Hey I am reserving judgement til paperwork comes out. That does not change the sentiment amongst city employees that this was a hit job, and even the final papers may not answer that. But it does remind me of the Stasi considering everything that has occurred.
I want to see what is being alleged. If this turns out to be the equivalent of parking tickets taken to a federal level it should be easy to draw conclusions. The Mayor has so far disavowed any criminal conduct, and even the acab crowd grilling him can’t guesstimate what the charges are. Regardless lets not act like all these DoJ buzz didn’t start after Adams called out Biden, since then a multitud of invasive investigations and house raids searching for? Every other person irl has mentioned House of Cards, Lemmy downvotes me for reporting it.
Corruption charges are a big deal. You can speculate all you want about the reason they are being brought but it just sounds like the ramblings of a conspiracy theorist honestly.
Ps I have no idea what you’re talking about regarding Biden. Somehow though you think this is retribution, as though that would be the reason for the charges and not someone dropping tips that the mayor is doing illegal things… 🙄
In the interest of open discussion I have gone over the indictment. My take aways are that the Mayor engaged in conduct not disimilar from similarly situated individuals, and that this disparate treatment of leveling criminal charges to me personally I believe earnestly are politically motivated. I know it is unpopular on lemmy, but this is my sentiment from South Brooklyn, NY (I feel many views are not from metro NY)
So what you’re saying is that you’re a trump supporter?
You’re implying that everyone does illegal things and only Democrats care when it’s not them. And of course Republicans are “cool” by letting the Democrats do illegal things unpunished…?

You’re expecting a paper labeled “Biden hit job plan” at the top in crayon, or…?

I said no such thing, what I was referring to is how others politicians get fines in these sorts of cases as opposed to federal felonies.
Got any examples of that?
