged in illegal and unconstitutional conduct in asking for dropping the indictment:

Dems nationally should be labeling this AdamsGate and Thursday Night Massacre and calling for impeachment

AOC has called on Adams to resign and highlighted the danger to our rights of having a felon in debt to Trump running the City.

While other top national NY Dems, including Hakeem Jeffries, remain largely silent on Adams

AOC might not be the only Democrat with an actual spine... but it sure feels that way a lot of the time, doesn't it?

Number of Trump administration officials refusing to sign off on the illegal dismissal of charges against Adams now up to six.

Can't believe there are six Trump appointees with integrity and zero in Albany

But then Hochul would rather have conservative corrupt Adams in office than allow a progressive like Jumaane Williams - the Public Advocate - to become mayor

Hochul got her job because of Andrew Cuomo and wants to make sure Cuomo has a clear chance to become NYC mayor

Judge Ho who oversees Adams case could refuse to accept dismissal of the indictment. Relevant case is RINALDI v. UNITED STATES,(1977) where Court said discretion extremely narrow EXCEPT in where dismissal is "tainted with impropriety" - exactly this situation.

Props to Lt. Gov. Anthony Delgado calling for Adams to resign. Didn't call on Hochul to remove him - but puts a lot more public pressure on Hochul that even her hand-picked Lt. Gov. thinks Adams remaining in office is corrupt

The governor should remove Adams and end this.

AOC regularly impressed me.

AOC...fearless and right. We can count on her.

I can't understand why she doesn't attack Hochul (and Schumer and Jeffries, probably). The establishment dem thing is to follow what she does but too late for it to be any good and to never give her credit or leadership positions. This is going to keep happening until she does something different
