Today Im focusing on the Justice Department dismissing charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a move that has raised questions about the integrity of the justice system.Whats the latest? At least seven federal attorneys have resigned in protest after Donald Trumps DOJ directed them to dismiss corruption charges against Adams.In her resignation, Manhattans US attorney accused the new DOJ leadership of a quid-pro-quo: Adams would get his charges dropped, and in exchange, he would cooperate with the Trump administrations crackdown on undocumented immigrants in New York City.Thats a serious charge. Whats the evidence?Theres a suspicious confluence of timing. Adams agreed Thursday to open a major NYC jail to federal immigration officers, exempting the facility from sanctuary city laws, and he promised further cooperation as well. The prosecutor, Danielle R. Sassoon, says Adamss attorneys told the DOJ they would help with immigration enforcement but only if the charges were dismissed. Heres what Trump border czar Tom Homan said today about Adams: If he doesnt come through, Ill be back in New York City. Ill be in his office, up his butt, saying, Where the hell is the agreement we came to? (Its unclear exactly which agreement hes referencing, but it doesnt sound great.)What does the administration say? Adams denies any quid pro quo, and Trumps team says Adamss prosecution was political to begin with a Biden administration effort to punish Adams for criticizing its immigration policy. You can read the indictment and judge for yourself.Whats next? The Justice Department has the option to revive the charges after the New York mayoral election in November.Whats the big picture? If true, the quid pro quo charges suggest the administration is using law enforcement to leverage cooperation with its agenda. Thats a dangerous precedent, undermining the rule of law a cornerstone of a free society.And with that, its time to log off... Its choose-your-own-adventure Friday.
